Blendtec Chef 600

The Blendtec Chef 600 is excellent for multi-purpose use. It's very well-suited for recipes like soups, smoothies, and sauces. It can hot blend and easily pulverize ice cubes. Unlike most blenders, you use pulse mode in the middle of a blending cycle. This makes it simple to switch between pulsing and regular blending, giving you lots of control over the blending process. Unfortunately, it's not well-suited for recipes like nut butter or hummus. While it's fairly well-built overall, some parts of the motor base feel cheap. The jar isn't dishwasher-safe, but its blunt blade design makes it very easy to clean by hand.
