The great debate of whether blendtec or vitamix is the better blender continues...
Blendtec™ vs. Vita-Mix™
| Blendtec™ | Vita-Mix™ | |
| power | 13 amp | 11.5 amp |
| jar size | 64 oz. | 64 oz. |
| tamper | not required | yes |
| weight | 11 lbs. | 10 lbs. 9 oz. |
| height | 15.5 inches with jar | 20.5 inches with jar |
| warranty | 3 years | 7 years |
| US price | $439.95 USD | $449 USD |
| CDN price | ships from US |
$579 CDN |
| CDN shipping | yes | $35 ground |
| extra charges | customs, GST/PST |
GST/PST |
| extra jars | new 4' blade, 96 oz. |
wet & dry in 32 oz. |
I personally use the blendtec, I love being able to put all my stuff in, push a button, and walk away. (not too far)
Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes-Monarch are convinced the new 4 inch blade jar is the best high speed blender out for raw foods. Faster blending equals less oxidation and less heating up!
I still have to order the new larger container and blade, so if anyone wants to buy me one for Christmas that would be nice. ;)
Buy the combo here. $490 (as of Dec 21, 2009)
Buy the new jar here. $99.00 (as of Dec 21, 2009) 
If you haven't got a high speed blender yet this is definately the way to go. I love my blendtec.
