3.5 HP Blenders

My lawnmower has a 4.0 hp motor. Accordingly, these power high performance blenders are certainly the best. What does the hp strength translate too when making smoothies? And why do some blenders have a 3.5 hp blender motor but only yield to a final 2.5 hp speed?

This is how we see it: Although the Waring MX1200XT (for example) has a 3.5 hp motor, its amps are at 13 and its power supply allows up to 1500 watts. This acts like a throttle, but only once the blender reaches the 13 amps and 1500 watts. Up to the about 2.5 hp speed and up to 13 amps and 1500 watts power consumption, the blender has its full 3.5 hp strength.

In order to break the ingredients down onto its cellular level and break the cell walls for optimum phyto-nutrient release, the 2 hp motor to 2.5 hp motor speed is plenty sufficient, but it takes about twice as long than with a 3.5 hp blender. The 3.5 hp motor has the torque to blend the ingredients down with its 3.5 hp blender force. It therefore reduces the blending time.

The benefit of having this throttle is that the user will never over-exert the motor while having the torque to its necessary speed. This means you will have less or even no over-heating ever and the blender does not wear out as quickly.

So, what about the Waring CB10T and the Blendtec 20 AMP smoother / ICB 7 Symbiotic blenders? These certainly allow greater speeds and the user can therefore do more things. Most of the people are not in the mode to blend a gallon or 3 liters of seeds, herbs, ice cubes, etc.... The 20 AMP Smoother with its 3+ hp net yield will blend all your seed ingredients to its cellular level, and that fast. People with ulcerative colitis have probably the best use for this kind of blender. For many others, the extra power may in most uses be an over-kill. But, if you don't use the blender to its fullest yield power, this means also, that it will hardly wear out. But I recommend that you use it if you get it. You might as well! It's not economically efficient having a 800$ or $ 900 blender sitting in your kitchen for its shiny appearance.
