Blendtec Overview

The latest Blendtec release brought more selection, more colors, more packages and a lot more choice. It is our hope that our exclusive new model Blendtec review will help to answer questions and get clear on which model is best for you.

More Power:
Newer model naming was based on the power each has – the 560 model has a 1560 watt motor while the 675 has a 1675 watt motor, the Blendtec 725 boasts 1725 watts. See the pattern? Also with the new Blendtec blenders we see the return of reported horsepower. *NOTE: Since the original writing of this review, Blendtec has stopped including the watts in their advertising.

Blendtec Series Organization

The previous Signature Series, and Blendtec Total Blender models have been discontinued and are sold as refurbished only from Blendtec (you may find them from retailers as old stock – be sure to confirm that a retailer is an authorized dealer). Now models are organized into three different series models: Blendtec Classic, Blendtec Designer, and the Pro Series. The differences between the Classic and Designer is in the motor technology, interface control panel, and housing design. The Pro Series takes blending to the highest level with added features not found in any of the other series.

Blendtec Classic

Blendtec ClassicThe Classic Blendtec blenders include the Blendtec Fit which represents the streamlined, most affordable Blendtec blender, the 570 (with limited distribution),and 575, all built upon the discontinued Signature Series base. All Classic Blendtec, ranging in power from 1475 watts to 1575 watts, continue with the soft button controls and interface found in the previous models.

Blendtec Designer

Blendtec Designer SeriesThe Blendtec Designer blenders include the 600 (with limited distribution), 625, 675, and 725/725C. This new series introduces a more advanced pre-programmed blending technology with more speed and blend cycle options. With power ranging from 1600 watts to 1725 watts we see the power bar continuing to be raised. Built upon the previous Designer Series style, these Blendtec blenders retain the hi-tech capacitive touch screen controls with a more stable, quieter base design.

Blendtec Total Blender

Blendtec Total BlenderThe original “classic” model remains available. This is the model that launched Blendtec blenders to the top of competition. While this model has been discontinued, it remains available direct from Blendtec as a discounted Factory Certified Refurbished blender.

 

In addition to the above models, there is the Pro Series which includes the professional 750 and the Professional 800. The Pro 800 model being the most powerful blender offered for the home. In addition, for the first time in a residential model, the Blendtec 800 includes Stealth Technology making it the “world’s quietest blender“.

A different kind of blender experience

The Blendtec Professional 750 is the most unique design as its main feature is the ability to custom install directly into kitchen counter tops. Made with the power and convenience Blendtec is known for.

Why choose the 750? Don’t let the name “Professional” confuse you. Unlike the Pro 800, the motor, performance, and warranty of the 750 is essentially the same as other models. The reason to choose this model over any other Blendtec is because of the in-counter installation option (or if you prefer the unique look).
