With the 20 amp blender and new 5 sided container with a 4 inch blade, you will

never have to use a stick to push food into the blade. Imagine clearning the pressed food out.

I will do everything in my power to make sure blending enthusiasts

do not get scammed when buying a blender.

It doesn't matter how much horsepower our blender has if

you don't have the amperage to power it.

Horsepower Scams:

1 horsepower = 745.699872 watts

How in the world can a 1500 watt blender be 3 HP?

1500 watts is not even 2 hp, not even 2+hp that

some manufacturers claim.

We have a 2400 watt, true 3.2 input horsepower blender

and we can make the claims and not lie about it.

Do the math and you will see what Phoney HP is.

or... just call me... I will be glad to tell you what is really going on.

Research on Horsepower as it pertains to blending...

Do your research on motors or call an engineer and you will see that some of the manufacturers

that make 3hp blenders sold on the market today are not truly 3hp blenders the way you might think of them as.

People believe many false beliefs just like they believe raw cashews are raw. Another example is agave nectar. It might be raw but last time I checked it came out clear out of the cactus. It does not come out brown or amber colored. Oxidation from dehydration occurs when they are trying to preserve it. So, it might be raw but it can be oxidized to the point where it doesn't matter if it is cooked or raw.

Another example is white table sugar. Only if people knew that this came from cows (bone char acts as a bleaching agent to make the sugar white; calcium from the femurs and other bones run the sugar and make it white. That is how sugar gets its white color)

Ok, back to blending 101!

If you don't believe me you can call any motor manufacturer and they can tell you how the horsepower marketing scams are meant to

deceive customers into thinking their motors are the best.

Lambamatech is the largest motor company in the world. They recently bought GS Electric Signal Motors who makes the motors for the blender we sell

and many other blender motors on the market.

Commercial Blender Scams

It upsets me when a customer calls a manufacturer and asks to buy a commercial blender and the manufacturer won't sell them one unless they have proof of a business that it will be used in, a tax ID, a business liscense, and business references. They make it almost impossible to buy a factory made commercial blender. I know the reason for this and it is easy for figure out.

Residential blenders usually have a 3 year residential warranty and commercial blenders usually have a 3 year commercial warranty also.
The manufacturers tell me that residential blenders and their commercial blenders carry the same warranty.
The scam is this:
1 year residential warranty is not the same as a 1 year commercial. Commercial blenders are used all day long while residential blenders are used maybe a few times a day. Based on my research, a 1 year commercial warranty is usually equivalent to a 5 to 7 year residential warranty. In other words, 1 year commercial is equal to a 5 to 7 years residential. I would never try to put a residential blender with a 3 year warranty in a smoothie bar and expect it to last for 3 years. Also, residential blenders have an automatic cut off switch that shuts down the blender if it gets too hot to prevent it from burning out or causing a fire.

I believe that this cut off switch which kicks in faster on residential models than commercial models due to the absense of a high powered cooling fan prevents commercial operations from using the blender all day long ina a smoothie bar or other commercial setting. Otherwise, stores would be using the residential blenders that are cheaper and the manufactor would constantly have to replace them and lose alot of money. But, just the opposite happens when residential users buy a commercial blender. They tend to last longer than the manufacture wants them to last since they were
built extra heavy duty for commercial use in the first place. They don't want the commercial blender to last residential users 15 to 25 years. They have a 3 year warranty on them since they want you to replace it every 3 to 7 years. I believe that if the manufacturers' intentions were from the heart and focused on the needs of the end users and not the "dollar" then they would sell blenders that had more lifetime and also believe that people would pay more for a better quality blender that lasts longer and that performs better. The 20 AMP blender is made without money being a factor. It is made with the highest standard in blending technology today. It is made for the people looking for the ultimate best that technology can deliver today.

One of my customers was told that theyneeded a plunger to push the almonds into the blade and that they couldn't grind almonds into flour without water to make it whirlpool. Well, this video will prove to the store that lied to them to sell them a different blender that they were WRONG

Biggest Blender Scams Revealed

As a blender enthusiast, I am on a mission to uncover all the scams the manufactures don't want you to know about their blenders.

After becoming aware that I have been lied to about the blenders that I sell on Blindguru.com, I am choosing to no longer promote them

or sell them once my stock is gone.

