an 8 year warranty.

is a better product. Visit our blender comparison chart for more detailed
information. Click here.
Can I make hot soup in my blender?
Yes, if you are willing to run the blender for 3-4 minutes to allow the
friction inside the jar to create heat. Not the most efficient use of
energy. A better method is to add boiling water to the jar, blend, then
serve or blend.

blended?
Your blender has pre-programmed cycles that are timed. Select a higher
button for longer blend cycles.

Yes, the Blendtec Total Blender will grind seeds and nuts into powder.
You may want to add additional oil to the powder to get a buttery consistency.

ultimate grinding and milling machine. You can grind the hardest of whole
wheat into a fine flour in under 50 seconds. It will also grind to a cracked
flour consistency or stone ground flour consistency.
Can the Blendtec Total Blender make fruit juices?
Yes, the Blendtec Total Blender will make wonderful "whole"
juice containing all of the rich fiber of your fruit. If you use a fruit
with a low water content, then you may need to add an additional fruit
with a high water content or add additional liquid or ice to obtain the
proper consistency of drinkable juice. Use the Speed Key at level 5 or
6 when making "whole" fruit juice if you desire a very fine
and smooth texture to your "whole" juice.

AUTOMATIC CYCLE OPERATION (Excerpt from Instruction Manual)
Buttons 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the touch pad are pre-programmed cycles designed for easy-to-use recipes included in your recipe book. The cycles will start with the press of a button and will stop automatically when the cycle is complete. Button 5 is a speed key: This button is unique because it allows you to set the speed to your own desired setting. To set the speed, simply hold the 5 button down for a number of seconds. The Green LED display ill reflect the speed setting (1 through 10) on the left side. When you release the button, the motor will remain at the speed selected for 50 seconds unless you touch the button again to terminate the cycle.
Button 1: Blends soft items such as ice creams and shakes. It runs for 27 seconds at low speed. This setting is ideal for soft fruits such as grapes, peaches and oranges.
Button 2: Great granita and margarita cycle. Good for ice cubes, fruit syrups or concentrates. This is a short cycle at only 14 seconds varying between low and high speeds. Great for soft fruits.
Button 3: This is the most frequently used speed of all. This button provides a robust cycle for more difficult "smoothies" or frozen drinks of fruit and ice. The cycle runs 23 seconds. This cycle handles firmer fruits such as apples, pineapple with the core, watermelon with seeds, etc.
Button 4: This cycle is for frozen fruits and hard vegetables. This cycle fluctuates between lower and higher speeds to pull thicker materials into the blade. It is an excellent cycle for carrots, broccoli and hard materials such as whole wheat and rice.
Button 5: The speed key. This key is used when one wishes to control the cycle. In this mode, the motor will run as long as 50 seconds and at whatever speed you select up to speed 10 (28,000 RPM plus).
Button P: The Pulse button provides one with the ability to chop foods or make chunky salsa's by controlling the blade. The motor runs only while the "P" button is held down.
