Blendtec blenders are built to the highest professional standards. Their patented, five-sided jar automatically pulls ingredients toward the blade, instead of spinning around in a circle in a round jar. No tamper/plunger needed. Professional-grade blender with 1-touch timed and pre-programmed cycles for smoothies, shakes, soups, crushed ice, juicer, ice cream maker, mixer, and self-cleaning. Although I haven’t personally used one, I have heard great things about them. I recommend everyone who makes a lot of smoothies, sauces, dressings and soups get either a Blendtec or Vitamix – a strong blender is an essential tool in the kitchen and will last a lifetime.
