Blendtec - Smoothies Galore!


When Jonathan and I got married (16 yrs ago), his parents gave us a mixer/wheat grinder from Kitchen Mill. Well, after 16 yrs, our wheat grinder stopped working. Jonathan thought it was not the motor but some other teeth like part. We called the company and asked them about it because we thought that part had a lifetime warranty. They told us to send it back and they would look at it. Worst case scenario was that they would refurbish it for $100 -- so we sent it back and about 3 weeks later they mailed us back a brand new wheat grinder for free. How's that for customer service?!!! It was then that we learned the products are no longer Kitchen Mill but Blendtec, as that is what is advertised on our new wheat grinder.

Being so impressed with the company, we started looking at their other products and saw a blender we really liked. We decided we were going to get this for our birthdays in October, but since Jonathan will be gone long before then (and we got a killer deal on Ebay), we ordered one. It is so fun I can hardly believe it. Jonathan has been making us smoothies (you can put an apple in whole -- they say don't even remove the seeds because that is where the protein comes from), Wendy's frosties (yum!) and Jonathan even made a loaf of bread starting with the wheat kernels themselves. It crushes ice like nothing I've ever seen. The funnest part is you don't have to guess on anything because the machine automatically shuts off when it is done. I have had a T-Fal blender for years that I do not like and it is just pathetic compared to this amazing blender. I think there is nothing it cannot do! All I can say is "WOW!"

Those blenders are AMAZING...if you get board go to youtube and search 'Will it blend'...this guy blends all kinds of things in his Blendtech...golf balls...rakes...pens, etc
It is actually the compant itself that puts out the videos...they blended an iPod once and then put it up on ebay and it sold for over $100!!

We have one of those, too. We got it for our wedding from the folks. We had to replace the blender cup because it got cracked, but yeah, those things rock. Hey thanks for the info on OCD and the organization. I would've never known where to find the specialty to study. I really do think I will look into it when i am working on the Bachelor's degree. It would be great to be able to help people who are in need! You will be my source of inspiration and information! You are very well read about a lot of it. Thanks for the encouragement.
