Community PageHello, I see that this thread is old, but I also noticed that a Google search on Vita-Mix vs. Blendtec brings up this page at the top! Therefore, I wanted to add a piece of information that is missing for people who are trying to make the decision between the two blenders.
The highest RPMs for Blendtec is 27,000 and the highest RPMs for the Vita-Mix is 37,000. There are 4 spinning blades in the Vita-Mix (hitting more surface area) and only two in the Blendtec. Yes, the food is more difficult to get out of the VM, but because of the greater surface area spinning at a greater speed, more cell walls are ruptured releasing more nutrients. Also, the temperature of the soup made in a VM is much, much hotter than what is made in a Blendtec (again, because of the higher RPMs).
I have free recipes on my website and instructions about how to make juice in the Vita-Mix keeping it very cold while at the same time getting it very smooth: http://www.VitaMixLady.com
Hope this is helpful information!
Blessings,
Lea Ann Savage
