Hi, does this machine work with ice cubes in the smoothie? Yes, in face a lot of our recipes call for frozen fruit or ice cubes. what are the pitcher'sdimesnions ? /jars you will be able to see all jars available. Once you find the jar your looking for just select and go into specs for the dimension information. I'm considering buying the 800 model through Amazon in México, if the blender ever malfunction how can I fix it, are there any customer service or I would have to ship it to the US? This product you are seeing on Amazon Mexico is potentially being sold by an authorized Blendtec distributor selling blenders built for use in Mexico. You will want to reach out to the seller on Amazon to find out if they are authorized and selling a machine specifically built for use in Mexico. If they claim to be authorized, you can call our Customer Service team at 1-800-758-5400 to check if they are authorized to be certain. If they are legitimate and selling authorized Blendtec blenders built for Mexico, then they will honor the warranty in Mexico if anything ever malfunctions.

If you purchase a Blendtec from an unauthorized dealer and/or a machine built for any other country than mexico, then the warranty is void and neither the distributor in Mexico nor Blendtec in the US will honor the warranty. what is the difference between porfisional 800 and stealth 875? which one is newer? and what jar is included? The Professional 800 is for home use, while the Stealth 875 is for commercial use. The Professional 800 comes with 6 preprogrammed cycles that cannot be changed. The Stealth 875 has 42 preprogrammed cycles that you can choose from, and then allows you to program them the six most used has your selection. The Professional 800 has an 8-year warranty, while the Stealth 875 has a 3-year warranty. Does the Pro 800 work with the Mini-Twister? If so, does it require any additional accessories to make it work? All of our jars are universal for all of our motor bases so the Mini Twister will work just fine on the Professional 800. This jar is intended to have the lid twisted while blending, so no other attachments are needed, but you will want to leave the sound enclosure open so you can twist the lid during the cycle.

Is there a package where you can buy multiple jars with your Professional 800, such as WildSide+, along with a Twister Jar, and then have 10 years warranty on both these jars? We do not have a package that currently offers the WildSide+ and Twister jar with the Pro 800. Does the lid fit all model? I have commercial type Model ICB3/ABC3... Our vented gripper lid is universal for all Fourside and Wildside+ jars both residential and commercial. All jars are universal for all motor bases both residential and commercial. Commercial products can purchased through local dealers: How long is the warranty on the included WildSide Jar? Is it 10 years like the Professional 800 Blender or is 8 years like offered on jars the come with your other Blenders (ex: Designer Series)? The included WildSide+ jar will have the same 10-year warranty as the machine itself.Blendtec Total Blender Teardown Available for sale on Amazon We wanted to show off all the hard work the good folks at Blendtec have put into their machines, so we took apart their famous "Will it Blend?" blender!

None of that "push-button" stuff found on $30 blenders. But will it blend? We were so anxious to open up this puppy, we never found out. We'll take the word of thousands of satisfied customers, as well as Blendtec's hilarious videos. A mechanical switch on the back of the unit stops any bad ideas from turning into deadly ideas. You'll notice the absence of plastic. Other blenders use plastic shafts as a safety mechanism. If the blade gets stuck, the blade/motor connection will sever, as the plastic will either break or melt. The Total Blender has several electronic monitors that enable it to have a full metal shaft. That's how it transfers all that power to your ice cubes. The splined connection between the motor shaft and the blades is perfectly suited to transfer the astronomical torque of the motor to the edge of the rotor blades.

The bottom of the blender. Best place to go if you need your serial number. Remove the two Phillips screws (deeply) recessed into the bottom housing. Four side tabs hold the plastic bottom housing in place. Opening the blender is as easy as one, two, three, four. The bottom housing is very ventilated -- essential for cooling the 1560W motor housed within. There's another thin plastic cover underneath the main cover. Nothing too exciting yet. The cover most likely directs air toward the vents in the bottom housing. Notice all the free space. This is the type of device mostly unaffected by the trend to shrink all components as much as possible. Now onto the fun stuff. We begin by pulling out the power switch -- can't be too careful nowadays, especially with the recession and all... Another spade connector lies underneath. We pulled that one out too. Insert a spudger between the EMI power line filter and the case to separate the double sided tape.

The unit comes right off after a couple of spudger twists. Onto the logic board, which may be the most important of all the internal goodies. It regulates all the aspects of operation and safety for the device. The logic board simply sits on brackets molded into the plastic housing. Disconnect a couple of spade connectors from it, and slide it out a bit to reach the control panel ribbon cable connector. Disconnect the control panel ribbon cable from the board. This should almost free the logic board from the rest of the blender. Two more connectors, and the logic board is free to roam about the country! Removing the speed sensor. Aptly named, the speed sensor monitors the speed of the spinning shaft. Should things get out of hand, the sensor will shut off the motor. The speed sensor uses inductive pickup to tell the control circuitry how fast the shaft is spinning. Inductive pickup is triggered by ferrous metal passing by in close proximity, causing a current to be induced in the pickup.

This is really the same effect used by an electric guitar to pick up the string vibrations. Blendtec informed us that the Total Blender includes what they call a "hammer-fire" system. The main microprocessor will trigger this system if it detects that the blade stopped spinning. The processor will send a series of strong electric pulses with the intent to free the blades from the obstruction. If that fails, it will shut off the motor to prevent any damage. Remove two Phillips screws (of the four holding together the entire device) from the brush/slip ring housing. These puppies didn't come out without a fight. No wonder why -- they're over 3" long! Containing the inertia of the rotor spinning at 28,000 rpm is kind of important. Remove the single nut from the fan end of the shaft. A 3/8" Allen wrench conveniently fits into the splines at the other end of the shaft, making the nut removal a snap. After removing the nut, the fan simply lifts off the shaft.

Use a flat blade screwdriver to 'walk' each of the two brass brush housings away from the motor shaft. After the brass brush housings are separated from their housing, the brush spade connectors simply slide out. Removing the brush/slip ring housing exposes the support ball bearings at the tail of the motor shaft. The brass brush housing is connected to the pure carbon brush with a braided copper wire. The carbon brushes normally wear out before the rest of the motor. Lifting the stator out of the Blendtec. The weld connecting the stack of metal plates creating the frame of the stator is just plain beautiful. Tracing the small black wire to the bottom of the stator and peeling back the tape reveals... The thermistor is used to monitor the temperature of the windings to avoid meltdown. We're told that the motor temperature has to reach a maximum of 130 degrees Celsius (266 degrees Fahrenheit) before being shut off! Just look at this rotor.
