I was so excited to get this blender, but after trying this out I was greatly disappointed. I picked this blender because it seemed quite similar to the famous Vitamix and a few hundred dollars less.
Now I wish I had just spent the extra money and bought the Vitamix. Obviously I returned the BLENDTEC 570 CLASSIC and now awaiting my new Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender. (Review Coming Soon)
Another BLENTEC CLASSIC 570 con:
Didn’t even use the heat/hot option and it started to strip out the plastic bearings on the bottom of the container melting tiny little curly rings all over the place.
