I Bought A 2 Hp High Performance Blender; Now What?

I Bought A 2 Hp High Performance Blender; Now What?

By:


When I bought my first high performance blender, luckily Costco was the one that had previously agreed to take it back within 6 months after the purchase. The return was not initiated because I didn't like it. It was because I realized that I had spent $400 for a blender that I didn't use.

At the first moments of excitement unpacking the white 2 hp model 5000 we slapped in some ingredients and seconds later evaluated our first smoothie experience. Then rather quickly with much self-approving and nodding heads, we agreed to use it again soon. Days went buy, still nodding heads, proudly looking at the noisy monster as if it was an achievement having spent $ 400, we planned on further smoothies. And suddenly it was 5 months later when this thing stared at me, yelling: "Six Months Return Policy"... and off it went into the box and back to Costco.

Does this somewhat seem familiar to you? In fact, I bet you a 60% chance is that you experienced your smoothie-making frequency in a similar way. Just today, I spoke with a customer who said that he was hoping for his Vita Mix wet blade assembly to arrive soon so he can make a smoothie before the summer ends. And in addition, I have noticed that container and blade sales are up in summer. Why is that?

Our educated guess is that most people who have a blender do not use it all the time. And these people do not even realize that they have a 2 hp or 3 hp high performance blender. This is nut just any blender. Such Vita Mix, Waring, or Blendtec power emulsifier breaks down the ingredients into cellular levels to enhance the nutritional consumption. Yet 60% of consumers don't use their small kitchen appliances and some others believe their power blender makes great ice cream (only). At least, that latter is a popular use.

The serious raw food enthusiast is quite different when first purchasing the blender. Some people take time to learn about the blender's capabilities. They investigate recipes and ingredients' functionality (functional foods) and best organic sources. And when the blender stands proudly on the counter it is worshiped and then used on a daily basis. Only those people who are not serious about their food intake look at the blender as an ice cream machine or a summer-cool-off smoothie maker.

In our experience, if you don't want the blender to end up in the closet or on eBay, loosing money, use it. By using it you will discover new tastes, new recipes, and your body will start feeling better. And only so, you will start using your blender daily. Soon you will want to move up to a 3 hp blender or even a 3.5 hp blender. And you cannot imagine your nutrition-life without a blender any longer.

When deciding to get a blender, picture your health improving and focus on the fresh raw ingredients that you will learn about. Begin your new lifestyle with the attitude of learning and experimenting. For example, cabbage is a sweet tasting vegetable. When however blended in a 2 hp or 3 hp blender, it becomes sharp-hot tasting. So, when you put your recipes together, do it with the goal in mind that you will get to know new tastes. On several occasions I made smoothies that tasted horrible. I felt like tossing the whole thing, but lots of expensive ingredients went into it. I was forced to add some more ingredients to make it at least somewhat consumable. As a result I had learned what to use and what not to use. Today I have my favorite smoothie.

When deciding which one of the high performance blenders you should get, Costco offers at times a Vita Mix 5200 2 hp blender for $395 plus tax, or a Blendted 3 hp Total Blender for $379 plus tax. Waring makes a 3.5 hp commercial blender also, just like the Blendtec and Vita Mix 2 hp 4500 Turbo Blender, which are starting in the mid $300 dollars.

Take your time to investigate carefully which blender you might feel comfortable with. Some are manually operated and others are electronically operated which also feature pre-programmed blending cycles. Compare your apples with apples. In our experience, you really usually get what you pay for.
