The blender can be the star of your restaurant. If you want the smoothest smoothies, velvety sauces, and cold milk foams - you’re going to need a blender that can do the job! Blendtec Commercial is going to be your best option for all of these tasks and more. But why make an investment in a Blendtec when you could just go with an inexpensive blender from the box store? Why should I choose Blendtec over the competitors? Which model Blendtec blender do I go with? These are questions we'll help answer so you can feel confident in your blender choice.

Why Choose a Commercial Blender?

---

  

So why not just go to the member's club or box store and get a blender from them? You’ve seen the infomercials of these blenders supposedly destroying the competition. Here are just a few reasons why to avoid these blenders.

• Not Safe - For a commercial environment, many blenders you pick up at the store are not tested or certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). This means that non-NSF blenders (or any tool in the kitchen for that matter) can (and will) be called out by your health inspector. Non-NSF tools can harbor bacteria because they’re not designed to be thoroughly cleaned to health-inspections standards. 

• Not Durable - It is easy to come across cheaply made parts that were not created for a high-volume restaurant environment. You’ll be replacing your $200 model many times a year. Models like these are made of less-expensive brittle plastic that can easily break from commercial kitchen use, drops and falls. And we know you don't want bits of plastic in your customer’s food.

• Not Powerful - They don’t deliver restaurant-quality food. Box store blenders have small motors, poorly designed blending jars, and tiny blades that only deliver sub-par results. That can lead to wasted time, wasted product and worst of all chunky smoothies no one wants to drink. 

 

Why go with Blendtec for your commercial Blender?

 

• Safe - All of Blendtec's parts, from the blender base to the blender jar, are NSF certified and ready for commercial restaurant use. Their blender jars are made from ultra-durable material that is BPA-free, easy to clean, and keeps the health inspector happy.

• Durable - Blendtec Blenders are an investment that the company stands behind. Their blender jars are strong enough and can survive use and abuse in a commercial kitchen. Blendtec blenders come standard with a 1-year warranty with the blender jars, up to a 3-year warranty on their blender motor, and a lifetime warranty on the blender blade and drive socket. 

• Powerful - Blendtec is designed knowing you’re going to be blending night and day all year long. You won’t find cheap plastic or thin metal blades in a Blendtec. Their blender motors are the most powerful in the world, sporting up to a 3.8 peak HP motor. The blender blades are blunt rather than sharp. This actually pulverizes food and ice much finer than a sharp blade and will get you the smoothest blends for your customers.

 

Here’s why to choose Blendtec over other commercial blenders:

• Less maintenance - No wasting time or money routinely replacing drive sockets or blender blades like with Vitamix and the other competition. Have peace of mind with Blendtec's lifetime warranty on blender blades and drive socket. 

• Automation - Blendtec offers smart blenders. The competition (Vitamix) can require additional expensive hardware to program you blender with custom blend cycles. Blendtec comes with up to 42 pre-programmed blend cycles and you can add your own custom blend cycles with a simple USB drive. Custom blending cycles will let you tell the blender when to speed up, slow down and how long to run - helping you get the perfect blend for your recipes. Save time in your kitchen and make it easy for employees. Employees will only need minimal training to operate these useful smart blender settings.  

• No confusing jars - Blendtec Jars work with any Blendtec blender. It's as simple as that!
