Blendtec Tom Dickson Extreme Blender Review

In the “Will It Blend?” video series, Tom Dickson, the CEO of Blendtec, shows the incredible power of his blenders. He can be seen blending all sorts of things, including camcorders, a crowbar, cell phones, and even an iPhone. Blendtec even ran a “Blend My Phone Contest”!

Of course, it’s highly unlikely that you have any interest in blending this stuff, but if you just want something with the blending power that is capable of achieving such impressive performances, then you should check out the Blendtec Tom Dickson Extreme Blender.

The 3.8 peak horsepower motor of this blending workhorse gives you all the power you need to prepare those yummy delicacies. You can blend smoothies, juices, soups, sauces, dips & spreads, salsas, and more. The days of half-blended smoothies or overheated motors are over!

You can also use the Tom Dickson Extreme Blender for chopping, mixing, grinding, pureeing, and dough making. The consistency and texture of your recipes are always spot on.

The motor design of this model allows faster turnaround time while blending. The safety blades are 10 times stronger and 80 percent thicker than other models.

There are four preprogrammed settings for whole juice, mixed drinks, smoothies, and one for low energy that gives you walk-away convenience. Choose from its 10 different speed controls. Use the pulse function if you need additional power – perfect for tough ingredients such as ice, frozen fruits, nuts, and seeds. The Tom Dickson Extreme Blender is great to look at as well, and it looks great on kitchen countertops.

Blendtec blenders are well-known for receiving rave reviews, and this model is no exception. Buyers have complemented this blender for its awesome power, smart features, multiple speed and preprogrammed settings, ease of operations, durability, and warranty.

Power & Performance

It’s called the Blendtec Extreme Blender for a good reason. It has 3.8 peak horsepower motor that runs at 2,400-watts, making this machine quite the beast. Most other blenders, in comparison, have a 3 horsepower motor with total wattage around 1,500-1,800.

There are two big advantages as a result of this impressive power. The blades move with incredible force, cutting and chopping everything they come in contact with (exactly like the “Will it Blend?” show!). This makes the Blendtec Tom Dickson Extreme Blender not just a blender, but a multifunctional device that will be useful in any kitchen. Secondly, it will blend faster than many other machines.

At the moment, this machine has the highest blending power in the world. The Blendtec 800 is also equipped with the same motor, but the 800 runs on 15-amps, while the Extreme runs on 20-amps. So, the Blendtec Tom Dickson Extreme Blender pulls in more power.

Efficiency

There are four preprogrammed settings in the Blendtec Tom Dickson Blender for whole juice, mixed drinks, smoothies, and low energy. These precise cycles make blending easy and quick. Just put the ingredients in your jar, push a button, and in a few seconds you’ll have your blend. There is no need to keep stopping the device to mix or push down the ingredients — the machine does that for you.

It is really that straightforward and simple. All the preprogrammed settings are nicely displayed on the base unit with signs that are easy to understand. Just press start, and the blender does its thing.

Containers

You will get two different jars with the Blendtec Tom Dickson Extreme Blender – the WildSide+, and the FourSide container. The FourSide jar can hold 64 oz, while the WildSide+ is larger – it holds 96 oz. It is surprising how much fresh vegetables and fruits you can pack into your WildSide+ container, and it’s impressive to watch as the powerful motor liquefies the ingredients quickly in front of your eyes.

Both of these containers are made of BPA-free plastic and have Vented Gripper lids that keep the contents safely inside. There is a removable plastic plug in the lid that lets you add ingredients even while the machine is blending.

The containers can both blend dry or wet ingredients, which is super nice because you won’t have to buy another one separately. With Vitamix, for instance, you need to buy a container with a dry blade separately.

Built-In or Tabletop Use

Another thing that is nice about the Blendtec Tom Dickson Extreme Blender is that you can use it mounted on your countertop or build it right into the counter itself.

Warranty

Blendtec offers an excellent 10-year warranty on the Tom Dickson Extreme Bender. Plus, there is also a 30-day money back guarantee if you decide that it didn’t live up to your expectations.
