Of course, this surface information is not going to be enough to sway your opinion one way or the other. The manufacturers say that this is simply a sign that the motor is being a little bit excessively worked, but it still is not so good to see in a blender of this price range. We also found that the blender emits a strange burning or metallic smell when used for long periods. The Vitamix 750 features stainless steel, all-metal housing, an incredible 2.2 horsepower motor, aircraft grade, stainless steel blades, variable speed settings, and innovative housing for the motor that is designed to keep it from overheating.īut there are also cons.

With the features that this blender has to play with, your gut might tell you that it is indeed well worth the money. This blender is going to cost a pretty penny, but today’s goal is to see if it is worth the expense.
VITAMIX BLENDER 750 PROFESSIONAL
Professional quality performance does not come cheap, a rule that unfortunately extends to the Vitamix 750. They also have a reputation for really tipping the scales when it comes to price. This unit is certainly no departure from that tradition, but unfortunately, quality is not all that Vitamix is known for. They have a longstanding reputation for making professional quality blenders that are rich in power and features. If you are familiar with Vitamix as a company, this probably will not be much of a surprise to you. For more on how the Blendtec stacks up against the Vitamix 5200, read our article about testing the two blenders head-to-head.The Vitamix 750 is a true powerhouse of a blender. But we think a blender that’s this expensive should perform well at more than just those two tasks. It’s a great blender if you want something that looks slick on your counter and can make amazingly smooth mixed drinks and smoothies. We do think this particular model is quite beautiful, with a sleek black, illuminated base. It failed to make peanut butter (a tamper would have helped), and the preset speed for soup was frightening, with hot liquid flying wildly around the jar.

Although in our tests the Designer 675 killed it in making smoothies and blended drinks, its lack of a tamper limits its usefulness. Despite Blendtec’s clever (if at times mildly sinister) video marketing campaign of blending everything from rake handles to iPhones, we’ve found its blenders wanting (we also tested the Total model in 2012). Will the Blendtec Designer 675 blend? Yes, but not as well as our top picks. You can’t expect that level of performance from dirt-cheap blenders, which is probably why most of them come with only one-year limited warranties. Vitamix, Oster, and Cleanblend models all come with warranties of five to seven years, and-at least for Vitamix machines-we’ve read plenty of owner reviews saying the blender lasts much longer. It’s a lot of stress to put on a little machine.” This is why a long warranty is important, especially if you’re paying a lot for a blender. If you make it do something difficult every day, a lot of them burn out. As Lisa McManus, executive editor in charge of equipment testing at Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines, told our writer Seamus Bellamy in an interview for our 2012 guide, “Blenders have a really hard job to do in that little space.

But it’s not impossible for even higher-end blenders to encounter burnout.
VITAMIX BLENDER 750 CRACK
The most common complaint we’ve found about cheap blenders is that their motors burn out easily and their jars crack or leak.
