Ultimately, it comes down to one's preference, as Blendtec and Vitamix are two of the highest-performing blenders on the market. Vitamix received better reviews for reliability but rated equally on consumer satisfaction, convenience, and durability against tough ingredients based on consumer reports. Vitamix is priced similarly on their beginner and mid-level products, but Blendtec has higher-priced professional models and offers a separate line of commercial products on their site.
