Not in the market for a $700 blender but still want top-notch quality? Go for a Blendtec. This blender reached celebrity status with its Will It Blend? YouTube series, proving it can blend everything from oyster shells to iPhones (don't try that at home, kids). Blendtec is known for their patented Smart-Touch Tec-nology, which enables you to simply press a button and walk away. The automatic program cycle fluctuates between speeds, then stops when the program time is completed.
