blendtec tom dickson extreme blender review

It’s set to become one of this year's most coveted gadgets, but there is one question that is surely on everyone’s mind: Can you blend the Apple Watch into a fine dust?Thankfully, that question has been answered by the popular YouTube series ‘Will it Blend?’In a video, the expensive device is seen being lowered into a state-of-the art blender before the blades are switched on. Blendtec is renowned for its videos that put various products into a blender to see how they hold up. In its latest promo, the Utah-based firm tested the resilience of the Apple Watch (pictured). ‘It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for my Apple Watch,’ host Tom Dickson said in the latest videoUtah-based company Blendtec is known for its videos that put various products into a blender to see how they hold up.Previous items to be put to the sword include the iPhone 6, magnets and even a pool cue.‘It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for my Apple Watch,’ host Tom Dickson said in the latest video.

In a light-hearted exchange, ‘Siri’ pleads with him to not be subjected to the force of the blender.‘The Apple Watch is a work of art, it should be on your wrist, not in a Blendtec,’ it says.‘Siri, I'm afraid there's no other way to answer the question: “Will it blend?”’ After a light-hearted exchanged with 'Siri', Mr Dickson places the watch in the blender (pictured) and presses the start button while holding the lid. He also advises viewers not to try this at homeHe then places the watch in the blender and presses the start button while holding the lid - and advises viewers not to try this at home.At first the watch - with its rubber strap - seems to hold up quite well but within a few seconds it quickly starts to disintegrate.And by the end of the video the device - which starts at £299 ($349) - is reduced to a fine black powder.‘So what’s up next? I hear Apple is building their own car. I can deal with that,’ jokes Dickson, before he is shown seemingly building a giant blender to fit an Apple Car inside.

At first the watch - with its rubber strap - seems to hold up quite well, as seen in this animation But within a few seconds it quickly starts to disintegrate, turning black as all the components are shredded And by the end of the video the device - which starts at £299 ($349) - is reduced to a fine black powderIn a separate video, the Apple Watch Sport model was recently shown to shatter easily when dropped from a height of just under four feet (1.2 metres).Apple claims its watch, which has an Ion-X glass display, is 'protected by a lightweight aluminosilicate glass that's especially resistant to scratches and impact.' TechRax drops the 42mm timepiece from a height of four feet (1.2 metres) to simulate what may happen if a wearer drops their watch while tightening or unfastening the strap.When TechRex dropped the watch ‘not aiming at the display,’ in a test conducted in Sacramento, California, it survived unscathed despite a nasty ‘crack’ noise when the timepiece hit the pavement.

The tiny round disks created are ground into shape, and polished, to become glass.Sapphire glass is said to be twice as tough as normal glass and almost as hard as a diamond.To test the durability of the screen, it was rubbed against a stone wall and then with a coin, before being ‘scratched’ by a key.The video capturing the attempts at destruction, shows no scratches were achieved to the screen.It also withstood being rubbed with abrasive sandpaper at some force and hit by a hammer – albeit not very hard.But most impressive, was the screen’s ability to withstand an electric drill being dragged across its surface, without leaving a mark.The test led iPhoneFixed to claim: ‘Sapphire glass is pretty strong and virtually impossible to scratch’. iPhone, Samsung, Smartphone, Will it Blend iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III Get Blended It's that time again, time for another episode of "Will it Blend?" with Blendtec founder Tom Dickson. You've all seen what one of these industrial-strength blenders can do to an iPhone 4, now check out just how quickly it reduces both the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III to dust, literally.

Continue reading for the video. One of the most famous Will it Blend? creations is the "cochicken", which is half of a chicken (cooked, usually rotisserie) blended with 12 fluid ounces of Coca-Cola (without the can). Although the show's example was blended with the bones, a boneless version was made on NBC's Today and served to Meredith Vieira. Popular fan requests for the show include blending either another blender or a crowbar. It is highly unlikely that either would blend, and this probably means that neither would even be attempted, because of the nature and purpose of the show - marketing Blendtec products. A demonstration video featuring the anticipated crowbar was interrupted by a cell phone, to which Dickson responds by stuffing the entire crew's cell phones into the blender and blending them instead. On the April 3, 2007 episode, Dickson placed a camcorder in the blender, giving viewers a first-person look inside the container while being blended. Shortly afterwards, the production team, Kels Goodman and Ray Hansen, attempted to return what was left of the camcorder to Best Buy, with no success.

On the July 10, 2007, episode, an iPhone played the video intro before being blended. The resulting remains of the iPhone (which consisted of powder and a mangled metal frame), along with a brand new Blendtec blender and a DVD compilation of the commercials, were put up for auction on eBay and sold at US$901 (which was given to charity). This was repeated with an iPhone 3G on the July 11, 2008, episode, with the eBay auction including a "Will It Blend" t-shirt, an autographed jar (holding the blended remains of the phone), the box the iPhone came in (including the earphones), and a brand new Blendtec Total Blender. One of the most extreme episodes featured Dickson placing six Bic lighters in the blender. In a matter of seconds, the mixture of butane, metal and plastic ignited into a ball of fire inside the container. The scene was exaggerated by the addition of nuclear explosion film footage before one of the production crew sprayed a fire extinguisher on the still-operating blender.
