Vita-mix Blender Test Goes Up Against 3 Powerful Blenders
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.พ. 2013
- We here at VitalityPlus1.com wanted to put the biggest name in blenders in the USA up against some tough competition to see just how good it really is. We wanted to see just how fine we could blend a tough vegetable so we went with a root veggie and since carrots are popular we chose that one. Always remember, the finer the blend the better the blood stream is going to absorb it. Straight liquid juice is always going to be best followed by the finest blended food.

Best test I've seen so far on TH-cam, keep up the good work.
No, problem. Glad you liked it, I consider it a one of a kind!!
thanks for the details and doing this test for us.
Excellent test, thanks much!
i like the bits where he blended some carrots.
thanks, thanks, thanks, an honest and very well directed test, neat, helpful, to say the least!
Thanks, we think it is a one of a kind!
Very interesting and quite helpful. Thank you
Just bought a Waring MX1200 best blender I've used. Had a Ninja before, the performance isn't even close. This video helped me choose over the Vitamix and Blendtec, not to mention I got it for $200 less than their best models. Thank you very much for this post!
This is the only test I plan on doing
I agree, it certainly is not a professional video, but it CERTAINLY gets the point across. Personally I think for what little time may have been off for each (test) machine, it made NO difference what so ever. The reason I did not do the temp on the last one was, I remembered during blending that blender jar (JTC) was brought in from a non heated storage area and it was cold out so I did not think it fair to test the temp since I forgot to let it warm to room temp. Thanks
Just learned about Enpee. Looks amazing.
I agree it would be nice to see a test done with ice or a frozen fruit smoothie mixture. I am wondering if the higher heat that the waring showed made a difference in the texture.
At the 1:25 mark, I say they will all be blended at the highest power setting and it says on the screen "on high".
Thanks...I know when I lived at my last house the Vita mix would not fit under the cabinet which I did not like. Yes not a professional video and was not intended to be but it sure gets the point across.
A tamper is nice to have with any blender as sometimes you get an air pocket in the bottom of the jar.
Hey any chance of you doing these tests with the wider short vitamix jug
No problem, I would want to know these things if I was buying a blender
Thanks, I really enjoyed your test. I am looking at the Waring this week-end. The model I am looking at is the 110 volt version and it sells for $275 roughly on Amazon. I was also interested in adding the stainless option to it because I don't like plastic because of toxins and they don't hold up as well. I also don't know how dependable Warling is in the long run. Thanks
The high setting has been address several times in the comments - It certainly is on the highest setting! The jar used in this test is by far the most popular one that comes standard on most all home blenders. We will not be doing any more tests with different jars!
I have personally owned a Vita Mix for 3 years (use it 1-2 times a day) and it still works as good as new!
In response to others saying that the VM was not fairly tested, from what I see, the test was fairly done, and that Waring dominated some carrots... On the left side of the VM there is a "Variable/High" switch. When the switch is on VARIABLE the center nob is used to control the blend speed (1-10).However, when on HIGH, the blend speed is irrelevant, as it is now on HIGH and not VARIABLE.
One thing that is not taken under consideration in this test is durability (along with other factors of course). Show me someone who has outlasted their VitaMix and I'll show you a stern look of doubt.
That Waring dominated some carrots, however.
Warings are the go to choice of restaurants not Vitamix.
ReachBlows Dick Chefs don't use blenders to chop veggies, that's what knives are for. lol
ReachBlows Dick that's interesting, but I don't eat ice cream but thanks for the insights. Anyway, for ice cream, use the Waring 1200 model, it has variable speed and does the job better than Vitamix for a lot less.
lol, I don't need fancy warranties. Right now I'm using a $20 underpowered Walmart blender (w/ glass container) but just using it to make green smoothies. It takes longer to blend my smoothies but they come out pretty decent. The motor went out on it, so I took it all apart, cleaned up the motor, reassembled it and it's back to it's original motor strength. The motor assembly is super cheap but so far has performed quite well considering the expense of the established leaders. I have time on my side but still doing research. I am leaning towards the Waring models. But I only plan on using them to do lighter duty purposes.
the only issue thus far I can see with these powerful blenders is that they release PTFE (aka Teflon) into the smoothies, etc. Supposedly, it's inert but doesn't sound all that healthy. That's why I went with a cheap glass jar blender, no PTFE.
