Smart-Review Commentary: The Blendtec Designer Series blender has everything you will need in a high quality blender. Aside from the pre-programmed buttons, it has 6 manual speeds, and a pulse button. New for this model is a touch interface to easily change speeds, and choose pre-programmed programs. The blender cleans out easily, just add water and run the blender. Blendtec uses the highest quality parts, and has pre-programmed features with auto shutoff for Smoothies, whole juice, syrups, sauces, dips, and more.

This is one of the most powerful blenders on the market with 1,560 watts and a 3 HP motor. (Garbage disposal motors are only 1/3 to 1 HP).
