Blendtec and Vitamix blender models
Whether you’re looking to whip up the perfect soup, frozen dessert, the right sauce or a morning smoothie, choosing the right blender can be tricky, especially if you only kind of know what you need and are looking for a high-end kitchen tool on a non-retail budget. The difference between a typical blender and one that’s high-powered is surprising; textures are much smoother and more well blended thanks to higher quality blender design. The blade construction and pre-programmed settings that stop automatically ensure a perfect consistency to every recipe, whether it’s chunky salsa, a silky smooth creamy soup or a well blended green juice or smoothie.
Both Vitamix and Blendtec blenders are known for their commercial quality blenders, and both companies offer pre-owned fully refurbished appliances for purchase at a lower cost for the consumer. These blenders are high durability and high quality and can last for a life time. They are available for home use as well as for commercial use. They can get very expensive but we will show you popular blender models which you can afford.
Certified Refurbished Blender Models
Any part of the appliance that might have been worn out has been replaced and certified under inspection to work to newly made standards.Both companies offer significant warranties; Blendtec sends pre-owned blenders out with a 3-year warranty, while Vitamix offers a 5-year warranty and 30 days for a trial period. (These terms are much better than most lower end appliances, which tend to last a year or so and break). So, now that you know that you can get the best for less, all that’s left is to scour through tons of blender models and compare features, lol. Don’t worry though, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few blenders that might work for you and your blending budget.
