The only downside to the Blendtec is the noise. It ranges between 95-105 db.
I ended up ordering the Vitamix E310.(Certified Reconditioned available for $289). It does everything that the Blendtec does with a lower noise profile. Ranges between 84 - 104 db.
By the way, decibel scale is logarithmic. In other words, 95 db is twice as loud as 85 db. 105 db is 4 times as loud as 85 db. Even with the Vitamix, I tend to not run it at the highest speeds. Speeds 1-6 are okay.

Maybe a vitamix 5200 is a little better overall but its also twice the price

how would you compare this model of blentech to the entry level vitamix?
You can also use it without a tamper but you have to be careful on the order of ingredients and the amounts.
I hope somebody finds this tip useful.

Do you have the wildside jar? If so, can you post a link to which tamper you bought?
I have been trying and my comment disappears. If you search for blendtec tamper in Amazon, is the only one and comes in two presentations: one comes with a spatula, the other doesn't. The box says tamperla. Also eBay has it. It is white grip and black body.

Overall, this is a really solid blender, which our family uses several times daily.

I got one too and had a chance to compare it to a 5200 this weekend. I didn't do a whole lot of blending but did smoothies in both and I liked the consistency of the blendtec one better. Also the Vitamix left a piece of a frozen strawberry that wouldn't blend. So I'm very happy with my purchase after competing them. Watching the vitamix YouTube videos I was wondering if I made a wrong decision picking this. But I like the blendtec.
