Our Verdict

Blendtec Total Blender Classic

Blendtec Chef 600

The Blendtec Chef 600 is a little better than the Blendtec Total Blender Classic. The Chef comes with a smaller 75oz (32oz blending capacity) jar and is easier to use for recipes like nut butter. It makes a smoother blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients more efficiently. While the Total Classic crushes ice quicker and has blending programs as well as a manual blending mode, it's one of the loudest blenders we've tested.
