The Purpose of the Cycle Counter
When Blendtec first went into the blender business, we only made commercial blenders. At that time, the warranty for our commercial machines was for either the number of years after purchase or the total number of blend cycles, whichever came first—similar to a car warranty that covers either so many years or so many miles, whichever comes first.
(On a related note, Blendtec recently became the only manufacturer to offer a 3-year warranty on its top commercial blenders, regardless of blend cycle count. Read about it here.)
Cycle Counter Display on Blendtec Blender
When we responded to the demand for a consumer version of our groundbreaking machine, we adapted the blender accordingly. One thing we altered was the control pad, making it more intuitive and user-friendly. The design retained the cycle count display, which ended up being a very popular feature for our home users. For many, it became a matter of pride as their blenders achieved hundreds and thousands of blend cycles, validating their decision to purchase the world's best-built blender. Just remember: The warranties on our home machines do not have a cycle restriction on them, so blend to your heart's content! How many blend cycles has your Blendtec blender achieved?
At first the counter on the Blendtec bothered me. My husband convinced me that it was good to show how much we are using it.. worth the purchase price. I no longer even look at the number, most of the time, I just enjoy using my blendtec as often as possible!
We’ve had ours for about 11 months and have almost 700 blends. That’s an average use of about twice a day! Even after a year, my Blendtec is still exciting to me!
I used my Blendtec about every other day for about 18 months. It had about 350 on the counter. One day I noticed that the counter had reset to 0. I have no idea how or why. Any thoughts?
Had mine for about 3 years now. Just went over the 2,800 mark not long ago. I use it every day I am in town and miss it so much when I am not in town.
Over 900 blends in 2.5 years. I love my Blendtec!!!!
