K-tec HP3 Blender
Now known as the Blendtec home HP3A
The inside information about heavy duty blenders
There are two heavy duty blenders on the market worth talking about:
The K-tec HP3 and the Vita Mix. These machines are about the same price,
and are considered to be comparable. So if you
already own a Vita Mix-no there is need to trade up to a K-tec, but
if you are looking for a heavy duty blender I definitely
recommend the K-tec over the Vita Mix.
I like the K-tec HP3 blender better than the Vita mix
for the following reasons:
- K-tec is 3 peak horsepower. Vita Mix is only 2.
- K-tec has a life time warrantee on the coupling and the blade
- K-tec lid is much easier on/off than the Vita Mix lid
- K-tec does not use a plunger. It uses pre-set varying speeds
to pull the food into the blades.
- K-tec has a computer chip. It has no knobs or dials to get
dirty, just a nice keypad.
- K-tec stands as high as a normal blender, the other is very
high and uncomfortable to work with, plus the k-tec will fit
under most upper cabinets, the Vita Mix doesn't.
- K-Tec container is lighter and has straight sides making
it much easier to get all the food out of the container,
and easier to hold up for long periods of time while scraping out every
last delicious bit.
Here is what is says on page 209 of my book about the K-tec:
K-tec Champ
The premier home blender
K-tec is the innovative leader in the commercial blender market.
This same engineering genius goes into their home use blender,
the Champ HP3. Computer controlled blend cycles make perfect
smoothies or soups with one-touch operation. No old-fashioned
knobs, switches, or dials to wear out or struggle with cleaning.
Its half-gallon capacity GE lexan (break resistant) jar is
lightweight and easy to clean. Pre-programmed blending cycles
direct a powerful 3 peak horsepower motor to change speeds and
times, automatically assuring perfect blending consistency-making
any blending task a breeze. Complete 3-year warranty on machine
and lifetime warranty on coupling and blade for home use.
The K-tec can blend frozen bananas into smoothies or large
chunks of carrot into soups. Easy on, easy off lid with no
need for a plunger type tool to mix ingredients. For daily
raw food prep, the K-tec is essential for smooth results
and fast preparation.
K-tec has revolutionized the commercial blender market.
Now all Starbucks, Jamba juice, and Disney use K-tec in
place of the Vita-Mix and for good reason.
The K-tec at your local Starbucks in encased in a lucite
box and its base is black. The one you will get does not have
the lucite box. Choice of black base or white base.
