I’ve seen lots of “look-alike” blenders. What is the difference?

The OmniBlender is such a good machine that they are now many companies purchasing in volumes sufficiently high that JTC will produce them with different brand names. Some examples include models in the following ranges: Lexsun, Vitality4Life Biochef, and more. Some older Optimum models were also made by JTC.

Our manufacturer follows very strict quality control guidelines.

You say that this blender is as good as Vitamix but it’s only one third of the price. How can it be as good?

There are several reasons for this – the Vitamix is manufactured in the USA where labour costs are high. With an obligatory standard 7-year (for domestic users only) warranty Vitamix has to cover the anticipated repairs under warranty .. plus there is the marketing machine, which costs big money.

By contrast Omniblender is manufactured in China, where labour costs are lower. Accordingly, this also allows better quality control.

The standard 2-year warranty covers commercial use and domestic users can pay a small premium for extending the warranty if they wish. Omniblend NZ imports the Omniblender direct from the manufacturer and direct-sells to the end user, so by cutting out the “middle-man” the costs are lower.

FAQ

What model should I choose?

First select the best jug for your purposes by using the following check list:

Do you want to blend small volumes?
- 2.0 L jug has a narrower base and therefore is better for small quantities.
Do you want easy cleaning?͐
- 1.5 L jug is easier to remove contents and to clean.͐
- Electronic control panel is flat and wipes clean easily. The manual models have switches.
Do you plan to make sorbet/ice cream often?͐
- Both jugs work, but the 2.0 L jug is the preferred jug, particularly if you are making small quantities.
Do you have a limited amount of space under the cupboards?͐
- The model with 1.5 L jug is considerably shorter than the 2.0 L jug at just 42 cm high.
Do you want to be able to use a sound-reducing enclosure?͐
- The OmniShield is designed specifically for machines with the 1.5 L or 1.5L B-jar. You’ll want to use the electronic model so that it switches off automatically.
Is BPA-free important to you?͐
- Both the 1.5 L jug & the 2.0L jugs are made with BPA-free materials. Both are also available made from certified food-safe (to 130 deg C) polycarbonate (on order only)
