This is my #1 pet peeve about this blender. Yes, SMOKING! Not to mention, it won’t even turn back on for another 5-10 minutes after shutting down. In fact, it consistently shuts off within the first few minutes of blending and starts smoking. MOTOR FAILS – It struggles to blend “difficult” ingredients like dates and frozen bananas.Nut meals and smoothies consistently spill over the small “spout” making it not ideal for pouring into small glasses and jars. SPOUT – The spout is poorly designed and is not conducive to actually pouring ingredients out of the container.However, four things have repeatedly disappointed me about this machine: I purchased my refurbished Vitamix (7500) 2+ years ago and I wanted to like it so badly because everyone spoke so highly of the brand. Struggles to blend tough ingredients like dates, frozen fruit + and nut butters without shutting down or turning off entirely and smoking (huge concern!).The spout’s design and placement makes it hard to pour from (spills over the edges of the spout).Clunky to get out and use if not storing on the counter (because of its weight).Less horsepower + heavier than its Blendtec counterpart.Generally more expensive than Blendtec blenders (by at least $100).

Can handle large quantities of ingredients and does particularly well grinding nuts, seeds, and grains into flour.

Comes with a tamper / wand to push down ingredients while blending (Blendtec does not).

Offers longer warranties than Blendtec (5 years +).

Many of you have inquired about my opinion on Vitamix vs Blendtec, so it was due time to share my formal review. I bought each of these blenders with my own money and tested them as unbiasedly as possible. This is not a sponsored post and I have had no contact with either company.
