VitaMix or K - tec BLender

Hello all,

Can anyone advise me on which is the best blender to buy ?. The only blender I know that anyone uses is the vita-mix, then someone suggested the K-tec and I,m really finding it hard to compare. I would love to hear from anyone who has a K-tec blender and which model they have as there is also an express model. I am tempted to buy the Vitamix as most recipes/friends have one.

Love Mummybear

    Hi Mummybear. Great question! I have a lot of info on that on this page as well as a link to Mike Adam's article doing a comparison of the two here:

    i used work juice bar and used both k-tec(3hp) and vita mix(2hp).

    k-tec does great job but if you are putting a lot of greens, i think you do need a tamper, or put small amount of greens at a time.

    k-tec fits better in a small space but when you are going to make a lot of smoothie or soup you'll be happy to have a vita mix(i think), even you are making only....lets say 20oz, i feel i need keep watching k-tec to make sure there's no spilt.

    like every one said, i like both blender actually(wish i can have both).

    oh just small things but for the vita mix, get one has a speed nob, when i use vita mix turbo blend, thats the things i don't like about them.

    i never used waring pro, i wanna try them out someday...

    i forgot to mention that:

    k-tec makes everything super smooth, thats what i love about it.

    vita mix can do it when you run them little longer, but maybe k-tec does make more smooth, creamy texture i think, i love to make soup with k-tec.

    but k-tec makes more noise and i need scrape out food from lid.

    if i can own both of them, i will use vita mix for everyday use like smoothie and k-tec for special use like soup, to make cream(easy to get food out with spatula)....

    I bought a bright red Blend Tec and I love it! My friend has a Vita Mix and I like mine better. To each his own, but I liked the shape of the container, the shorter height, and the programmable buttons.

    It does make awesome nut creams. I made sour cream tonight and it's as smooth as the real thing!

    I am new to this but it sounds like from what I read I don't need a vitamix or a blendtec if all I want it for is raw fruit and vegtable smoothies. Can someone please tell me what direction I should go if I only want to make smoothes with raw ingredients. Maybe there is not an inexpensive blender that does this well? Please advise.
