Design & Performance

The Classic 575 has been designed with customer convenience in mind. Two of its four blending cycles are for 60 seconds and 90 seconds. This keeps it simple and straightforward, yet still very efficient. There is a preprogrammed cycle for cleaning as well, which makes it super easy to clean. The other cycle is for smoothies, but you can use the 575 to prepare hot soups, ice creams, juice, and more.

The preprogrammed settings are one of the things you’ll probably love most about this blender. Want to prepare a smoothie in the morning before going to work? Just add the ingredients into the jar, press the smoothie button softly, walk away, and return a few seconds later. Your freshly prepared smoothie will be ready and waiting for you.

You can buy the Blendtec Twister Jar separately if you want to make nut butter and work with other dry ingredients. This jar is specially designed to do these jobs with ease, and it easily attaches to the Classic 575’s base.

Can You Make Ice Cream in the Blendtec Classic 575?

Yes, this machine has the functionality to crush and slow-churn ice for yummy ice cream. It won’t cool the cream or ice like an ice cream maker (which is designed specifically for that purpose), so you’ll have to add ice into your jar. The 575’s powerful motor will then rotate the blades to break the ice into soft snow, which you can use for snow cones or ice cream. Indeed, the Classic 575 is a multi-function appliance.

Power

The Classic 575 is one of the more powerful blenders you’ll find. Its 3 peak horsepower 1725-watt motor gives you more than adequate power for blending. The motor generates heat, which is then transferred to the blades to move. The power efficiently pulverizes all ingredients — even the toughest ones such as ice, nuts, and seeds. However, even with all that powerful blending, you’ll still get all the nutrition from your veggies and soups — nothing gets compromised during the process.

There is also a cooling technology in the Classic 575 which will prevent its motor from overheating. This will protect your blender from damage and enhance the life of it.

Is It Easy To Clean?

The containers in all Blendtec blenders are dishwasher safe, so cleaning is a breeze. Having said that, there is an even easier way to clean your Classic 575 — just use the preprogrammed cleaning cycle in its base. This is one of the four preprogrammed cycles in this blender. Just add a few teaspoons of dishwashing detergent and press the cleaning button. Allow the cycle to complete, rinse your container, and it’s good as new.

Also, there are no knobs or switches on the 575’s base which makes the surface smooth and super easy to wipe clean. Nothing can get stuck in corners or crevices — just give it a quick wipe and you’re done.

Warranty

Blendtec includes an 8-year warranty with the Classic 575, which is one of the best on the market. There is also the company’s 30-day money back guarantee in case it doesn’t live up to your expectations for some reason.
