Product Description
BlendTec Total Blender / KTEC Champ HP3 BLACK Features & SpecificationsThe BlendTec HP3-A Blender - BLACK The Total Blender HP3A by BlendTec is the same brand as you see in coffee and smoothie shops around the country! This is a blender that can simply handle anything you throw at it, just like the well known VitaMix which 877MyJuicer carries as well. However, this blender beats out the VitaMix in the sized motor, wattage and with its programmable blend cycles (25 pre-programmed) its pretty darn cool! It is quick, fast and efficient. The smooth look of an eitherblack orwhite base will fit any kitchen style. It also fits underneath the counter for easy storageWhile the cost on this blender is pretty high we feel that after you have used a regular blender, and then a BlendTec you areguaranteed to see the difference!This comes with an impressive recipe book which definitely adds part of the value to this unit.While the design seems simple, the functions are impressive:Make countless amounts of beverages!Make an amazing array of soups that actually steam!Make sauces and dips/sauces! Make baby foods/purees! Make dressings! Make desserts!

Very poor blender, in almost every way November 3, 2008
Jon S. White (Ohio, USA)

This blender is the worst blender I have ever tried, and I'm stuck with it because the seller doesn't take them back.
I will post videos of the miserable failure of this blender to mix anything but pampered preparations of ingredients, and by pampered I mean cut and manipulated so that this blender will grab them and mix them.
It is just horrible at blending fruits and vegetables, as the blade design leaves things just sitting there. Put an apple in one and just turn it on. It won't blend it a bit. Put apple quarters and a banana in and it won't blend it a bit. $100 blenders will, but this one won't most of the time.
Add to this three other problems, and you have a horrible product for the price. I'm not kidding. I wanted this to work, having paid so much.
Lid design is very poor. You can't take it off without disturbing the blender so much that it comes off the axle.
Startup is an out-of-control, gushing pulse that will send liquids out the top every time. So, if you blend some ingredients and want to then put other ingredients in while it is stirring, you will have to put the top on to get the thing going before you remove it again and add ingredients.
The shape of the blender vessel creates vortices which spill liquids out the top at even the lowest speeds. Adding ingredients to a mix will most of the time lead to spillage on your shirt, arms and countertop.
The 50-second timed shutoff is a nuisance. You might be adding ingredients to a blended mix and have to RESTART to finish, and restarting means dealing with the horrible startup pulse.
In general, this blender will not blend raw fruits and vegetables without you adding liquids that you might not want and stopping to push and minipulate the contents so that they blend.
This blender seems to be missing all the elements that a well-thought-out $400 product should offer. I use a $100 blender to do all the work I hoped this one would do.
