You will LOVE this blender, until it Breaks, and you can't get it fixed under the warranty!
I would definitely agree with all the other reviews of this product. I absolutely LOVED this blender when I got it, and used it almost daily for the past year. I did all my research and comparisons to Vitamix and Blendtec, and ultimately decided on the Omega because of the price, the power, and the 2 year warranty that came with it. It held up to all my expectations for a good solid year, until one day the bolt that holds the blade on actually snapped in half and the blade broke off, which also took a chunk of plastic out of the side of the jar. Let me be clear in saying, I was not trying to blend anything hard. No ice or anything, just juice, veggies, and some frozen banana. I have contacted the Omega warranty department, not once, but twice, by email, with no response. I have also tried to call, but they are only open Monday through Friday, 9-5 eastern time. I am on the West Coast, and my job doesn't allow for any time to call, unless I want to call on my 30 minute lunch break. That...
Good powerful blender
This blender works basically as well as the VitaMix. I'd say the only negative in comparison is that this blender doesn't have the "tamper" that allows you to push food down into the blades while it's running. This only matters if you are making a really thick smoothie though.
Also, if you worry about unproven science, this product is not BPA free.
great blender!
Where can I start on this blender... I have come to notice that finding a good blender based on reviews it pretty tough. Well that being said, if you are reading this you are have found it... first! This thing bleeds quality. From the secure top down to the aluminum coupling that secures the heavy duty bearing assembly. The Vitamix uses plastic in this area by the way. The switches flip easily and with the right amount of force to let you know this blender was built to last. The large rubber feet keep it from walking, which is common among high powered blenders. This is not the variable speed version. Some of the other reviews I have read are comparing the Vitamix Turboblend VS to this model and that is not a fair comparison. The regular Turboblend competes with this model. Omega has been making commercial blenders for a subsidiary company for years, but they are just now getting into this market here in the US. Another thing I want to note is why there are other choices out there...
