What About Blendtec Certified Refurbished Blenders?
OK, we didn’t list a single refurbished blender above. In the past, we would have had one or two recommendations in this list.
But in 2018, Blendtec introduced two new blenders, the Blendtec Fit and the Blendtec Designer 650.
These two blenders lowered the entry-level price to get into the Low and Mid Budget range, so we feel they are terrific buys.
On top of that, their availability is much better than a refurbished model.
