Operating at 9 amps and 950 watts, the OmniBlend V has more power than many common household blenders and has the ability to blend most anything. The most common question we are asked is always "how does this compare to a Vitamix or Blendtec?". If you are considering the Omni blender it is likely because you are wanting more out of your blender than a common household blender. OmniBlend Compared to Blendtec and Vitamix? While we do not recommend it, it is advertised as okay to place the container in a dishwasher as long as you do not use a hot sanitizing feature. A moist or damp cloth to wipe down the base and the container can be cleaned by running the blender with a little soap. Even so, it is nice to have the option to use a tamper rather than stopping the blender to manual push ingredients when needed.Ĭleaning is very similar to other blenders. We rarely find need to use a tamper except when making thick blends. The OmniBlender also comes with a tamper, referred to as a "Emergency Plastic Tool". It is made of a "Food-Grade Polycarbonate" and is recommended to fill only to the 50 oz mark. The container looks very similar to other high-performance blender containers although this one is not BPA-Free. The OmniBlend V comes with a 64 oz container and a 6-blade stainless steel assembly. The 90 second feature has 2 of these pauses. The 60 seconds feature has a brief pause at about the half way mark then ramps back up to high speed. Each of the 3 settings run on high speed. ![]() The timer settings are just that – a set time of blending. There are also 3 one-touch timer selections of 35, 60 and 90 seconds as well as a pulse button. You have the choice of 3 speed settings, low, med or high. The operation of the OmniBlender is straight forward. So at 950 watts the Omni Blender is actually a 1.27 horsepower blender at most when being used. According to OmniBlender calculations 746 watts = 1 hp. The information reported on the OmniBlend website is that to achieve its 3 hp, the blender would be running at 2238 watts which can only be measured when the motor shuts down due to overload. There are many ways to measure it and even more ways to report it so it has little meaning. Horsepower is a relatively useless measurement when it comes to blenders and OmniBlend proves this. If you read, or hear, about the OmniBlender one term always goes with it – "3 horsepower blender". How fast does it blend? We spoke several times with Thomas Fox, the distributor, and he would not provide any information regarding the RPM or how fast the Omni spins except to say that it is "slower speed than competitors". If you are wanting a blender to make flour this is not the one. Like most common blenders, it also has no issues with crushing ice or blending frozen drinks. It does a fine job of blending fruit smoothies and can even handle doing nut butters with the use of the tamper. ![]() If more blending is required, press pulse several times until desired texture is achieved.The OmniBlend V draws some moderate power.If your Blendtec doesn’t feature an Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt button, blend on a Low speed for 15 seconds, then blend on a Medium High speed for 30 seconds.
