The Design

The design certainly plays an important role when buying a blender. It must be clearly said that some specific, more up-to-date Blendtec blenders differ from their competitors, such as Vitamix. They look very sporty, elegant, and powerful at the same time.

They are shorter and generally look smaller and more narrow. These properties also apply to the Blendtec Classic 575 model.

In the practical tests, we will find out whether its performance, i.e., the blending results, is as good as the visuals.

The blender structure seems to be very basic and straightforward, and so the kitchen appliance consists of two main parts – the mixer body with the motor and a removable mixer cup (model: Fourside).

This device presents the advantage of starting mixing immediately after unpacking the new device.

Connect the Blendtec high-performance mixer to the power source, attach the blender jar, add ingredients, and start using the automatic programs or manual control.

How To Use Blendtec 575 Blender?

The control panel is designed to be very user-friendly usage is primarily apparent and straightforward.

We find the four blending cycles in the top row: “Smoothie, 60-second, 90-second, and cleaning”.

There is a stop button underneath the five manually controllable speed levels on the left side, and on the right side, we have a practical pulse function.

Most people find the display in the front very useful, as it shows both the duration of the blending and the total number of applications.

The Blendtec blender is extremely easy to use with the two control options. The manual speed control gives you control over mixing in a particular manner.

This way, you can influence the result as much as possible. However, every manual blending process is automatically stopped after 50 seconds.

Of course, you can start the blender again immediately afterward if you want to. For example, mix very fiber-rich wild herbs or mix large quantities.

The automatic blending cycles reduce your workload and, of course, help when it comes to safety. There is also an on and off switch on the rear of the engine block housing, which can immediately stop everything.

Blender Jar

You also get a BPA-free Wild Side+ jar for large batches. It is a 90-ounce volume jar with a 36-ounce blending capacity (wet or dry).

It is ideal for blending beverages for 4-6 people. The container has two high-quality, long stainless steel knives that successfully do their jobs. Thanks to the four protruding corners, you also get the blender jar lid with a very firm fit and convenient handling.

The opening is helpful when it comes to adding other ingredients during the mixing process. A plus is also the measuring scale, making it easy to read the filling quantity in oz, cl, ml, and cups.

Blending with Blendtec 575 Classic

We tested the products of Blendtec Classic 575 extensively over several weeks and mixed many different smoothies with fruits, vegetables, superfoods, and green ingredients such as wild herbs.

The ingredients used were strawberries, apples, bananas, oranges, avocados, cucumbers, mangoes, limes, kiwis, ginger, pineapples, pitted dates, and lemons. We also used superfoods like blueberries, mulberries, chia seeds, hemp seeds, moringa, carob, maca, goji berries, and quinoa. Besides, we enjoyed some green leaves and culinary herbs, including lamb’s lettuce, parsley, spinach, garlic arugula, dandelion, lemon balm, red dead nettle, small and large sorrel, ribwort, burdock herb, creeping charlie, chickweed, stonecrop, mugwort, comfrey, salsify, narrow-leaved willow-herb, forest spruce, and mallow.

Blending Results:

The Blendtec Classic 575 achieves reasonable price and performance class results when mixing simple fruits and creating green smoothies.

Lemon and lime peels, frozen raspberries, and very high-fiber ingredients such as wild herbs are adequately crushed but won’t be 100% smooth. With a longer runtime, the mixed results become better.

Here you can see the enormous power of the mixer very clearly. The mixer remains stable without rotating much, and it can skillfully process large quantities of foods. The performance potential is impressive even with more significant amounts of food.

The temperatures of the blended smoothies were suitable, with no excessive warm-ups. All smoothies taste great, although there is still a little room for improvement in creaminess.

Other areas of application

Blendtec blenders are usually great all-rounders in the kitchen, with which you can create not only delicious smoothies but also cover many more areas of application.

In combination with the Twister Jar, many consistencies such as almond butter, strawberry ice cream, or pesto can also be produced. Pre-programmed cycles make it easier than ever to create smoothies, salsas, hot soups, and more.

Cleaning

When compared to other blenders, cleaning this high-performance mixer is child’s play, especially in the Blendtec Classic 575 because there aren’t too many knives, and they aren’t jammed together.

You can fill the 1.0-liter four-side blender jar up to a third with water, add a drop of washing-up liquid (no more; otherwise, it foams too much!), start the high-performance mixer, and leave it run at high speed for 30 seconds. You can also use a fixed cleaning program.

After that, you empty the blender jar, rinse it again with clear water, and that’s it. The blender jar handle also has an opening for cleaning with a smaller brush.

You can then wipe the engine block and control panel with a damp cloth, never submerge it into water.

Safety

Necessary basic requirements for life-sustaining and life-prolonging functions of a blender are overload and overheating protection.

This device has such properties. Unfortunately, the mixer does not detect mixed containers (child lock).

The mixer scores hit exceptionally high marks with their powerful motor. When seen as a whole, the Classic 575 Blender is relatively simple and a great entry-level device of a high-quality American manufacturer both in terms of functionality and price.

The extremely long warranty period of 8 years for the complete machine is a great advantage and the amount of attention paid to details.
