V Professional Blender TM-800A (White)

Item for me was very expensive, but I was tired of blenders that wouldn't make good smoothies, or drinks. So I bit the bullet and bought this. It made a fabulous smoothie so far, and perfect hummus. I tried the lemon test as shown on the video. I had a bit more left over than on the video, but I was very well satisfied. I actually mixed the whole lemon juice with club soda and some stevia and drank it. Gotta be healthy! It does have a smell, which the seller said is oil that is used for the motor, and will dissipate with time.As far as the cleaning, if there is food on the top of the blender, and you put the cover on to blend it with a bit of detergent, well, you still have to clean the top part of the blender. Not a problem though.

In my opinion, this is the best high powered blender on the market. And it has a wide bottom so you almost never need to use the tamper. My friend has a Vitamix, and although she says she loves her vitamix she says she has to use the tamper often. I researched many blenders before buying, and I am so happy with my purchase. It liquefies produce and seeds perfectly so your body can assimilate the nutrients much faster. Plus it is quiet for a blender. Other blenders are so loud and some have cases you can buy separately to tamper the sound. You do not need one for this blender, even on high.

Yes very good. Pulls food down. Better than the 3 blade ninja I was previously using. Easy to cleanBlack wand to push and move food around is handyI us emit for green smoothies I don't peel skin of apple cucumber etc anymore. Purges so Finely. Great. Recommend it

i like it better than my previous types (nutri-ninja and nutri-bullet), although these were ok for the tasks i used, with the upside-down containers. easier to make thick smoothies which is my goal. i find it bothersome to get all the contents out though. but i guess that this is typical for this upright type. vitamix must be the same. i have made smoothies, almond milk, ground almonds to flour, babaganoush, hummus, gazpacho, fatty coffees, milkshakes, summerdrinks,

im taking time out of my vaca to warn people not to spend this kind of money on this blender, it is a POS! im using the omniblend at our vacation rental, and i hate it! it throws all your contents up all over the sides of the container, even if you start on low. i make a smoothie every day and use expensive green powders that are just wasted. it requires additional liquid every time, just to make it work, and it never really blends well. at home i have used an inexpensive Faberware bullet type blender for almost 2 years that works very well and is easy to clean, i only paid $40. i also own an expensive Vitamix that works very well and is a lifelong investment, but my Faberware is easier to use and i can carry it with me places. pay extra and get the Vitamix, or the cheap Faberware or Bullet!

This rating was really more of a 2.5 based on the false warranty. They posted "7 year warranty" on the box simply because Vitamix does the same. I had this blender for 3-4 years and it worked pretty well, in all honesty... Until it stopped working. It started smoking and seems like it may explode. I wasn't to upset initially because of that guarantee, but the imaginary warranty has really destroyed my entire experience with the company. They've basically tossed their hand up. One rep stated the BLENDER has a SEVEN year warranty, but the blender's MOTOR only has a TWO year warranty... and this sounds like a MOTOR issue.What is a blender if not the motor? The pitcher? Does the pitcher have a 7 year warranty. If you want a blender to last a few years and then be disposable, I'd say go for it. I've decided to just go the Vitamix route. The new blenders have a 10 year warranty and its definitely waaaay more worth the bang for your buck at that point. I don't want to buy a new blender every few years since it ends up costing more in the end.He's probably a good guy, but I didn't really get our last interaction with suggesting "bugs" were inside the blender:"Dear AnthonyWe are the TAIWAN company, China Factory, Our assembley factory is in China, if you bring it to our factory, we will check and repair it. Now you are in USA, you should ask for your supplier to repair it. But we have to issue some common sense regarding motor as following:Most of commercial blenders damage(including motor & carbon brush damage) because of juice & foods poured on the coushion and pulled into and cause damage to the motor and PCB, or use on kitchen, smoke, oil and dust go inside, it is very dirty and difficult to clean, insects grown-up.dirty motor base with insects and oil inside, we will change whole motor base with PCB and charge customer.dirty cover, we will change a new cover and charge them.Rgds/Pinky"

Did not meet my expection based on the advertisement when compared with the Vitamix about having less residue after blending. I would have returned it and pay the extra to get the Vitamix but I kept it two month before using and didn't want to hassle with return policy

I own an Omni Blender and have used it for 3 years. I also own a Blendtec because I got it for the friends/family discount for very cheap. I switch off to save the life of each blender because I'll be making green smoothies until I die. No doubt, the Omni Blender is just as good as the Blendtec. Not sure about Vitamix, never used one of those. In my area Blendtec is a hit because it's headquartered in the valley I live in. Save yourself $100's and get the Omni and you won't be disapointed. The owner of Omni Blender will answer your call when you call customer service and he is a great business man. He helps you out in anyway you need. The bottom line, Blendtec is your "apple" product and Omni is your "samsung" or another "off" brand, per say. Omni is a great blender and you'll have no worries about it living up to it's competitors.
