- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2019
- I thought it would be fun to put these two powerful blenders in a side-by-side comparison and run them through a few tests. They are both great blenders and I would be happy having either one of these in my home... but which one is the best? Let me know your thoughts and comments down below. Which blender do you have?

*I had one of these before and it lasted many years and I used it a lot. It blends **MyBest.Kitchen** chops ,grates. Does most anything you would want to use it for. A lot of bang for your buck. A litlle loud however it so fast it is not bothersome.*
When I used my Vitamix for the first time, my neighbors thought there was an airplane taking off in my unit.
Lmaoo, I almost spit up my hot chocolate reading your comment.
I used an immersion blender recently and my neighbor asked me about what's the noise. I'm planning to buy Vitamix, I can't imagine how they will react given that it is much much much louder than a simple not loud hand immersion blender.
Lmbo
sorry but thats funny! thanks for that.
Gunna be fun when i get mine within around 5 weeks man i have 14 neighbours in flats haha
Man after using my new vita mix I couldn’t say anymore positive things about it, if you’re on the fence about buying one of these I would definitely say do it
Hey Brian and Derrik. Please Make a Why Im Still Vegan video!
hey dude quick question does your wiggle when its on? or is it just mine?
@@Ao400 mine does but I don't think it is supposed to
Brian Turner
No I do I love my vita mix it’s made the USA
@@Ao400 My Vitamix is the A3500 (most expensive of the newish Ascent series) and it wiggles a little at the base too. I always wondered if something was wrong with it, but it otherwise works great. I think it just might be the way it's designed. And it is really noisy at top speeds, but it does the job really well. It's so easy to keep clean too using the cleaning mode. So overall I'm happy with mine!
This was hillarious!! I almost spit out my chunky Ninja smoothie...
Tanner Conley ME TOO!!
@@KeelanTatarliovvvvv I think I have blender envy
Hahaha... but like legit tho... 😳😆
Lol! You need to create a gofundme page for a Vitamix.
@@kbel4872 willing to be my first donor?
You two have such great chemistry together, I love your videos.
Lacinato Kale vs Green Kale ;)
Also my wife convinced me to try a blendtec after growing up with a Vitamix. I took the blendtec back the same day. The true test of the best blender is to throw in a chunk of ginger. The Vitamix is the only one that doesn't leave stringy pieces of ginger.
Great fun video! Thanks for sharing.
😂😂😂 I've had my Vitamix for over 4 years and I love it! Best purchase, along with my pressure cooker, I ever made!
Agree. Pressure cooker and a blender are vegan's best friends.
I have the Vitamix 750 Pro Series. Hands down the best blender ever! I love the smoothie pre-set.
"THAT IS *DISGRACEFUL* ! Put in in a bowl!!" LOL
That was awesome! 😄 Thanks to both of you.
5 1/2 years on team Blendtec and I still Love her.
I use a Vitamix at work, but I have a Blendtec at home. I think they both blend equally well. I like the shape of the Blendtec jar better, it makes it easier to scrape out the last bit of food from the bottom, and cleaning them is easier as well. A tamper would be a good addition, but I usually don’t need it
Can't you buy a temper 2nd hand and pop the clear part of the lid off?
I was deciding between the Blendtec and Vitamix. My decision between the two is which one is easier to clean.
@@garyfontenot2786 Blentecs are easy to clean. Mine smells from the soup I made last. So am going to bleach the inside over night. You put 200 ml of warm water in washing up liquid then pulse for a while untill clean. Some have a clean buttion. Vitamix are not very common in the UK. Blentec blenders are they are in many public businesses.
@@garyfontenot2786 I have had both for a few years now. I can tell you Blentec doesn’t make a uniformed & silky smoothie like Vitamix does. That’s why I’m going to buy a new Vitamix Vita Prep 3 for my new boutique. You probably already bought either one of them, as your comment was 2 years ago.
@@thekindmaker6219 I bought the Vitamix, and it works great.
In fairness, it is possible to make a smooth frozen dessert in a Blendtec. It's just not as easy. You need a very specific ratio of ingredients in smaller pieces. With the Vitamix, none of that matters because you can literally force everything into the blade and not worry about air pockets forming.
dumped my Ninja for a Vitamix a while back. Excellent for green smoothies
Healthy MBS dumped my ninja earlier this week for a vitamix all I can say is wow these two are not even comparable the vita mix is badass
I have a nija choper its ok but not made for smoothies. The blades take up a lot of space in a small jar. This means less ingrediants to go in.
