Our Verdict

Blendtec Classic 575

Blendtec Chef 600

The Blendtec Chef 600 is better than the Blendtec Classic 575. They perform similarly overall, but the Chef is much better for recipes like nut butter, and it's quieter when it's running. However, the Classic is sturdier and has automatic blending programs as well as speed presets.
