monday I don't think you can go wrong with either. Blendtec are generally a little more low profile to fit under cabinets if that matters. I think the vitamix is a little more heavy duty and the warranty is great but truly both do the job (for us thats making kale shakes) really well. Don't bother with the ones with the fancy programs. On off high low is basically all you need.

A conversation on types of blender could only happen amongst North Americans, you dudes really care about your kitchen appliances

I've used both extensively. I have a Blendtec at home, and a Vitamix at work. I like the ease of use with the Blendtec. It never struggles, and gets the job done well. The Vitamix seems a bit wonky, has a plunger to move stuff around if it's not blending (Blendtec doesn't need this because the vortex it creates sucks everything up), and it's really loud.

I would get a Blendtec…..If just for this....

I've suffered with allergies for a couple of years now, but it was never narrowed down exactly what I was allergic to outside of possibly concentrated sources of peanut (peanut oil, peanut sauce), shellfish, or red food dye. Last night I eat all three and surprisingly ended up in hospital with anaphylaxis 

[hajduk]

My god, that's horrible, and what a way to confirm it; on all 3! Best of luck on a speedy recovery and getting to the bottom of it, so you can get back to the finer things :).

[seawolf]

Holy crap Gav! What did you eat?! Hope you're doing better!

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, outside of being super tired I'm ok now. I didn't get the swelling kind of anaphylaxis, I got the profuse sweating, heart rate pounding, think I'm having a heart attack kind…... pretty scary at the time, but in the words of Free....

[bagley920]

Glad you're ok dude

[Omega Man]

Mega, that is some scary sh-t.  Now you know.  Get well soon.
