What is the best model for making smoothie in a comercial setting?

Blendtec sells commercial blenders that are designed for use in stores and restaurants. They even offer a cover to reduce the noise.

I personally do not trust for very hot food or liquid. My preference is glass as the best choice. Unfortunately very few glass pitcher blenders are offered in contrast to polycarbonate, etc

The variable speed gives you the range much like the multiple settings on a typical blender (Stir, Chop, Mix, Puree, Liquefy). You can also start out slowly and then turn it up as you go along to ultimately emulsify the contents. It works great for smoothies, which is mainly why I bought it. I like it, but it would be a personal preference thing, depending upon how you plan to use it. It definitely gives you more versatility.

Hi Mariya, tribest PB 350 is a good blender and the main part of it 7 inches

I make smoothies every week - a full 64 oz. plus each time - and I set the dial to utilize the "smoothie" function then run it 2 or 3 times (probably overkill on my part!). To date I've experienced zero problems with this machine; no overheating, no stalls. If you DO exceed the blenders capacity to mix evenly, Oster includes a handy "plunger" to free up the mix. Vitamix incorporates a similar tool but you will need to use it regularly if you opt for the $$$ Vitamix. Frankly, the VERSA is, so far, the better blender.

Hi Lois. As you can see, I purchased the Ninja Master Prep Pro. It came with a large blender and 2 smaller blenders. I use one of the 2 smaller blender sizes about 98% of the time as they are a very good size for blending and chopping. The Ninja is awesome for making "snow" for drinks and snowcones. Just fill the container with ice, then 'pulse' the top blender button. Pulse for a second or two then stop. Repeat over and over again until the ice gets to the consistency you desire. I also make 'icecream' in the smaller size blender, as it is the perfect size for 2-3 people. I cut up bananas, strawberries, peaches, blue berries, etc and place in the freezer. Then I take out whatever size portion I think I need, add a small amount of 1% milk then 'pulse' until the contents turn to icecream. This is a low fat and delicious treat. Only takes about 60 seconds to blend, and then another 60 seconds to clean the blender and cutting blades. Vegetables, gotta be mor cautious when using the 'pulse' because the ultra-sharp blades will pulverize the veggies and seeds VERY fast if you don't watch what you're doing. Salsa is quick and easy, just let the blades do the chopping and blending. I have been extremely satisfied with this machine. I just don't use the large pitcher/blender part that much. The ideal set-up for purchase would be : 1 large pitcher/blender, 1 smaller pitcher/blender, and 1 "bullet shape/sized blender for individual smoothie making. THAT would be the PERFECT set-up. All-in-all, LOVE my Ninja. No problems what so ever. Easy to clean. Doesn't take up much room either. Oh, just be warned that when crushing ice, it can/will be noisy. Minor detail really. Enjoy it.I do.

I make smoothies all the time in it. It handles ice and frozen strawberries, but it takes a bit longer than a $200 blender would. I would buy it again because for the price it does the job fine. It's also easy to take apart and clean. The negatives would be that it is loud. I also love the food processor attachment!

I was in the smoothie business for 15 years. This is much quieter and faster with 3 hp. Worth the money. The speed and better blender blades makes fast work of most ice.

We haven't tried making smoothies with our VRT400. It is primarily a juice extractor and it does a great job of that. No matter what fruit or vegetable you put into it, it squeezes the juice out and leaves all the fibre and pulp behind. My opinion is that you would want to use a blender to make smoothies, not a juicer.

The Ninja will work great for frozen drinks. I have a regular blender also but it is worthless when I add ice to it. That is why I got the Ninja.

http://www.cuisinart.com/support/us.html ? They might be able to help you. I used my Cuisinart Blender for several years, making huge smoothies every day, but I finally bout a Vitamix, which makes my smoothings quick, easy and very smooth. Good luck!

It is a very heavy and expensive product. I think it's cheaper to buy a blender in Europe. Also depends on the watt of the equipment

The United Kingdom ( UK) makes this outstanding pastry blender. I made several crumb toppings w/this quailiy unit.Have tried others,and OXO is my choice.Hands down to any other at present.

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)

Depended on the setting you chose and how you want it. This blender is perfect for ice drinks, soups, peanut butter, the list goes on. Over a year with this thing now and I still love it.

No problems at all in my limited experience as I am just using it to make smoothies. The unit seems well engineered and I expect it will provide years of reliable service.
