Blendtec vs Vitamix Blender Models

If you’re on a budget, but are looking for a top of the line blender, refurbished blenders might just be the right choice for you. Luckily, Blendtec and Vitamix both make it easy to purchase pre-owned models. These options mean significant savings for the savvy consumer! The two companies offer Certified refurbished blenders, which have passed inspections to verify that they meet the high standards. Any worn or broken piece will have been replaced, resulting in “refurbished” option that looks amazingly brand new. In fact, Blendtec ships its refurbished blenders sealed in a box with the Blendtec Recipe Book and DVD, just like a full price purchase!

If the pre-used aspect has you concerned, Blendtec and Vitamix are ready to ease any fears with their warranties for refurbished blenders. A pre-owned Blendtec product comes with a full 7-year warranty, just like a new purchase. Vitamix, too, offers a sizeable 5-year warranty, in addition to its traditional 30-day trial period for your new blender.

With all the peace of mind Blendtec and Vitamix give their users, only one question remains: what refurbished blenders are the best? We divide our picks into the two obvious categories: Blendtec** and Vitamix.

**Note: Blendtec is only currently offering its refurbished lines for purchase in the USA and Canada.

Refurbished Blendtec Total Blender Classic

$259-$279

Though the Total Blender Classic has always been a popular choice, previously its refurbished model was still more than a brand new Blendtec of a different model. Luckily, those days are over! Thanks to Blendtec’s revamp of their blender reconditioning program, you can be the owner of a top quality, refurbished Blendtec Total Blender Classic, including its Wildside Jar, for only $279.

If you want to save some extra money, you can get the blender with a Fourside Jar instead at just $259. Even the cheapest model of the Total Blender Classic is more expensive than this, at about $299 for the Classic 570, and this older model has far fewer features than the refurbished models.
To sweeten the deal, you can even purchase a Blendtec Total Blender Classic on a payment plan.

Refurbished Blendtec Designer Series

$379

Blendtec also offers a refurbished option for its incredible Designer Series. You can have this sleek blender, featuring the same 1560 watt, 13 amp 3 peak horsepower motor as the Total Blender Classic, plus the newly designed touchscreen, for just $379.

In Conclusion,

Refurbished blenders are definitely the smartest way to save money on a blender. While a cheaper line of blenders may seem like the better choice, in the end these will just cost you more. A cheap blender breaks down much faster than a Vitamix or Blendtec, which can last far beyond the 5-10 years guaranteed by their warranties.

With a cheap blender, you will end up just having to buy a new one. A refurbished blender, too, has already survived smoothie battles, and been polished up by the manufacturers to perfection. Refurbished blenders are made to last. All that’s left for you is to choose which model fits your needs best.
