Coveted for its physical buttons that will work with wet fingers or disposable gloves, the Classic 575 still has its place in the modern kitchen. Unlike its brothers with a touch screen interface, the Classic 575 has tactile physical push buttons giving you quick control with audible feedback. Press the three horsepower motor blender’s buttons with wet fingers or gloved hands that will always be recognized with ease.

All Blendtec blenders have a cycle counter to keep track of how many smoothies, soups, desserts, and other foods you blend in your blender. Easily view this on the front of the blender to see how many times you’ve been pulverizing your foods with the three horsepower motor. That's about three to four times the normal power of an average budget blender. That powerful motor makes Blendtec's specially engineered jar push food up the sides and pull it back down to the blunt safety blade eliminating the need for a tamper and having to stop and start again. 

The four preprogrammed cycles are dead simple. No having to guess which button does what, just press smoothie for a smoothie, or the 60 second or 90 second button that that long of a blend or just use the five speed manual blend setting to blend that tomato sauce or smash up homemade peanut butter.

The Designer 725 is the smartest out of all Blendtec’s blender lineup. SmartBlend Technology is what sets this one apart from the rest of the family. According to Blendtec, the 725 can sense and identify potential problems that could interfere while blending. Say your smoothie is too thick and not blending, the SmartBlend Technology is smart enough to tell you to add liquid to correct the issue. The technology can also recognize loading errors, overheating, and air pockets; the LCD will then tell users how to fix the issue, no more guessing what went wrong with your blend.

The 725 also features their most powerful motor at 3.8 peak horsepower. That's one of the most powerful motors for the home market. This means no more frozen chunks in your smoothie, no ice rocks in your margarita, and finely ground whole wheat flour every time. 

My favorite feature is the fun messages the Designer 725 says to you when you power on the machine and after you blend your smoothie. It’s a fun little touch that makes this blender. This along with the SmartBlend Technology and 3.8HP motor make the 725 my top pick out of all the Blendtec models.

Blendtec’s most quiet blender with most powerful motor. The Professional 800 model’s most noticeable feature is it’s sleek sealed sound enclosure. It may not look like much, but the Stealth Technology the enclosure is engineered with makes this the most quiet full powered blender I’ve ever used. While blending, the noise is reduced down to where I can have a normal conversation with someone standing across from me. With the Professional 800, it’s industrial-strength power doesn’t require industrial-strength noise.

Speaking of power level, this blender’s is MAXIMUM. Blendtec stuck a 3.8 peak horsepower motor inside making this the absolute most powerful motor you will find in a blender anywhere. While the power level is maximum, the noise level is minimum which is something you can't find in many blenders.
