Our Verdict

Vitamix 7500

Blendtec Designer 725

The Vitamix 7500 is a better blender than the Blendtec Designer 725. The Vitamix is better built, quieter, and has a more versatile performance since you can use it for hot blending. It makes much smoother nut butter. However, the Blendtec comes with a personal jar for single-serve drinks like smoothies, and using that jar does a better job of processing small batches of fibrous ingredients like kale.