Lie # 1: Speed of blade.

They claim the speed is 37,000 or 45,000 or whatever they want you to believe and yes, they are good at making you believe the blender can actually go that fast. They fooled me too.

Almost everyone believes a blender can reach those speeds. Even if they are only talking about the bare motor speed and peak horsepower, they make that intentionally misleading too. It's just misleading in every way and they get you to spend your money that way.

Here is how they manipulate the facts.

Factor 1: The container

For example, 45,000 RPM blender speed is bare motor speed WITHOUT a container on it. Having a container on it slows down the peak 45,000 rpm speed almost in half.

Factor 2: Food

Then, when you put food in container it slows it down even more. The amount it slows down depends on how many amps the blender can take in.

Factor 3: AMPS

Even if its a 50 HP blender that goes a million RPM's it doesn't matter if it can't bring in the power to handle it. That's why they make 3 HP or 3.5 HP blenders with 13 amps, 15, amps, 18 amps, and 20 amps.

Factor 4: The blade

A crossblade has 2 perpendicular blades with 4 wingtips A single blade has 2 wingtips.

Having a cross blade instead of 1 blade means that twice as many blades are hitting the food therefore slowing the blade down even further. The less blades you have the faster the wingtip speed. The more blades you have on a blender the harder the motor has to work. If blending to break the cell walls of the food to the micron level I choose the single blade for the highest wing tip speed.

Picture here:

Factor 5: The fan

But, it gets even worse, the 45,000 or 37,000 RPM speed that they rate the motor bare motor speed at is simply that. This speed is rated WITHOUT the fan on the motor. The fan is mandatory so that the blender won't burn out or smoke within seconds of use. This is not a fair RPM measurement. Why would they test a motor without a fan and why would the consumer care what the speed of it is without a fan or the container on it. That is not practical.

Factor 6: Power supply

The power of the blender motor is tested under extreme power supply conditions (240 volts, not the 110 volts that most households have). Don't you want a motor rating based on the power supply that you will be using in your house? It doesn't matter if the motor is rated at 200,000 RPMs if you don't have the power supply to handle it.

Factor 7: Blow up speed

Here is how they get the PEAK RPM speed.

The blender that was rated 37,000 RPMs gets that rating at the explosion rate in a lab. The blender is driven to the point where at its peak bare motor speed, with no fan, no container, 240 volts, in a below freezing room in a lab, the motor blows up. They use a tachymeter to measure RPMs at the bare motor speed just before the blender explodes and sends the commutator bars shooting off the motor. If you weren't protected these commutator bars would shoot out at such a speed where it would penetrate the blender and go right through your heart.

If you want to learn more about what we have uncovered about high powered blenders please read the rest of site. If you want to see the marketing that I did based on the misinformation I was told go to my other Blender page. This website is not intended to harm the marketing of other blenders nor the sales of other stores. This is my personal diary of the information that I collect from my research on blending. I am a blending enthusiast and simply using this website as a notepad for my work. Legally, I have to say this, "My facts are based on my own research through engineers, calling up motor manufacturers, talking to manufactures of blenders, seeing lab results, and my own personal experiences. My facts are what I believe to be facts based on educated decisions I have made based on my research. What I say or my facts may or may not be 100% accurate but it is the best to my knowledge". Just in case some company wants to get mad at me for making a false claim or they don't want the public to believe an actual fact I had to type this on here for my protection.

When you know the facts it is less likely that you can be decieved.

Fact:

Most smoothie bars ask for a special blade that will pump air into a smoothie so that they can use 12.5 ounces of ingredients when serving a 16 ounce smoothie. Next time you get a smoothie, let the cup sit until all the air bubbles are gone and then claim the rest of your smoothie that you were cheated. You will notice that the 16 ounce cup that was almost over flowing will now have settled in the cup and your smoothie will be missing about a half of a cup of volume.

