Anatomy of a Blender, Part 3

Blendtec anatomy of a blender part 3
As with so many things in life, it's the little things that make a difference. And if our blenders are any indication, all those little things can add up to a modern masterpiece of innovation. Let's look at a couple more components of our Anatomy of a Blender series.

Feature #4: Talk to Me

Blender display The display on a Blendtec indicates blend cycle time remaining and number of cycles completed. Blendtec blenders feature a digital display that tells you just how long to wait until your blend is done. It also keeps track of your usage. It's surprisingly fun to watch your number of blend cycles go up. When you reach 1,000 cycles, celebrate by making a smoothie you've never tried before.

   

Feature #5: Easy to Clean, Easy to Love

Cleaning a Blendtec jar Few things are simpler than cleaning a Blendtec jar.[/caption] If you’ve ever used a standard blender jar, you know it can be a pain to clean – especially around the grooves and under the blade. Blendtec’s flat-sided jars aren’t just superstars at blending. They’re also super easy to clean! The flat sides make it simple to scrape out remaining ingredients, and the broad single-blade design allows you to get underneath the blade for any remaining particles. No disassembly required—plus, Blendtec jars are dishwasher safe. Have you discovered anything particularly awesome about your Blendtec blender recently?

    how many minutes does it take to blend spinath & kale ?

    The WildSide jar can blend single-serve sizes quite well, but it really shines blending larger amounts. For smaller blends we recommend using the FourSide jar. The Twister jar is also great for smaller blends.

    As for the drive-train between the motor and the blade, it’s all metal-to-metal. Other blenders use a plastic coupling designed to break in the event of overload or obstruction. Blendtec blenders use an electronic sensor that will shut off the motor in an overload event, which means greater power transfer and no parts to replace.

    Thanks for the great questions!

    Can you use the Wildside jar for small amounts of food that would normally be blended in a smaller jar?

    Also, are all of your blenders using metal to metal contact between the blade and the motor? Or are there plastic, less durable pieces, used in the drivetrain?

    Can you use the wild side jar in place of the 4 side
