Blendtec Cycle Conversions
What if my blender doesn't have the Batters cycle? I don't see a Whole Juice button on my Blendtec - what speed should I use? If you have found yourself asking these questions, you are not alone.
Our Fresh Blends Recipe Book and many of the recipes on our website were created specifically for the Total Blender Classic Series, which has 6 preprogrammed blend cycles, manual speed up & speed down controls, and a pulse button. Since then, many new Blendtec models have been created and they don't all have the same options. However, they all have the same capabilities!

We're working on creating a prettier conversion chart, but for now, use these instructions to convert blend cycles:
SMOOTHIE Blend on a Medium speed for 40-50 seconds.
SAUCES/DIPS/DRESSINGS/BATTERS Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30 seconds.
ICE CREAM/FROZEN YOGURT Blend on a Low speed for 15 seconds, then blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 30 seconds.
WHOLE JUICE Blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 50-60 seconds.
SOUPS/SYRUPS/FONDUES Blend on a High speed for 90-180 seconds, blending longer for hotter soup.
CLEAN CYCLE Blend for 10-20 seconds, starting at a low speed and gradually increasing to a high speed, then decreasing again before stopping.
ICE CRUSH/MILKSHAKE Blend on a Medium to Medium-Low speed for 30-40 seconds.
Keep an eye on it as to not over- or under-blend.
*These cycles are meant to be guides. You may want to blend less or more depending on the consistency you're looking for (and the ingredients you're using). Any questions? Ask us in the comments below. Happy blending!
Hi Shahin,
Sorry to hear you’re having troubles with making ice cream, hopefully we can help you out.
Using ice instead of frozen fruit would not make that much of a difference. To better answer your question, I’d need to know the ratio of non-frozen:frozen in the recipe you are doing. In theory, it should have made ice cream if the ratio was correct; otherwise a smoothie is a common result.
Hi Dianne, think of the slider as a whole, anything towards the left side is low, in the middle is medium and towards the right is high. Hope that helps!
Hi, I have the Blendtec 570 that i purchased at Costco a year ago and am very happy with it until I started making my own mayonnaise. I have used every setting, but the unit won’t stay on long enough to stream the oil into the other ingredients. I tried the pulse button but it’s difficult to pour steadily and hold the pulse button. The last batch didn’t emulsify at all! Any suggestions? Thanks.
Can you please tell me how the numbers work on the 725 with numbers up to 100 on the slider. What would be considered, low, medium, etc.
Thank you.
Dear Sirs,
I own the Kitchen Chap by K-Tec, Food Preparer Model c-4 # 34663. IT was in storage for several years. I went to use the french whip and the cookie whip and both shattered in the black gear mechanism. I am looking to replace both whips and can not find the replacement part on Amazon or on your website. Please advice where I can find the replacement parts as soon as you can.
One of your fans,
Char Hunt