Fact:

High blender speed is detrimental if you have no control over it. The problems with high speed blenders is cavitation. If you food doesn't cycle through the blade it doesn't matter how power the blender is. With the new dual 4 inch wingtip design you don't need a stick to push the food down into the blade. Uniform blending is when all the food goes through the cycles meant for that smoothie. For example, if you use a stick to push the food into the blade, at this high speed of the blade between each time you push the food into it, the food that was blended gets over blended each time until you push the next batch of food into it. The best way to blend is to have control over the blender and not have it cavitate without the need for you to manually push the food into it. New blade designs have came out to replace the crossblade. The wing tip speed on the single blade goes so fast on the 20 amp blender that it would strip a blender motor if that container was put on a motor that was not designed for it.

Watch this video to see what we mean by cavitation and lack of control.

NOTE: A blender is not a food processor. The goal for picking out a blender is to micronize the food

to the particle level. A food processor has an RPM speed of almost a 1/10th of a blender but it has

a greater wingspan that has enormous wingtip speed. If you want to do food prep only in a blender get a food processor. If you want to do food processing and blending then get a crossbreed.

Fact:

10.5 amps= 1.7 HP, not 2+php (Phony Horse Power)

Under extreme conditions it is possible to manipulate and twist and turn physics

to come up with PHP. (Remember, PHP is not the same thing as HP).

Peak (Phony) Horsepower does not equal Horsepower

Fact:

The wing tip speeds that were measured were based on a commercial digital tachymeter.

OXIDATION THEORY
Many companies say to use a stick to force the food into the blade. This is what they say to make other companies look bad that tell you to

add water to the smoothies. The other blenders can blend foods that you normally couldn't blend in a different blender due to the stick pushing the food into the blade. They don't mention the fact of oxidation and heat causes by lack of water coating the food at such high blending speeds.

We prefer to use water as an aqueous solution so the food is not allowed to oxidized. Water acts as a buffer that coates the food while it is blending.
This is similar to putting fluids into your car so your car doesn't overheat. If we ran our car without oil we would see what happens.

Many smoothie bars often call us for special blades that will whip more oxgyen into smoothies

so they can serve less ingredients and just fill it up with a lot of air.

TEST: We blended an apple in a blender requiring a stick so it won't cavitate with no water and then blend another apple in that same blender blender but this time we added just enough water to blend the apple without a stick. We sat both smoothies on a table at room tempurature and we will let you guess which apple smoothie turned brown and oxidized the quickest..

How much has your smoothie oxidized. Next time think twice before blending it without water.

With the new 4 inch wing blade and larger based container we have no use for the older style containers with the stick to prevent cavitation.

AMP Theory:

Blender vary in power depending on the main factor, the amperage.
To get a 4 inch wing blade we need at least an 18 amp. We cannot drive a 4 inch blade in a blender that is under 18 amps and have it comply to the safety standards of UL listings and NSF approval. The 20 amp Micronizer Blender requires a heavier guage cord and wiring to handle the bigger electrical loads.

The way I was told about 3hp blenders is that it is not just about having a 3hp or 3.5 hp blender and you have a good blender. There are other factors involved and there are different varieties of 3hp and 3.5 hp blenders for different uses.

I was told it's like this:
10-12 amps - Toyota (Camry)
12-13 amps (1,500 WATTS) - BMW 3 series
15 amps (1,800 WATTS)- Porsche, Mercedes 600SL, BMW 7 series
18 amps (2,000 WATTS)- Lamborghinni, Ferarri
20 amps (2,400 WATTS) - Lamborghinni, Ferarri with the torque of a Hummer (It can go as fast as a race car but the offroad or towing capacity of a Hummer)

If this blender were suddenly turned into a car it would probably look something like this

Batmobile

The 20 amp Micronizer Blender has a 4 inch wing tip that reaches speeds over 330 MPH, almost double the wingtip strength of the other blades that have a lower powered engine.

A 3 inch blade in a 3+ HP, 20 amp blender will reach a peak tip speed of 260 MPH.

A 2HP motor can drive its blade at nowhere near 333 MPH maxing out at 217 mph.

Wingtips at speeds of 333 MPH will pulverize almost anything it comes in contact with.

As a reference point, the level 10 setting on the 2hp or 3hp blenders under 13 amps is like the low setting on the

20 AMP Micronizer Blender.

Sure, many people will get a 3.5 hp blender with 13 amps but it has a 2 1/2 inch blade.

This blender cannot power a 4 inch blade at the 330 mph and over wingtip speeds.

No other blender in the world has 20 AMPS.

