which is better: blendtec 570 versus vitamix 5300?

I cannot specifically answer... I purchased the 5200, and it is an amazing machine. I did months and months of homework before purchasing... Most consumer reviews put Vitamix on top... Consumer Reports put Vitamix on top... So then weeding through the many different Vitamix models... The 5200 kept popping up... THE top lender on CR... Smoothie King uses the 5200... And the narrower base really prevents build up like you get on the wider base models that are similar to BlendTec. I trust CR, and the many consumer reviews back it up. You won't go wrong with the 5200.

I have the Vitamix 5200. I wouldn't buy anything else. It is the absolute best on the market. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 5200 and the 5300. I recommend you research that carefully and fully as I did prior to purchasing the 5200.

Not lose but save in energy bills and cost difference in buying the machine. The Artisan does everything the 575 watts do. The Professional 600 series is just larger in mixing size, 6 quarts vs. 5 quarts. Plus the doughhook is different. It was hard choice for me but in the end, the tilt head was what made the difference for me. I do not think you will go wrong with Artisan, but in the end it is up to you.

I think the vitamix750 odds wonderful and would do a great job. The Nutrimill would also work very well. We do sell several mills and blenders.

The components of the blender are essentially the same, the only difference is the exterior (brushed Stainless) and the recipe book has gourmet recipes endorsed by the CIA ( Culinary Institute of America ). I recently upgraded my kitchen with granite And opted to spend a little more $$$. My brother has the black 5200 and the blenders perform the same.

Don't bother. There is a problem with those units. I would recommend getting a vitamix unit, which is what we have now.

I have a Vitamix and a Nutri-Bullet, The Nutri-Bullet smoothies are almost as smooth as the ones from the Vitamix.However the vita mix will do a lot more, like make soup, blend dough for pizza and a list of other things the Nutri-Bullet won't do. But the Vitamix is alot more expensive than the Nutri-Bullet, so if what you want to do is make smothies go with the bullet, if you want to do other things then the Vitamix is a good investment. FYI, Qvc.com has the Vitamix on easy payments.

This blender would be comparable to the Vitamix Performance Blender line. Any blender that boasts 12 amps or 2 horse power worth of sustained energy is going to be an incredibly powerful machine. I think you would be satisfied with either really. The Oster is a better price than the performance line of Vitamix so that it a bonus with this product. I have owned this product now for a month and am constantly amazed at how much I make use of it.

I've never owned a Vitamix. I chose the BlendTec on the recommendation of friends who had a Vitamix first and then a BLendTec and prefer the BlendTec. The reasons they gave me were that the BlendTec does not need the food to be "pushed" like the Vitamix and they found it easier to get mixtures out and to clean up. They also recommended getting the BlendTec Wild Side jar, which I did and it's great!

The Vitamix 6300 makes great smoothies and shakes but it does not Juice. It is not a juicer.

The 800BLXL is in no way comparable to any VitaMix because this Breville only has two pre-set speeds. That's the major drawback to this model. The Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender, on the other hand, has five speeds, so that model stands a chance of doing some of the things that a VM can do. The 605 is also the model that Cooks Illustrated chose as a best buy a while back.

The voltage isn't the point. This is a terrible blender. We used one at my mother-in-law's house and it finally broke after very little use. It is junk in comparison with the Vitamix. I would definitely go with the Vitamin instead. You might also try a new company called Cleanblend...supposed to be similar to Vitamix.

Yes - mine did. best blender ever made in my opinion and beats the Blendtec and Vitamix hands down because the "wave" action on the Tempest really DOES work and in 12 seconds, my smoothie using huge frozen strawberries is smooth, unlike the others we tried.

Yes! This is an amazing blender - better than VitaMix and BlendTec. Good videos to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv_dcmny20Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh6H4axK5sM

Here's a nice comparison for those thinking about getting this or a Vitamix. I found it useful.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI0PEviX0qg

The vitamix we have is Super 5000 Model VM0103 not BMO103. And it worked for us.

I had an Oster blender that lasted a few years (only 2 because it was dropped and broken) but it made smoothies like a dream. Also, blended up flax seeds/dry rice/oats/etc. to make various flours within a minute. I got a Ninja Professional BL500 and was sorely disappointed as, like the other reviewer said, the smoothies were chunky and gross. Also, with the 6-blade thing its hard to fit anything in it to blend! My husband is currently returning it and I am looking for another lower-than-Blendtec or VitaMix-priced blender. Tempted to try Kitchenaid or Oster this time...hmm...

Yes, both are the next generation motor paired with the wider container. Both are without the presets that show up on the Pro 750. More than you'd ever care to know about the various models is here: http://joyofblending.com/which-vitamix-to-buy/ http://blenderdude.com/articles/vitamix-models/ (I sifted through these myself when trying to pick which model to buy)
