Review Text: A Solid and Powerful Blender. Surely the biggest selling point for the Blendtec Classic 575 blender is the 3 HP (peak) motor (1560 watt). It is quite loud but it delivers power to its contents like no blender I have ever owned. The blender rests on friction pads that looked a little small to me but it never budges during operation so I'm OK with that. The four-sided blending vessel is large enough to be able to reach in with a spatula to coax-out even the thickest ingredients. Operation is simple and intuitive - there are 11 buttons: pulse, five predetermined speeds, smoothie mode, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, stop, and cleaning mode (this is definitely not a dishwasher-friendly blender). The vessel fits the base very well and the lid fits snugly on top. There is an insert in the lid that can be removed to add ingredients while the blender is operating - I like that the insert has air ports on four sides (see photo) to insure that, for example, blending a hot soup doesn't build-up pressure and blow the whole lid off the container. This is genuinely a restaurant-quality blender - it is even NSF certified (see photo). Surely people who could benefit from a blender like this won't be interested in the recipe book and that's good because the recipe book that came with it is an embarrassment. There's no doubt that Blendtec is competing with Vitamix products - both have great selling points and I'm sure that any differences you might notice will be about style and not substance. This is a rock-solid blender!