If you have used a 3HP 13 AMP blender, you can imagine what a 20 AMP can do.

The 20 AMP blender is not by HP. The company that builds these doesn't go by pHP (phony horsepower).

They don't measure the HP by taking off the fan and running it to the explosion point of the motor.

I've learned that most of the 3HP and 3.5 HP ratings are not based on "real world" blending.

The blenders in this league are not rated by Horsepower. We sell commercial 2 HP food processors that cost around $4,000...and it weighs almost 50 lbs.

The more AMPs that a blender can pull in the faster it can spin the blade and maintain that speed. If you had a 20HP blender and it only draws in 13 amps it would only be as powerful as the amperage it takes in.

Imagine the 20 AMP motor like a Lamborghinni/Hummer. If you aren't putting in good fuel then no matter how powerful the car is it will only run as good as the gasoline you put in it. Try running a high performance car on regular gasoline. Then try Plus grade. Then try Premium. You will see the difference. Even though the car is the same, the fuel sources affect the power that the car can handle. The gas to a car is like amperage to a blender.

Our custom made 20 AMP Hybrid Micronizer Blender can be made to fit any type of plug.

You can buy an adapter to use the 20 AMP blender for $1.00.

The Micro Jet

Yes, if you have a few hundred thousand dollars to invest in a

air powered jet blender that allows no heat build up due to

the cool air jets, then you might be interested in one of these.

This will blend food to the 1 micron level.

Motor Theory:

A Watt has 2 parts, Volts and Amps. Individually, they do not express power. When you say 12.5 Amps, you are merely assuming typical U.S. household voltage, which is anywhere between 110V and 120V. Volts x Amps = Watts. Electrical power is that simple. Just do the math, and you can compare apples to apples. The 3+hp blender is more noticeably powerful than the 3 peak hp. While there may be mechanical differences affecting the efficiency of converting electrical power into mechanical power, the wattage is the starting point.

Every electromagnetic device works more efficiently when cold. This is because hot wires have more resistance. Since resistive power losses are a function of current squared, more power is lost to heat in a hot wire. Motor efficiency and longevity improve with better cooling.

Quieter bearings mean that less energy is spent making noise, from friction which produces heat, and from lateral force. On a computer hard drive, this can be appreciable.

Drag is a function of mechanical resistance, not electromagnetic force (apart from inductive reverse EMF, which is not at issue here). A direct drive motor system will have less drag than a geared system. A long drive shaft will have more dynamic energy loss due to torsion tension (acts like a spring), than a short drive shaft, making the 3+ HP blender better than the less powerful blenders.

Most high powered blenders that we have owned have burned out

within a few years after the warranty period.

Now, finally, a blender has a closed loop system.

Before we relied on a thermostat to shut off the blender when it got too hot to avoid burning out the motor or that "smoke smell" that we get when we overwork the motor.

A closed loop system senses not only the tempurature but overload signals also.

The old style blenders simply turned off when it got too hot. This blender does safety checks

several times a second so it can monitor what you are blending based on what we are blending.

If we put a hammer handle in the blender in the old style blenders, the motor will start drawing in so many amps to cut through the hammer until finally the motor gets so hot that the machine turns off automatically. With the custom buttons on the new blender, the blender knows what you are blending and knows how many amps to draw.

If the hammer is stuck in the 20 AMP blender, it will sense that something is in the way and the motor will automatically stop before it gets overheated. This works just the opposite of the open loop blenders.

It's kind of like playing pinball when a ball gets stuck and the pinball machine starts moving all of its parts to find out where the ball is to push it out.

The lifetime of a blender is dependant on how hot it gets.

When we used a 13 AMP 3HP blender to do almond milk and then we do the same amount of almond milk in a 20 AMP blender, the 20 AMP blender doesn't hav to work has hard as the smaller motor.

The bigger the engine the less wear and tear on the motor each time you use it.

Also, to increase the lifetime on the containers, we want the least amount of harborage points.

The 20 AMP blender has the least amount of these points than any other blender. A harborage point are places like cracks in the blender or container that food can get in that cloggs it up, such as food getting in that crack where the blade spins. The 20 AMP blender is so easy to clean that you don't even need the red container brush. There are no harboring points in the 20 AMP container.

Almost everyone wants to know why such a powerful blender is needed.

