Introduced in 1995, the Total blender was introduced as the first blender on the market with a microprocessor chip. Pre-programmed blending cycles direct a powerful 3-peak horsepower motor to change speeds and times, automatically assuring perfect blending consistency. This technology launched K-TEC into the commercial blender industry. Today, the Blendtec family of commercial blenders can be seen at leading smoothie and coffee shops throughout the world.

No other blender manufacturer can make these claims...

The Most Powerful - 13 AMP motor! The largest in this industry for fast, thorough blending.

Lifetime warranty on the blade and coupling.

No Plunger Necessary - The automatic program
fluctuate the speeds. This helps prevent the danger of pushing something into a spinning blade.

Dry-goods Capability - No need to purchase a separate container or blade to handle dry goods. Mill grains into excellent flours or even cereals.

Fits under standard cupboard - When it's more convenient, it's easier to use. Yet still holds over 1/2 gallon.

Electronic surge and thermal protection - State-of-the-art electronics ensures reliability and durability.

I'm gearing up to buy a high-powered blender, and am leaning toward purchasing a K-tec. (I've had a Vitamix in the past, although like that the K-tec will fit under my cupboards.)
On your site, K-tec is recommended over Vitamix, yet is rated in the forum at only 20% (i.e. ease of use, reliability, etc.) If you get a moment, would you please clarify this for me?

I simply didn't have enough time to add anything. I changed the ratings. You can also check out a detailed comparison of the blender at the link below. http://www.rawguru.com/vita-mix/vita...son-chart.html

I've got them both. I absolutely LOVE the Vita-Mix. I like that it starts out REALLY low so I don't have ingredients spraying around. Easy to operate w/out figuring out all the various button combinations and, as far as under cupboards, the container sits right next to the base... and I have a small kitchen w/ a VM, juicer, citri-star, 11-C food processor and 9-tray Excalibur. Everything fits nicely in a small amount of space.
