subject: If You Want A High Quality Blender, Look No Further Than Blendtec [print this page] Blendtec is a division of K-TEC incorporated and was started in 1975 by Tom Dickenson. Tom's first product was a home use miller for grinding wheat. This nifty device combined a milling chamber and a motor from a vacuum cleaner. With the success of the wheat miller, Blendtec could move into broader markets including the blenders market.
They started manufacturing commercial blenders that were used in smoothie shops, restaurants, and bars. Blendtec was truly innovative in the commercial market, adding many unique features to their blenders. Some even had motors built into the countertop at bars.
Blendtec had such success in the commercial blender market that they decided to start making blenders for home use. They called this line of products "Blendtec Fine Living." These home blenders are just as strong and well-made as their commercial blenders. Blendtec's home blenders have been extremely popular all around the world. Some of the blenders they offer include these models.
