As stated by the experts at primasupply.com, but there are a few different pros and cons of each. Let’s take a look at those. On the Vitamix it’s got a very easy-to-remove sound enclosure. It’s magnetic, so it just lifts right off and goes right back on. It also has a sound dampening pad to keep the noise level as low as possible. The buttons on this one are a little bit easier to operate than on the other one because it’s just very simple to hit. We really love the advanced jar from Vitamix. It’s very easy to pour and easy to add more ingredients in, if you so desire. Also, the Vitamix is slightly quieter than the Blendtec but by a mere few decibels.

Anyone who has used a crappy blender is familiar with this cycle: Blend for a few minutes, take the lid off to stir and scrape the sides, put the lid back on, blend some more, and so on until all ingredients have finally taken a turn in the blades and the mixture is, well, mixed. The only fool-proof way to avoid this is with a tamper, and the one that comes with Vitamix blenders makes every recipe go much smoother. Dense mixtures tend to form air pockets around a blender’s blades, so a tamper is usually needed push the food down and break those pockets up, keeping mixture engaged with the blades. That extra elbow grease also speeds up the blending process in general. (last revised 50 days ago by Eugene Schrader from Okayama, Japan) [4]
