Question: Is this model the same one sold on QVC & HSN? Does is that the 2.2 HP  motor and 1400 watts ?
Document: 2.2 HP (1400 watts) for the Dash, 2 HP (1380 watts) for the Vitamix, and 3 HP (1560 watts) for the Blendtec. There is a difference between RATED HP and PEAK HP. The problem with that is how each company calculates the HP and which type of HP their reflecting on. They are not always clear. Most important is to reflect on wattage and warranty. 7 year warranty on all 3 for the motor.
One other thing,... 1 HP = 746 watts. So do the math and you'll see that there are some discrepancies. Blendtec is way off on their power ratings. Either way, these are some powerful blenders.Third.... CAPABILITY. The Dash can turn flax seed and barley to dust. Fruit seeds, stems, avocado pits, and high fiber veggies can all be blended to a nice smoothie. Ice is no problem at all. Those are about the toughest foods that I blend.
I have a vitamix and this blender is quite similar. Even the container fits on my vitamix (but not vice versa because the Dash has a lock out switch and the activator is molded into the canister. Vitamix has no lock out and can be activated with the canister on or off. The motor HP and torque specs are the same. The blade design is a bit different.
They also were very rude in the emails they sent me & on the phone. Amazon customer service wasnice but could not help me with that awful company, would have been better off & more happy if I just went through HSN or QVC & paid more with payment options plus better return & refund policies & of course getting an actual New product.
I've been searching for a high-end blender for close to a year, before I discovered this brand. I knew I wanted something really powerful, but I couldn't bring myself to pay $500 for a blender. I discovered this blender by accident, and after reading the positive reviews and noticing how powerful it is (1400 watt motor), I decided to take a chance.
The unit is 2 years warranted (you can ask for another year when you register it) and the motor is good for 7 years. For about 130 buck (bought mine at Sam's Club) I can ask for more. If it does work 2 years, that is good enough for the price.Hydro.
The Dash blender costs way less  $162 VS $410. I could afford the Vitamix, but I didn't want to. Warranty is pretty good on the Dash... not as good as the other 2 , but very respectable. Motor power is up there with Vitamix... Vitamix People !! Did I mention that the Dash motor is rated at 35,000 RPM's. The Dash replacement carafe is $30 and only 1 size.
I should have known better than to order this blender based on HSN because I purchased their counter top pressure oven and it went back within a few days. The only thing that it cooked quickly was a chicken. Everything else wad finished in the same amount of time that it takes in my range's oven. I hope that I have helped at least one person by preventing them from purchasing this horrible blender. If you do decide to purchase it, make sure that you can return it.
So glad I chose this one and not something else. These are a ridiculously good deal. I did a lot of research and almost bought some others before I found the Dash. But so many of the other brands by the reviews had cheap parts that broke or were to weak. This Dash has real metal where they come together. Looks very heavy duty. Has a powerful and fast motor. I love the digital wheel, easy to use.
It's would be a joke to compare them to this one.First off.... PRICE. I paid $150 plus tax for my Dash and the cheapest I have seen the Vitamix 5200 VS and Blendtec Total Blender is $380 plus tax and jumps up from there. With all do respect, these more expensive blenders are really the heavy hitters in the blender arena. I have only watched live demonstrations of the 2 and was very impressed with their capabilities.
Answer: I'm not sure if this is sold on QVC & HSN as well, but all I can say is that it is a great machine, very powerful. And Yes, it has 1400 watts. To this moment, the only issue I encountered is that I can't take out the blade from the pitcher (like you can do on other machines, the Ninja for example) I already started to see water deposits between the blade and the pitcher and that's not a good thing. It will become moldy.
