How does this compare to the Professional 800 currently on Blendtec's website? Is this last year's "professional" model?

Hi Douglas, I just help my sister buy this. I have no idea how about the model. But she happy to buy this. That what I can share with you. Thanks.

The ea9800 is brighter and gets slightly better color. It also handles motion slightly better too if you are very particular. You can see reviews off both sets at "televisions.reviewed.com". The differences will be too subtle to distinguish in normal viewing however but it provides more bragging rights for vidoephilles like me.

I just bought a Cuisinart Elite 14 FP yesterday. I will post my feedback once I put it to the test. I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and Cuisinart rated #1 on food processors.

I don't know, I just looked at my blender and the pattern looked like it, for the price I gave it a shot and it worked great. That's what I use at work. That being said, I just bought a new kitchen aid for home you can get them refurbished for $59 and oh my now that's a blender!

That is the real question This vs Vitamix or BlendTecLooks like most of the reviewers in the Amazon Vine program have not used/bought high end blenders like Vitamix/Blendtec and give their glowing reviews comparing to a typical <$100 low powered blender, typically a $40-$60 Oster blender. Hence most of the Vine reviews are useless since they got a high end blender for free and compare their experience to a $50 blender. The real useful review would come from an existing owners of one of those high priced blenders who paid real money to get this and the other one, do not benefit from sales commissions for marketing the other ones, and have ability to compare them side by side.

The 31603 is in the Innova pro line. It has more features and capabilities than the 3160d. Here is the link to Innova website the 31603 is listed on http://www.pro.innova.com/Product/Tools/ I purchased the 31603 in January and I would recommend it. I do this type of work professionally and I can do just as much, if not more, with it than I can with our laptop with professional software on it. I hope this helps.

The unit is very good. Much better than the newest model. I was so impressed with the J8005 after my 20 yr old model that I also purchased the newest vertical model. Hard to clean, stalls out and way too complex - just not good. I believe the J8006 is slightly better than the 8005 that I have and the best they ever made. It is an induction motor and you will have to spend a little over $120 for a transformer or stepdown converter for France 220 volt unless there is a cheaper way.

I cannot specifically answer... I purchased the 5200, and it is an amazing machine. I did months and months of homework before purchasing... Most consumer reviews put Vitamix on top... Consumer Reports put Vitamix on top... So then weeding through the many different Vitamix models... The 5200 kept popping up... THE top lender on CR... Smoothie King uses the 5200... And the narrower base really prevents build up like you get on the wider base models that are similar to BlendTec. I trust CR, and the many consumer reviews back it up. You won't go wrong with the 5200.

It's pretty loud that's for sure. I did see a reduced volume version of the Blendtec but it's over $1,000. If you got the dough, get that. However, even though it is loud the blender rocks. Very happy with it. I don't know the other brand you're talking about but it's like the Vitamix in loudness.

It comes with a warranty but I'm not sure if its a 3-year warranty. You can call Blendtec and ask them.

Sorry dude, I don't have the 800 to compare. But, as an architect, I can tell you that the rotring rapid pro is a remarkable piece of machine, sturdy and elegant.

I'd go with this over the monster pro. I have this for our studio and I have seen furman everywhere I go. The monster is over priced and It did not review as well as the furman. I looked into it as well. It looks impressive but I think that is what your buying

Not me. I've used my blender every day for over a year. I would return it before the warranty expires. Maybe you got a dud.

How frequently do these people use their blenders? once a day? once a week? once a month?In my case, my work place(a professional kitchen in a 5-star hotel in Waikiki)has a blender like this one, we use it a lot everyday. That's why I bought one myself for home use.Don't get me wrong, Vitamix are good stuff too, we have them in the kitchens too. It's like comparing Toyota and Honda, you know?! One is NOT necessarily better than the other.

I've never tried the Ninja Mega Kitchrn System, but I've own a Ninja in the past. The Blendtec was a replacement for my dead Ninja... The blend tech is a far better appliance.

I would say no it isn't worth the $$$. If you're going to spend this much for a blender you might as well spend a little more and get a blentec or vitamix. I've had the Ninja and now own a Blendtec and let me tell you it is night and day. Not too mention those ninja blades are scary.

NO they are different. Specifically the 750 has a preprogrammed setting that allows you to blend to a specific recipe and then the unit shuts off after it reaches the required consistency. thank you