😂😂😂😂I did the same, vitamix is way better than my ninja blender
My ninja lasted 3 months
I’ve had a Blendtec for 7 years and it’s made everything perfectly. It doesn’t need a tamper because it has many cycles that do those tasks. You use pulse instead of tamper to get the same result. I got the impression you were not familiar with those Blendtec features and tried to use in the same way as a Vitamix. Cleanup is also important and Blendtec is super fast and easy.
I said the same thing she didn't really know how to use the blentech
the pulse feature for the smoothie bowl, even with frozen fruit ?
@@JS-qk4rh yeah, it would help to move around the fruit and break it up to where it could start to blend. They give you a rubber spatula to push stuff back down while the blender is off
I had a blentec that lasted me about three years before the motor gave out, had to go through four container jars as well, the black rubber on the bottom kept deteriorating
For the nice cream in the Blendtec, it's possible to use a wooden spoon between pulses and use another function than "ice cream" ;)
Thanks for motivating me to go Vegan Derek and Krystal or Crystal Been Vegan for a week now and I feel great and It makes me stop being depressed. I started being Vegan when I found your channel which was a week ago . So thank you so much... and keep making videos :).
Congrats on going vegan!!!! Thats incredible :)
Vegan for 17 years....its a wonderful life. I did little supplementation besides b12, vegan d3, and Vegan DHA....these are all done in moderation and with occasional breaks for quite a long time. Since I have been bodybuilding the last 2 years i've had noticed great changes...I recently did some creatine supplementation to wonderful effect. cheers!
@@themax2go Whatever works :D I know there is naturally occurring creatine in sweet potatoes....its just in small amounts...and I didn't eat a ton of sweet potatoes this last 17 years....from what i've researched it seems to be relatively harmless when used responsibly....what's odd for me is that I experienced a true positive cognitive change since I've introduced it....I wonder if it's something I needed after being vegan so long????I didn't start taking protein powders until after body building...now I love them, but i'm picky...I actually had a VERY BAD REACTION to brown rice protein...so I avoid it. Pea, hemp, pumpkin, and sacha inchi protein powders all seem to digest pretty well for me...I think variety is key...I usually go for the ones least processed like Sunwarrior warrior blend etc.... I find it to be a very helpful way to spike my protein levels while keeping calories down...a wonderful invention in my view....but just like anything there are good and bad ones...not ideal to lean on in place of meals....
@@themax2go thats the weird thing...ive only been taking it less then a week. nothing else has changed...
@@themax2go www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201202/your-brain-creatine an interesting article....kind of makes sense
I've always wondered which was better, now I know, have a Vitamix blender and love it, and will never give it up, great video, thank you for that!
This was hilarious! Thanks for the video and the laugh, just what I needed during revision for exams!
Thanks for keeping it light:) Been watching some videos from The Real Truth About Health series and wow are they heavy. You guys always bring it back down to living in the moment.
I seriously just adore you both! I especially enjoy when you both are in the videos
Fun video, very happy with my Vitamix, nothing compares, obviously, haha. Super silky smoothies, awesome nice cream, oat flour, etc, it’s an amazing must have worth the money.
It's NOT normal to have to chew your greens in your smoothie? 😩😩😩 #teamninja
Do Ninjas not blend well?
lol if u blend the greens w the liquid before until there’s no chunks left and then add the fruit/bananas etc it makes a world of difference!! my ninja has a specific smoothie option and a smaller single use blender so i use that and do the smoothie setting w abt three cups of spinach and 4oz almond milk and go for a full cycle and it completely blends it up! then i just add the banana and fruit for another cycle. no more chewing!!
@@annabowden5906 shouldnt have to
If they blended longer than 40 seconds, there would be no need to chew.
What a fun video! It's a pleasure watching you do this, thanks guys!
I was on the stair master laughing my head off watching the blend tec bubble over. Great video!
I’ve been wanting to see this comparison. Thank you both, funny video as well.
