Although the container is shorter than the standard Vitamix version, it has a slightly larger capacity &#8212; 88 ounces or nearly 3 quarts. This was a big selling point for me, since with twelve children, I tend to make big batches of everything I serve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What the Blendtec demonstrator failed to mention, however, is the fact I would need to use less than half the total capacity if I wanted the blender to work properly. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whenever my kids or I overfilled our Vitamix, it meant having to use a little more tamper action to get everything to blend. When we overfill the Blendtec, food sprays out from the four corners of the lid and gets all over my cabinets and countertops. Ugh!<\/p>\n<p>So, although there are lots of things I like about my new Blendtec, there are also lots of things I miss about my old Vitamix.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Vitamix-vs-Blendtec-Comparison-Chart-e1410757524799.png?resize=500%2C680&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Trying to decide whether to invest in a Blendtec or a Vitamix?

So what if the thing was too tall to fit under my counter? The fact I had to store the container <em>next to the base<\/em> instead of on top of it was not nearly the hassle of having to make multiple, multiple batches of every smoothie I serve or clean up the mess that happens when I try to process too much at once.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I don&#8217;t know how long the Blendtec will hold up. <strong>Both machines come with a 7-year warranty<\/strong>, but my Vitamix had a 21-year track record of faithful service with no signs of quitting. It will take two more decades for my new Blendtec to prove that sort of dependability.<\/p>\n<p>So which is right for you?<\/p>\n<p>Both are great machines. Both do a great job, not just on smoothies, but on a wide variety of dishes. The price is very comparable. So it really boils down to the size crowd you&#8217;re feeding, the sensitivity of your ears, whether you want adjustable dials or one-touch digital programing, how important it is to you that your blender fit under your kitchen cabinets, and whether you prefer your ice crushed or powdered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think?