11:36 Waring - so this is why the Earth's rotation speed is increasing!
It was also necessary to measure the noise level.
Many people live in apartment buildings and such a monster will cause a shootout.
Notice that the Vita-Mix is the only unit where you have to use a plunger.
Croozer Blend tech design was stolen by vitamix. They were sued and blend tech won the lawsuit. So if vitamix the king of blenders copy blend tech, one should wonder why?
You didn't show the temperature of the JTC test.
I also noticed that the time you would leave them on for was always different. That affects the temperature too.
And some times you would not hit the timer immediately before starting the machine.
While I do like the Waring the best; I would hardly put the Vitamix in last place. Notice how he had to hold the Blendtec in place with his hand while in use? Lots of people have that issue with Blendtec.
Simply7The7Best The test was done in the winter and the JTC was not at room temperature like the other 3 so that is why the temp was not taken since we did not feel it was fair since it was brought in from the outdoors and we forgot to let it warm up. The Vitamix definitely deserved LAST PLACE in our minds. As far as the little time difference goes, that basically had NO bearing on the outcome. MOST of the carrot was blended in the first minute. A person certainly does not have to keep their hand on the Blendtec when in use, that was just my choice. I have used that blender a number of times without holding the jar, no doubt it will vibrate some since it has MORE power than the VitaMix.
Vitamix vs Vita-Mix,
is the same or different?
how much hp. was that vitamix, blender you in the test. Please
How about comparing the Vitamix to the Enpee which is more powerful & 1/2 the price?
I question the validly of these tests. If you watch the video carefully you will notice quit a few inconsistencies between the tests.
He used the best Waring and JTC against the normal Blendtec and Vitamix. Does he know the Blendtec's best is the Tom Dickson Edition and the Vitamix has the New Gen and the Vita-Prep 3HP? Also the Blendtec used less carrots and the Vitamix was not on the highest setting. Bias video man.
We just wanted to use some carrots rather than just loading up the jars with a bunch of veggies.
Vitamix - Current Based Technology - 10-14 years old *
Natural Foods Institute - Olmsted Falls, Ohio (1949)
* Still uses plunger, even though newer (labor-saving) technology has clearly been developed.
Comparison Test Results
1. The Vitamix variable speed dial starts rotating the blade at 1 rpm, so it was not in use.
2. Heat is a direct byproduct of the amount of work being performed. (94 degrees vs 104 degrees)
3. The carrot puree was consistent and evenly smooth for the Raptor. The Vitamix was comparatively "chunky" and less consistent (watery).
Although Vitamix is justifiably in the hearts of many as the Gold Standard, Its time for newer, better performing technologies to emerge and gain market share, while stimulating the Vitamix decision makers to update and improve they're technology.
@Tahititoutou Where did you purchase your Waring MX1050xtx in Canada?
At the Webstaurant Store.
www.webstaurantstore.com/?Dmar3%2D2%2D2014
Paid it $259.15 Canadian, including delivery, taxes etc. in october 2013
Thanks for post this test video. this is the first that I have seen with the comparison of the waring. they also have a 1.5 hp version called the mega mix. Will you be doing a similar test on some more affordable versions. Mainly I have been wanting to see the oster six bladed fusion vs the kitchen aid. I just say a clip on the dynablend 1hp 850 watt by tribestlife. they have a 10 year warranty. i forget what the warranty is on the others.
Thanks again.
The 7500 (over $500) may have a bit bigger motor but it is NOT that much bigger. The Vita-Prep 3 priced at $775 is commercial with a 1/3 year warranty and yes does have good power, it should for that kind of money. Are you aware Blendtec sued and won a big chuck of money from Vita-Mix for patent infringements of their jar, do a search it is there! As one person commented, this test is by far the best comparison on TH-cam......Maybe you can do a test with these other blenders...
