Blendtec Professional 800 - Blender - black

We have been using Blendtec for many years and have gifted these incredible products to the whole family on many Xmas. No blender out there comes close! Our health depends on the smoothies that we concoct on them daily…nuts, seeds, frozen fruits, vegetables and powders, Blendtec turns all these ingredients into powerful nutrition. I am 80 years old and in great health and shape!

I bought this to replace a Blendtec 675. That blender was already more than I needed. It was a monster that blew through any task I threw at it with ease. Only two things about the 675 bothered me; 1. I worried the top would pop off and ingredients would fly everywhere. This never actually happened in a couple years of use but had the potential to occur. I had the Wildside jar with the old lid. The new lid seals much better. 2. My old 675 was loud on full blast. I felt like I was disturbing my wife and daughter while making my 5:30 am smoothie. They slept through it but it was loud. This blender is mighty and powerful. It purees, blends, mixes, and makes nut butters even faster than my 675. My 500 dollar food processor makes almond butter in 7 minutes. My old 685 made almond butter in exactly 53 seconds. My new Pro 800 makes almond butter in 27 seconds. That's a big percentage difference but I may be splitting hairs here. Where this blender shines is it's low noise level. Man it's quiet! I don't close all the doors and windows to be courteous to my neighbors anymore, and I live in an unattached house. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so we don't have a lot of space between the places. But this blender is so quiet that someone reading or listening to music in the other room isn't disturbed. The cage holds the top on tight. It's not going anywhere. It's nice to have the confidence to let the blender go unattended without a worry. I'm quite happy with this purchase.
