VitaMix Vita-Prep 1003 Work Top Blender with 48 Oz Carafe (Vita-Mix, VitaPrep) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This superior blender (which I prefer to regard as a "pummeler" as almost nothing would withstand its deconstruction-efforts) is manufactured in Cleveland from whence only a limited number of superior products originate (Cleveland Clinic being in the same league.) If you're looking for an industrial strength product, practically impossible to intimidate or overload, this would be it. I've had one for over ten years, now; so infatuated with it that I've given them as gifts to friends and lovers on over half-a-dozen occasions. They aren't cheap, certainly, but are worth every penny!

Blendtec 96oz Commercial Extra Carafe / Jar Blender (KTec) - BPA FREE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to re write the entire review. I love this carafe. It is larger than the original, but still fits the base of the blendtek and the lids to the smaller carafe. The large wide shape does pull whatever you are blending down into the blades much more quickly. I never bother to chop greens, they are blended up with ease. Dry ingredients are also blended with more speed than the smaller carafe. If given the choice I would choose this size over the original size.
I did have one leak on me. I called customer service and it was replaced within 2 days. They included a return label for the leaking carafe. So it was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I now fully trust that any problems I would ever have will be resolved without issue.
I do recommend just ordering from Blendtek themselves as their prices are better and they ship quickly. Plus they have a record of your order in case you need assistance.
BPA free now too!

Ninja Blender - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I drink a lot of smoothies that contain frozen fruit and various vegetables. I was using a standard blender that could be purchased anywhere for normal household use. It was not powerful enough to handle all of the frozen fruit and items that I threw in it and the motor burnt out very quickly. I purchased the Ninja Blender to replace it, and here is my feedback after using it daily for two weeks:
Perks:
It is very powerful. I can fill it full of frozen fruit, various vegetables and greens, and it blends them very quickly and effortlessly. For that, I love it! It is easy and safe to use, even my children can operate it safely. It has a large pitcher that is easy to pour from. It is easy to clean-no need to disassemble it, the design is brilliant in that the parts are solid and well constructed, and easy to remove from the base to wash.
Downfalls:
It DOES NOT blend to a smooth consistency! If the most important feature of a blender for you is that it blend the contents smoothly, this IS NOT the blender for you. It does break everything down quickly and efficiently-power is not a problem. But no matter how long you blend the contents, they will still be grainy or "minced" at best. In other words, I must still "chew" my smoothie a bit. I believe it is the shape of the blades that are the downfall of this blender.
Because I blend daily and demand a lot from the blender, yet cannot afford the $300-400 units that would blend the way I need them to, I am opting to keep the Ninja. I am surrendering to the fact (for financial reasons) that it will not blend smoothly. I make my smoothies using a two-step process: cycle it through the Ninja first breaking everything up as much as possible, then pouring the amount I want to drink into my Magic Bullet and blending it again to a smooth consistency (I already owned the Magic Bullet, but rarely used it before because it simply wasn't big enough to suit my needs). This works for me because I make a huge Ninja pitcher full in the morning and put it in the fridge, then pour out and blend small amounts to drink in the Magic bullet throughout the day, "fast food" if you will.
It would be a benefit to the manufacturer of the Ninja Blender to construct an additional blade that will fit on the base of the current unit that blends to a smooth consistency.
***UPDATE***
I decided to contact the manufacturer to find out if there was a better blade available for the Ninja Blender. I was unhappy that their customer support was a non-English speaking representative. I could barely understand what he was saying, he could not understand me...I THINK that I discovered there is not another blade available that will puree my food/smoothies to a smooth consistency.
Ultimately, I returned the Ninja Blender. I grew tired of my two-step process described above, and felt it was not worth the money spent versus a less expensive blender that was perhaps not as powerful but would puree to a smooth consistency.
Because of my unpleasant experience with the customer service, and the fact that the blender does not puree, I reduced the rating to 2-star, and would NOT recommend this product for the money spent.
I would not recommend this product.
