This is the Refurbished 1 Year Warranty Blendtec Blender it is NOT the new 3 year warranty NEW with full 3 year warranty Blendtec Blender. I have the refurbished one and I love mine it works just as well as a new one but has a one year warranty instead of a 3 year warranty but the price is very nice at $350! The Blendtec Blender is considered to be the Best Blender in the World. It has a patented "Single Blade" Design so food will not "hide", get "stuck" or get "wasted" like all other blenders that have "prongs" that are 3 to 4 prongs! Only Blendtec has the "Single Blade" which is a genius design that provides the Best blends, efficiency, performance but also easy and fun to use and clean, it actually has 3 horsepower, a Backlit LCD Digital Display, easy to use soft push buttons and is the most high tech blender and the best one that Chef Bryan Au recommends and the only one he uses. You will get the perfect blends each time, with all other blenders you will get unblended chunks. The Blendtec Blender is essential in making Chef Bryan Au's Raw Organic Recipes as it easily grinds different nuts and seeds while also making the best soups, sauces, smoothies, foods and desserts as well. Your food will reach the next Professional level, it will be super smooth and very good for you. Never again will you get unblended food or chunks. Blending makes food easier to digest, is healthier than juicing because you get all the fiber, pulp and nutrition so nothing is wasted and it allows your body to absorb sugar slowly and appropriately so you don't over work your pancreas this can happen when you "juice" because you are wasting the fiber and pulp you get too much sugar into your body and system at the same time and may "overload it". So blending is the best and most healthy.
