Blendtec Classic 475 includes motorbase and jar. Uses 1475 watts with 3.0 peak horsepower. Has an 8 year warranty. Patented jar design flows ingredients toward the blade, eliminating the need for a tamper. The uniquely blunt safety blade is completely safe to use and clean, plus up to 80% thicker and 10 times stronger than competitors' blades. The smart touchscreen interface enables walk-away blending and does not harbor mold and bacteria like old-fashioned knob-and-dial blenders. The hardened metal drive socket never needs to be replaced. The motor is quiet even at ulta high speed.
