Or in this case, some are better and others are worse. When it comes to blending your own smoothies, it's wise to investigate the many types of blenders available for doing so. While they all will do the basic work of making your favorite smoothie drink, they all have specific features unique to their model type. Whether it's for healthy eating or for your weight loss regimen mixing smoothies and concocting your own smoothie recipes requires a dependable blender.
Some blenders will mix fruits and vegetables in mixed vitamins through their high-speed rotations and cutting power. Others won't even crush ice or melt almonds into butter. Speed matters, just as much as size matters. The sustainable power associated to speed relates to longevity.
The following is a comparison of five types of blenders, their capabilities, price, and main characteristics:
Blendtec HP3 Tabletop Blender: Blendtec is a K-Tec production of Orem, Utah. The 3 Horse Powers Blender with over 30,000 RPM's (from the will-it-blend website) says it all. The company claims it blends it all, from golf clubs, golf balls, diamonds, charcoal, chairs, clothes, to vegetables, fruits, wheat and grains. The price with the one-does-it-all container and blade-blender is $ 400 plus shipping. Blendtec does not charge sales tax out of the State of Utah.
The one container that mixes its vitamins from fruit, vegetables, and solids such as grain and rice, comes in a 64-ounce size. The blender with container in place fits under most cabinets on top of the counter top, thus the name 'Tabletop Blender'. The motor is multi-speed with automatic-variable speed adjustment with pre-programmed speeds and intervals. This should according to the Blendtec help mixing all without the use of a tamper. Highly sophisticated with electronic components, this power house competes rapidly with other Vitamin Mixing Blenders.
Vita-Mix 5200 Blender: This product sells in the $450 to $600 range depending on your choice of wet or dry blade container. Or you can buy both, the wet container for fruits and vegetables, and the dry container with blade specifically designed to blend and grind wheat. The features of this product line are their 64-inch polycarbonate jars and two-peak horsepower Swedish motors. It's a completely see-through unit, which lets you see the blending process as it happens. The motor contains a high-efficiency radial cooling fan.

This unit is suitable for making juice, soup, making ice cream and grinding different grain products. The speed is manually adjustable with turn-knob, able to run the blade from 11 to 240 miles per hour.
While Blendtec with the HP3 offers 4 colors with no additional charge, Vita-Mix give a 3rd choice, color Red for an additional $ 20. Another difference between the two top giants, the HP3 motor is slightly more quite and one blender jar is good for wet and dry blending. Vita Mix offers 2 different containers to blend wet and dry.
