Review on Blendtec Total Blender Classic WildSide by Tabitha Williams

I'm not impressed. Even loaded according to directions (liquid, smooth and heavy) it doesn't mess things up as advertised, it just takes forever to make a simple smoothie, multiple stops and endless manipulations that a fancy canister aims to reduce. You have to add too much liquid to mix and it takes so long for the smoothies to be too "thin" and no longer frozen. I think if you don't use frozen fruit they might mix better, but when it comes to beating the target, for goodness sake, you can mix fresh fruit. Sounds like a jet engine, thundering too, too loud to use with my husband in the mornings. sleeping after the shift. It doesn't matter because the 10 Year Old Magic Bullet is a lot more time efficient, it blends better, faster with less liquid, making for a nice thick COLD smoothie that stays cold and thick throughout your rides. working day. Attempts to make sauces in a smaller, screw-top container have also been less than impressive. The chickpeas stayed whole while the hummus was made (which btw turned out to be hot because it took so long to mix), the peanut butter stayed lumpy, not included, really just a lower performance compared to the cost of the machine. Pretty disappointed. However, it was an excellent frozen margarita, which of course was only needed to mix the ice cream. Save yourself the frustration and spend more on Vitamix or less on Ninja.