Awesome. I'm in the market for one of these two right now. Perfect timing
OMG!! I love you two!! ♥️ What a fantastic video!! xx
This was awesome hahah. Very entertaining and informative. Thank you guys!
Such a fun and different video from you! Love you both together! Happy Saturday!
I'm in camp Vitamix! Great video...lots of fun🤣
This was such a good video!! Nice change up 🤗 love watching you 2!
Hey Derek. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I really look forward to everything you put out. You were a big inspiration on me to start eating healthier (btw I’ve been vegan for 2.5 years). So anyways... my father recently passed away and I’m only 16 years old, like you were when you lost your dad (my dad was vegan too). And although I believe that genetics doesn’t play a big role in longevity, my father died from a sudden cardiac arrest which can happen to younger people, affects males, and was something that all his uncles had. He went vegan because he wanted to join my sister and I in our new lifestyle and wanted to be healthy. After becoming vegan his blood tests were phenomenal, and his cholesterol went down 45 points, along with taking multi vitamin and omega 3 supplements. He was in great shape and before he died recently had run 1.5 miles in under 9 minutes after not running at all, and at 71 years old. This has been really hard for my family but I always went back to you as a source of positivity. If there is something you could say or share, it would mean a lot. Thanks.
Noah Dexter I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s always hard to lose a parent no matter how old you are. But, losing him so young must be especially difficult. You and your family will be in my prayers this week.
I bought my refurb Vitamix 17 years ago and its still going strong! My personal opinion is those "digital" gimmicks may just shorten the overall lifespan.
Well, Waring and Vitamix have had digital blenders in the food industry for well over 20 years, and it seems to work fine. I don't worry about my 750 Pro, but on the other hand, I never use any of the presets. A blender needs a precise dial, and that's it. If I was okay with the noise in my home, there would be a Vita-Prep 3 rather than a 750, but it's stupid loud for home use.
I also have a 17 year old refurb Vitamix that I use daily and still runs.
love the energy at the start 😀
I have a Vitamix already and won't ever change it out for anything different, but I just love watching you two! Hilarious video :)
Love my BlendTec! I have had it for about 7 years without issues. I did research on both then and decided on the BlendTec. I use it almost daily. I do not think you could go too terribly wrong with either on. I have used a wooden spoon to get things going....it works.
I used a wooden spoon as a tamper one time and went a little too deep so I wound up with a smoothie full of wood chips XD
@@AConnorDN38416 yeah....gotta be careful with that. Rubber spatula works too. 😉
Blendtec is just as expensive if not more and it's no way near as good as Vitamix, sorry but it's true, and for that price point, if it needs something to push the product down they should design it and put one specifically for that blender in with your blender purchase. If it doesn't come with one, I assume it shouldn't need it.
My refurbished at the time, 7 years ago Vitamix is still running like new.
wow you bought a refurbished😩i might invest in 1 then. How is it now lol
The best blender is the 1968 Oster model that was sold at K-Mart. You will have to search around garage sales, but it's totally worth it.
Hands down your best video! This is hilarious!! 😂😂😂
Haven’t even fully watched yet and love!! My Vitamix is like my family member it’s pretty ridiculous lol!!!😂 Can’t wait to see the matchup!💥💥
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
Katy makes it I know I love my Vitamix too💕.
Vitamix is a way of life. Viva Los Vitamix!
when Derek started freaking out at 8:35 😭🤣
Loved it! More of these videos 🙌
I absolutely love my blendtec!! I was deciding between the two and really liked the look of the blendtec over the vitamix! It may take a little longer to do thicker smoothie bowls but it gets the job done 😁
Does yours bounce around a lot? Does your lid on the wildside+ jar gradually rise up? I just got my 725 blendtec and am having these two problems idk if its normal.
So you chose your blender based on looks? Yup, sounds like a Blendtec user. Cooks and chefs will look elsewhere.
I guess you may have bought either one of them. I just would like to share that I have had both for a few years now. I can tell you Blentec doesn’t make a uniformed & silky smoothie like Vitamix does. That’s why I’m going to buy a new Vitamix Vita Prep 3 for my new boutique.
@@AB-80X that's why Starbucks used Blendtec for years, right? Because only silly people use them, right?
