The Blendtec Classic 575 blender is decently well-built, and its blade and motor assembly feel very solid. This variant comes with a 'Spoonula' or a hybrid spoon/spatula, which is designed to easily scoop out food from the uniquely shaped jar without damaging the blades. It also has grippy feet to keep the blender from moving around too much if you're blending something more intense, like nuts or frozen bananas, at high speed.

However, some parts of the blender feel a little cheap like the control panel and the display. The display cover even appears to be peeling off our unit, which doesn't look or feel nice. There's also an exposed circuit board on the underside of the base, which you can see through a vent. If you're looking for a better-built full-size model, try the Vitamix Explorian E520.
