I borrowed a Blendtec from a friend to see if it was worth the price.

When compared to my Oster, I could absolutely tell the difference between the end results. The Blendtec was smoother.

It also had enough power to create a hot soup out of raw ingredients just by blending them at hyperspeed. Nifty feature.

Worth ten times more than my blender? Heck if I know. I didn't go out and buy one afterward.