Sure they use Vitamix now, but Vitamix was around for years when they made the decision to use Blendtec.
Love this video Derek and Crystal. I love using my Vitamix.
For a smoothie bowl, I would use the blendtec twister jar, because the lid has little spatula scrapers that help all of the food get pushed down to the blades like how the tamper works for the vitamix.😊
Thanks for the video and review.
It’s so funny 😂 Keep it going guys!
Sorry you guys didn't have any fun making this one. 😆 I loved this one! And not just because you made me feel even better about buying my sweet, sweet Vitamix.
I loved this video! Keep up the good work guys, you make me smile everytime :)
Thanks Derek and Crystal! I have been wondering which would be the best one. Y'all are too funny.
Wish I could have seen this before I chose to get a vitamix. Such a practical review because you’re doing things I would actually do. I chose the vitamix because of the blade design and the tamper. I had a blendtec before and it ALWAYS left chunks. I don’t understand their design at all. If I tried to blend anything with dates.. dear god. I have so much love for my vitamix
hilarious! Always happy for more videos with Crystal in - you two are great together!
Hi Derek & Crystal! loved this video!
For everyone using a not so high tech blender and wanting to make a nice cream/smoothie bowl here‘s a trick for you: boil your water or use hot water from the tab and put it in first, then add your frozen fruit/veggies. It makes a huge difference and works almost everytime for my blender 😊 one day I’ll invest in a vitamix too but as long as I’m a student I just can’t afford it so my little hack saves my life 😅
You two are so much fun!
Cracking up 🤣 y’all are great! That was hilarious!
I didnt see this before I got my Vitamix, I'm happy that I purchased it!
Vitamix is more than a blender - it's a way of life:)
@@AB-80X every thing is a way of life, isn't it?
I am a blendtec girl, but I also admit it takes two rounds to get that smoothie bowl perfect :) no big deal.
I just give mine a shake half way through. The reason I like Blendtec better is that is crushes the food rather than cutting it - there's no other way to get those antioxidants out of the blueberry seeds! :-)
@@DarvaCampbell What is the difference between crushing and cutting when blending? Thank you.
How is Blendtec service, being its American made?
@@Alien2799 Both work the same way. The Vitamix just cuts on the startup. Both blenders are "power blenders" and work on the exact same principle.
As for fit and finish, and quality, the Vitamix is the proven blender found in most commercial kitchens across the world.
@@DarvaCampbell vitamix has dull blades that dont cut
You guys are so great; this was one of my favorite videos from you two! You made me laugh- which is good medicine too ;) Keep up the good work! :)
I think the real test is if they can blend a mix of oats, dates, and almonds like you would if you were making a cake crust. I have a 19-year-old Vitamix that is still going strong, but definitely overheats and shuts down when I'm making that gnarly date paste. She still gets the job done though, god bless 'er.
Blendtec would crap out, because you need a tamper for this. My Vitamix doesn't have a problem blending this.
Haha super light and fun. Great video guys! Of course the Vitamix reigns supreme! It’s the king of blenders. I wasn’t even sweatin. 👍🌱🌱🌱😎
That was fun to watch, thank you
my vitamix changed my life
Had so much fun watching this video, you guys are great, still smiling. Love my vitamix, would not ever buy anything but a vitamix. Keep posting your videos, I really look forward to them.
This was amazing. I got my vitamix about a year ago. Love it
Love my Vitamix! I got one years ago because I was tired of chewing pieces that didn’t blend well into the smoothies. Great video 😄
Love you guys, this was a fun video.
This is a very helpful video! Thank you
I loved this video!! You two are the cutest thing!!!
I love my vitamix. I've had it for 4 years now. I also have a smoothie option, soup or for frozen and a self cleaning. And a few other option I never use. But it's awesome. 😃
The music and narration is KEY 🔑
We've had a Vitamix for about 12 years and when pitted against my son's Blentec with a frozen strawberry "chunk" with oranges and honey, the Blentec froze and shut down! The Vitamix blended a perfect slushy drink. I'm Vitamix all the way!
Yay team VITAMIX! 🌱
Vitamix 👍
I’ve been beating on my Vitamix daily for 6 or 7 years and it still runs like new. What a beast of a machine. If it ever breaks I’ll buy another one right away. Cool blender contest haha. Cheers.
