Blendtec Total Classic 575
$349.99
The main rival to Vitamix, Blendtec uses a blunt, ultra-strong blade and preset cycles that run hands-free. The wide, short jar fits under cabinets and pours easily. The premium pick if you prefer one-touch programs over manual dials.
Best for: One-touch fans · Under-cabinet fit · Daily blending