Thanks... As far as ice cream goes, I have always thought if Vita-mix claims their blender will do, soups, ice cream and so forth, then these other higher end blenders will do just about the same if not better. I do not like the Vita-mix jar but they "may" perform just a little bit better doing SMALL amounts of different things since their jar is a bit narrower at that bottom.. If somebody says Vita-mix will do ice cream better than Blendtec or Waring, I would have to see a video that proved it!
The speed issue has been addressed several times in the comments, you may want to review them. The Vita-mix was ran at the highest speed possible. All you have to do is look at the switch on the left, it is up in the highest setting.
I cant see that what you are saying is true. It's also not how you're supposed to use the machine.
**If somebody says Vita-mix will do ice cream better than Blendtec or Waring, I would have to see a video that proved it!**
As you requested. Search youtube or Google with or without the quotes: "Vitamix Professional Series 750 vs. Blendtec Designer Series SHOWDOWN!" by Henry PJ
The showdown starts at 11:05.
Also: VitaMix vs Blendtec - Round 4 - Ice Cream
Search Google for more ice cream & other showdowns: "make ice cream with Blendtec vs Vitamix"
Any time the switch is on "high" the dial will not work, so the dial "only" works when the switch is on low. The Vita-mix was on high and used at the "highest" possible setting!
Ok. But when I say the Blendtec technically doesn't need a tamper, I don't mean that to say that you can just "push the button and walk away". What I mean is that you may have to stop it, mess with the control, maybe even use a spatula to scrap down the sides, etc. Yes a tamper would be nice and gives VM the edge over the Blendtec ins a lot of ways. But get what I'm saying: there is a difference between *needing* something versus simply "nice to have".
Most people including myself do not want to dilute with water any more than needed. I guess if you want to use the vita-mix then you may need to add more water but not with Blendtec and Waring.
Thanks for this video! Do you have any knowledge of how the Waring makes ice cream? I agree. The test seems perfectly fair. That is a popular Vitamix model, and it didn't perform as well as the other blenders. Plain and simple.
We originally did this test to demonstrate the 220 volt blenders so people would not have to spend up to $1000 overseas on a VM or Blendtec. This test turned out to revile more than anticipated. We used VERY COMMON home VM and Blendtec, ones that have been sold for years. Why don’t you get your bad B&D blender out, do a video EXACTLY like mine, add that new VM and jar. Of course I know your video will NEVER EVER HAPPEN because you’re B&D does not stand a chance to beat the Waring or Blendtec.
No, I had the Ninja BBL660 (an 1100W machine with single serve capabilities). And no matter how long I let it blend a green smoothie (sometimes as much as 5 minutes on the highest setting), it would never make a "smooth" smoothie. No matter what, it would come out gritty and there would be hundreds of little "bits" that go unblended. No matter how long I let it run, it could never produce what my Blendtec can do in 40 seconds on the smoothie cycle. Believe me, I REALLY wanted to like the Ninja.
It's very obvious U R a Vita-mix retailer or something similar. I can honestly tell you back in 2005-2008, the Blendtec was outselling VM 5:1. Also I own a VM Vita Prep 3, commercial 3 HP blender which I have had for several year. The only reason I have it is I traded for it. Good blender as I like the power and will use it when I have lots of frozen fruit, but I HATE their jar. I will use my JTC jar on that VP3 since it will fit. Also the middle dial on that VP3 only works part of the time :(
You never mentioned the temperature of the JTC's blend...
+frappuccinez Test was done in the Winter and the jar was brought in from the cold and while still cold we did the test but not thinking we should have warmed the jar first. We did not feel it right to test the temp afterwards. We have used this blender and it does not heat up anymore than the others.
I hate the idea of a tamper. I was leaning toward Blendtec, but now considering Waring because of this video and some others.
You were inconsistent with setting the clock and you didn't show us the temp for the last machine.