I haven't even finished watching...already died at the infomercial part. 👍
Love you guys! You're so funny together. Love your videos too I'm addicted to them.
This was fun and awesome.....you go guys!
A great alternative for newcomers to Vitamix is buying a refurbished machine with full warranty from Vitamix directly. Available in both Canada and the U.S. with much lower pricing.
I love watching you two together! Someday I dream of getting a vitamix, but first it's an instant pot!
Awesome content❤ fun and relatable
The lid was not on the blendtec properly! I have two and neither will do this if you SECURE the lid!
Very fun video guys! 😁 Love it!
And of course I love my Vitamix
You guys had good energy ima start making more smoothies so I can carry those same vibrations 😋🤪
I own a Blendtec for 5 years now and i have a gym so i use it all the time, everyday. Not even once did it jam and did something like you did in the second test. by doing so, you just did a bad advertizing for a blender that is, to me, one of the best thing i have ever purchase in my whole life, and i am not even kidding about it. the only thing i can add to that is that, i plan to always have a Blendtec on my kitchen counter for the rest of my life. period.
👀👀😂 Sebastien be selling in the COMMENTS 🤭
@@Trees_Bees_Onesies indeed ;)
That was fun. I have a Vitamix, thank God!
Years ago when I was buying a blender I bought the Blendtec. After using it for a while it became clear it had many limitations. Yes you can make but butter but it take a long time and a lot of starting, stopping and scraping the sides etc. pesto is about the limit of the Blendtec and things like the same nicecream forget about it unless you like spending time stuffing around. Anything that is solid or sticky isn’t for the Blendtec. If or should I say when I buy a new blender, it will be a Vitamix.
The voiceover is hilarious 😂 but my goodness I gotta save up to get one 😩lol
Awesome infomercial. I have a normal 90€ blender. It can't mix everything (like raw brownie dough) but i am quite happy with it for the last 6+ years, also it has a glass jar which i prefer. But i think the next time when i move countries again, i will get a vitamix
you guys are the best!
this was hilarious it made me laugh so hard. well done.
Great video as always Derek! I love my Vitamix. Might have to give the lemon water a try... haha
I have also had a Blendtec for over 15 years with the sound deadening cover, still works great and turns red hard wheat into to flour of different sizes and can separate the bran or grind it into the flour.
Love watching you guys giggle and have a blast together... 👊🏻😎👍🏻💕💕💕💕💕
Lol! The intro.. I love you two :)
Vitamix, the maker of high-end blenders, was founded in 1921, which means years of trial and error, years of experience, and in my opinion, they are the best ba far!
Go Crystal 🙌🏻
I’ve had my blendtec for about 7 years and I love it! I do make my nice cream in a food processor though.
My Vitamix has literally changed my life 💜
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Instantly liked the video!
I bought myself a Vitamix for my 65th birthday and have used it everyday, pretty much for 4 years and it’s just awesome. The only complaint, is that the bowl is getting a little cloudy. But it gets a lot of use for both blending (and cleaning) and it still runs beautifully.
I love my $39 Oster blender that holds 6 cups and has a heavy glass jar. A tamper is available for about $10. I've never tried to pulverize raw kale, but I have used it to pulverize dried chili peppers to make Mexican chile roja. Parts are available on Amazon. Since it is only $39, I can use the rest of the money for a two-week camping trip on the beach in California!
On any blender discussion out there, there is always at least one clown who jumps out with his $40 blender and bangs how it does everything he wants it to do, except maybe 10 other things he never does... because he can't.
@@vitaminb4869 Nonsense. I'm quite happy with the one I own. Honestly, I think the expensive blenders are a rip off and I understand your pride in conspicuous consumption. But you must be hallucinating to think your blender does so much that my $39 one can't.
@@allencrider how can people talk so confidently about things they obviously have zero experience with?
@@vitaminb4869 You're trying, but failing.
@@allencrider lol. I used to think the same thing but the high powered blenders are a great investment if you do a lot of food prep or if you regularly consume veggie smoothies. Much higher caliber-no question. I borrowed one before spending the $ to be absolutely sure it was worth it. No way I could go back to the cheap quality blenders ever again.
I love when Crystal makes an appearance in the videos!!
