I’m glad you’ve expanded from tools to kitchen tools. Nobody does tests like you do, including big companies like consumer reports.

A big benefit of the Vita-Mix that you don't mention is that it is fully rebuildable. I run a restaurant and we have all Vita-Mix blenders in the kitchen and bar, and the rebuild kits are relatively cheap and replace all wear parts off the motor. You can run these things all day for years and when the clutches start slipping or the teeth on the drive gear get worn, it takes about 5 minutes to replace them and you're back up and running for another year or two. The motor is also pretty much indestructible, so these things are basically immortal. Makes the price a little bit easier to swallow.

I love how quick you go from test to test, blender to blender, not wasting anybody’s time and just getting straight to the point.

This one hits close to home. My son was on a blenderized diet for most of his life. After chewing through a number of different food processors and blenders, we finally pulled the trigger on the Vitamix. We picked it up as a factory reconditioned model from a kitchen store at an outlet mall. Full warranty and it only set us back about $250. It looked and operated like brand new.
We used this blender for over 13 years and it withstood a lot of use. The power switch failed on us once. Still within the 10 year warranty time period (yes, 10 years), they asked us to send the whole unit with upper jar/lid and everything. We explained what we used the blender for, they had a replacement sent for us a few days later to use as a loaner while they fixed ours.
A week and a half later we received our old blender back. it returned to us with the power switch assembly replaced as well as a whole new upper jar (which included a new blade, lid, and tamper). I am assuming that if there were any other internals that needed replacing, they probably did that too. As to this day, it is still running strong.

SO, say what you will about the expensive price tag. If you want a blender to withstand the test of time AND be backed by an excellent company with a warranty that beats them all, then Vitamix is the only way to go.

At the beginning I couldn't really think of how you'd measure how good a blender is at blending. Your tests are always so well thought out.

As a home gardener with a quasi-chef hobby, I decided to splurge on a Vitamix earlier this year. It's a beast for sure. I freeze whole garden tomatoes and can throw them into the blender, frozen, with some spices and other vegetables and create a too-hot-to-eat tomato soup totally by friction in about six minutes. From frozen! Smoothies are great. Blackberry seeds, which I despise, disappear. I have the A3500 model. This is an amazing blender; I have not needed to use the plunger and I have used this machine a lot. One thing you did not cover was the warranty. Vitamix has a full 10 year warranty including the jar and lid. They also pay shipping both directions for warranty repairs as they doubt you will ever need it. I believe they state less than 2% have had an issue. I ordered mine on sale from Macys plus received a $100 credit for opening a cc account so my cost was substantially lower than list, but it is still expensive. First time I have commented. Really enjoy your videos.

I have only had 2 Vitamix since 1976 and I could have rebuilt the 1st one but they had made so many improvements in the 20+ years that I elected to buy a new one. Now the 2nd one is over 20 years old and it's still going! :) And I think Project Farm is the Vitamix of of equipment testing! Thank You!

[GalactusOG]

The amount of work you put into these videos is valuable. Thank you.

[MNMNEY]

This is fantastic! I’ve gone through many blenders in my time. Everything is plastic and not made with quality. So far the best blender is still my Mom’s Oster blender from the 1970’s. It was thick, robust, and the blades were massive. Also, it has a glass container and still has that yellowing plastic color on the exterior housing. It has stood the test of time and still working to this day. Manufacturers have abandoned that kind of quality. Great work Project Farm!

[EbilGeneyus]

My wife and I are super glad you've started doing home appliances. We love your presentation, impartiality, and scientific rigor. Looking forward to when you do stand mixers, specifically Kitchenaid (hint, hint)...

Love your channel! Keep up the great work!

[earthling_parth]

I'm still impressed with Nutribullet doing almost the same as Vitamix while costing 1/6th. Thank you again for doing video on blenders. Please do more kitchen tools ❤️

[GarbageMan]

Thank you! A small token of appreciation to contribute to your expenses. One of the best channels on YT.

[rollotomasi]

I could have never imagined that watching appliances being tested could be so engaging and fun. Your no-filler information-packed presentation style is ideally suited to comparing so many brands. Kudos!
Please test countertop air fryer-type ovens also when you get a chance.

Thanks for that Todd. 10-ish years I did a similar test for my business and ended up with two Vitamix "Bar Boss" blenders @ $750 each (even though my business does not server alcohol) and two additional containers @ $250 each. What I discovered was having a larger, flatter canister bottom aided the blending action for making smoothies and frappes. My canisters are triangle shaped; I use chunk ice, milk, frappe mix and off we go for 1 minute. I have made tens of thousands of frappes and smoothies. I consider those blenders a corner stone of the business and one of my best purchases.

Great video once again. I went on eBay years ago and bought a used Vitamix 4000 Commercial unit in excellent condition with a heavy duty motor and stainless tank for about $150. It is now about 40 years old but looks, runs and performs like new. It was made in Cleveland, OH and is of high quality materials and workmanship. Glad to see the units are still American made and are top performers. Thank You.

[mayhit]

Absolutely fantastic comparison video! If all comparison videos out there were as informative and distilled as yours, I think we'd all have a much, much easier time researching our purchases! You have my gratitude! 🙏

[AroundTheHouseWithGB]

Great video! I’ve had a major competitor to the vitamix (Blendtec) for the better part of 10 years now and it’s still going strong. Would love to see Blendtec in a round two!

And food processors would be a great follow up to this!

[OliverXRed]

If you ever do blenders again, maybe do the Blendtec blender, since they have made themselves quite famous on YouTube with their Will it Blend series, where they try to blend non food items such as IPhones or bricks. It would be interesting to see how it stacks up to the other blenders.

[patrickcarew]

The channel adds so much value to its viewers. This is far far better than reviews from random people or corporate reviews from consumer reports. I've made more purchases based on your content than any other review source and it isn't close.

Thank you.