Not a total fail but it could have been a tiny bit better. Good effort!
@ Vitality4377
You said “I hope to start selling the 110 volt Waring commercial units in the future.” May I ubderstand that you can contact Waring? As I mentioned earlier, your vid brought me to buy Waring Xtreme blender, and I am quite happy I did. However, I tried to contact Waring about a question concerning the blade bearing and they just don't answer although their site claims they will answer us "soon". I tried three times in a month; looks like they couldn't care less. How can we contact them?
Is there a phone number for them in the back of your owners manual?
I do not think that higher heat made any difference at all, I think the Waring had that stuff blended that well in under a minute.
I believe "all" their standard home blenders are a little more than 2 hp
Plastic does not break!
What is the cost of each of these blenders?
About 550 for waring 220v, 400 blendtec, JTC 220v 350
There is no way it was run at anything other than high and it is easy to prove. The switch on the left is high/ low with high up and low down. That dial in the middle is for low range ONLY and if that switch on the left was down in low range the blade would not even come close to being able to grind the carrots. When the switch is up in high range which it was, that dial in the middle plays no role what so ever with the speed of the machine. The Vita-mix was maxed out on speed/power and lost.
btw, I don't want to talk you out of the VM, it's a great machine. And truthfully, I can't, because there's nothing the BT can do that the VM can't do.
Vitality4377 Hey has Waring done anything about the black sludge that leaks from their jars into mixtures? I've seen the vitamix 5200 jars with this identical problem and I'm wondering if Waring has done anything to fix this.
What do you think is causing the Waring Jars to spit out black sludge?
FDA LabRat Probably need to change the blade
Marie-Louise Patwardhan Maybe, but it seems to happen to the new ones, I don't think the blades are the problem since their new.
Maybe they just need to be broken in first, but how much black sludge should we eat before it stops? I'm a little too nervous to buy a Waring right now until they fix this.
FDA LabRat I have heard from NO one that has had that problem with these commercial units, that is new to me.
FDA LabRat Waring actually offers a stainless steel container. And there are aftermarket blade setups you can get for them as well. Many people complain about black particles with the Vitamix. I personally think those particles are just falling off the black lid. You could try putting a piece of plastic wrap between the lid and the container during the water only test, and then see if the particles are still there.
Simply7The7Best Yes I've seen and used the Waring steel containers, I think all blenders should go back to steel or make better glass jars since they're way better than BPS Free plastic jars. I've noticed that the black particles on the vitamix come from the taller 64oz jars found on the 6300-5200 models as well as the smaller 48oz jars too. But we've haven't seen this on the new gen 7500-750Pro model 640z jars yet. Well at least none of ours hasn't ever done that. I spoke with vitamix reps and they said that they're going to release new jars around the fall season, until then people should wait before buying a vitamix. As for Waring I haven't heard back anything from them so I don't recommend anyone buying Waring until they at least acknowledge their problems and try fixing them.
Why don't you get a new generation Vita-Mix and Blendtec with a 64oz jar and do the exact same test I did and that will settle it. I know that is not going to happen because we know the outcome is going to be a Blendtec winner. It was really too bad Vita-mix lost that law suit and a HUGH chuck of MONEY to Blendtec for trying to copy their superior jar. I do not plan to do any more videos but I am looking forward to your video, let me know when it is done and do not forget to include your B&D. :)
Never mind, sorry for accusing you Vitality.
Yes, but I would suggest searching for BlenderDudeTV as he does a Vitamix vs Blendtec ice cream where he makes the ice cream the way it has to be made in a Blendtec. Henry just doesn't know how to use a Blendtec as he's a Vitamix guy. Liquid is needed at the base in the Blendtec (since there is no tamper to push items) and it will make the ice cream perfectly. Type in youtube dot com and then /watch?v=WuTzULvSYPo
Um, after watching several videos of how almond flour is made on the Vitamix, I doubt it can pull off what you mentioned. I want to see a Vitamix filled to the very top with nothing but raw almonds and see if it can make almond flour. I bet even with the tamper, it cannot pull it off, but will end up with a huge mess with almond butter at the bottom. Funny how every video I watch of the VM making almond flour, not one does it in the same scenario you pulled with the BT guy.
