The Blendtec Total Classic Original Blender was designed to create a powerful blending experience. It is another high-end blender that comes with a lot more useful options. You can certainly use it to create frozen desserts, ice lollies, fruit sorbets, and other delicious frozen treats at home.
If we look at its blades, it would appear that it was designed for crushing ice and other hard ingredients. It is actually 80% thicker as compared to the blades of other brands. It can crush through ice, frozen fruits, green veggies, nuts—practically whatever you put into it.
It offers a spacious blending container that is capable of accommodating 75 oz worth of ingredients. With this capacity, you can easily make smoothies for 4-6 people without breaking a sweat. This is especially convenient when you’re hosting parties since you don’t have to produce in batches anymore.
The lid also has an opening for adding ice, fruits, or any other ingredients without completely removing it or stopping the blending operation.
The blender also comes with a self-cleaning ability that makes cleanup a breeze. Just put in a couple of drops of dishwashing soap and a little bit of water and let it run for 1 minute. Rinse it off, and you’re done. Convenient, isn’t it?
Overall, it is still a pricey option. However, the 8-year warranty that goes along with it makes it worth the investment in the long run.
