I've used both and they both have their strengths and drawbacks.

I have the Blend-tec HP3 blender.

What I like about the blend-tec is that the base of the container is wide so it's easy to remove stuff from the bottom.

It fits under any standard counter.

The design is streamlined.

It's 3 horsepower.

Drawbacks are that it doesn't come with a tamper.

If I use bulky or too many frozen items the unit will dance around the counter.

The vitamix is great - I like the tamkper and the sturdiness of it, but don't like the tall size and the the blade design and bottom of container which makes it difficult to remove things.

Both types are LOUD and so I wera ear protection. I didn't for years of daily use and developed ringing in the ear so I highly recommend ear plugs or ear muffs whenever you use them, unless you spend enough to buy a commercial unit with a sound shield.

I've never used the waring before.