That's funny, because I make ice cream, nut butters, grind flours (I'm gluten free), my own coffee, use it to chop onions and cabbage for coleslaw, etc. So what were you saying that the Blendtec is only for smoothies and soups? This is a straight up lie. If you like VM better, fair enough. But don't lie to turn people off of the Blendtec. In fact, I just made 3 cups of peanut butter in my WildSide jar in approx 3 minutes. I know the VM can do it in half that time, but 3 minutes isn't a big deal.
As always in life everyone is selling something! It already has been noted he didn't have Vitamix on high speed, and I also noted he started the timer right away for Vitamix but didn't start the timer right away for at least the next 2 blenders! If he didn't cheat he definitely didn't know Vitamix very well perhaps he doesn't sell it! Shame on you -- others saw what you did...the longevity can be answered in one demo! I don't sell anything, but Vitamix is known 10-15yr or more lifecycle.
@ Richard Sokol You write " he didn't have Vitamix on high speed". This has been mentioned again and again and again and again and... It IS on high speed : the left button selects between "High" and "Variable". It is on High", so the position of the knob is irrelevant. It is at least the 20th time this is mentioned.
The Vitamix is nothing more than a brand these days as it is now made in China along with all these other brands, cheap and its quality is no longer what it once was.
yea a brand starts with a design!
otherwise its just a bunch parts laying on a bench! Video shows made american workers in Cleveland Ohio--whatever !!!
i agree vitamix is nothing what it used to be. Ive gon through 2 vitamix containers.
Your WRONG, read all the comments here, it is explained in a later posting!
no plastic!please!!!!
Only glass or inox 18/10
the Vita mix is running on variable instead of high and is set at speed of 1..if the kob is set on high the speed control is redundant and if you look closely its on variable which is the slowest speed of this blender his guys a cheat
+Remi Dcosta If you would have look through all the comments, this has been address many times, it makes NO difference where the knob is when the unit is on HIGH, call Vitamix and ask them
+Bryon Nevius looks like variable 1 to me... it's not spinning near fast enough for a vitamix
+Remi Dcosta your a liar and someone that needs to invest in eye glasses!
Use more water!
The Vitamix was on its lowest setting and the Blentec, Waring and the JTC on high. What kind of a fair comparison is that? Not really a very helpful comparison. The video seems biased, rather like those Ninja infomercials.😝
You need to go back and look at past comments, this has already been discussed, it is obvious you have no idea of vita-mix controls.
@@bryonnevius2883 I own a pro 750. The 5200 is an older design. People who own the newer machines do not have to flip to hi. Not knowing this means nothing.
Even blendtech beat vitamix ha ha
Dude doesn't even know how to work a blender properly. Who starts it out on HIGH???
It's hard to see if it is on high, you should be switching during blending. More gays get confused.
Waring are awsome vitamix are so overrated
BLENDERS eq-vip.com.ua/barnoe-oborudovanie/blendery
why were you inconsistent with your test in a comparison video? What's the point then. It invalidates anything you do. The vitamix was given less time, and was not used according to instructions. You wanted it to fail it seems, so who knows what other inconsistencies you did? You are a cheater or dont know how to conduct tests. You go off camera with your blends as well so seeing as how I feel i cant trust you....🤷♀️
another vita-mix salesman that just can not seem to face the fact the other units are just a good if not better as proven...
@@Vitality4377 No, just an ordinary person who owns a vitamix. I'm sorry about my rudeness. I personally have always had excellent results from mine. I do not have experience with other types of blenders. I just want to see fair tests, especially since I do not have personal experience with other machines.
@@ale347baker No problem, Bring your machine over any time as I would love to put it up against the high powered Waring.
Most people including myself do not want to dilute with water any more than needed. I guess if you want to use the vita-mix then you may need to add more water but not with Blendtec and Waring.