We have taken an ORP meter and tested the electrical charge of a smoothie after it is blended.

The "life" or value of a smoothie is directly related to how long it is blended for and at what speed.

Some of the questions we receive from other blending enthusiasts

"If I blend for 2 minutes at a medium speed or I blend at the high speed of the 20 AMP Micronizer Blender for 15 seconds, which has the lowest ORP?"

"How do the cycles or using a dial play a part in oxidation of the nutrients or heating of a smoothie?"

"Should I chill my ingredients before I blend or does it matter?

"To get a desired ORP, is it better to blend a 48 ounce smoothie at once or blend twice and do 24 ounces at a time?"

Due to reasons prohibited from the manufactur that we agreed to follow, we cannot show these videos and had to take them down.

Please do research on ORP if you want to learn about it. We do discuss ORP in our tele conference.

Watch how the dual tip blade does not require a stick to move the ice around and how it compares to a 13 AMP blender with wing tips almost half the size.

The most efficient blade configuration on the market.

Optimized for a symbiotic relationship between drag and lift.

The blade is designed to decrease drag by decreasing the amount of impact of the wings (not wing tips) on the food that is being blended. The less the blade comes in contact with the food the faster the wingtips can spin. In our experience, having a cross blade (4 blades) creates excessive drag and prevents the high wingtip speeds. The more blades that touch the food the slower the blade can go. Many people think 4 blades chopping the food is better than 2 blades. The opposite is true. It takes more power from an engine to drive 4 blades that 2 blades. The goal is to control the wingtip speed and have the speed that we need to break the phytochemicals out of the cell walls. A crossblade does a good job but the dual tip blade does an excellent job.
Blade Limitations
Blenders have a limited amount of power that can be used to rotate the blades of such blenders in a blending medium. Generally, the blending medium includes both liquids and solids, and the purpose of a blender blade is to homogeneously mix the blending medium provided in a blender pitcher. A blender blade is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation, and normally includes two wings extending in opposite directions from a center portion. The leading edges of the wings are provided with cutting edges, and the wings are oriented at compound angles with respect to the center portion to provide the blender blade with a compound angle of attack.

As the blender blade rotates within the blending medium, the cutting edges define a cutting path, and the wings generate flow of the blending medium. Such flow can be characterized as a vortex which is used to blend the disseparate components of the blending medium together. The flow generated by the wings due to rotation of the blender blade draws the blending medium through the cutting path to homogeneously mix the blending medium, and grind any solids entrained therein using the cutting blades. For example, if the wings are twisted such that the leading edges are vertically oriented above the trailing edges, then rotation of the blender blade repeatedly draws the blending medium (including the solids) through the cutting path. As such, the rotation of the blender blade continuously draws the solids downwardly through the cutting path, and thereafter, pushes the solids upwardly along the interior surfaces of the blender pitcher. Consequently, the blending medium is homogeneously mixed because the solids are continually ground and mixed with remainder of the blending medium through rotation of the blender blade.

Because there is a limited amount of power available from commercial or household electrical receptacles, the efficiency of the blender blades is determined by the blender blades ability to generate flow to homogeneously mix the blending medium using the limited power available.

Oftentimes, the configurations of blender blades have inherent tradeoffs embodied therein. For example, to increase the amount of lift imparted on the blending medium, and increase the ability of a blender blade to draw the blending medium through the cutting path, the wings can be specially configured. As discussed above, the wings are typically oriented at compound angles with respect to the center portion to provide the blender blade with a compound angle of attack. As such, each of the wings is twisted such that its leading edge is vertically oriented above its trailing edge, and angled such that its distal end is vertically oriented above the center portion. Up to a threshold, the greater the angles of the wings, and, most importantly, the twists of the wings, the greater the amount of lift associated with the blender blade.

However, increasing lift produces a tradeoff because a greater amount of viscous resistance is generated when the twists and angles of the wings are increased. For example, a greater amount of blending medium impacts the bottom portions of the wings when the wings are twisted and angled as such. The more viscous resistance generated by impact of the blending medium on the bottom portions of the wings, the more drag which is imparted on the blender blade. Drag decreases the efficiency of the blender blade by decreasing the amount of flow generated thereby given the limited amount of power available. As such, the amount of lift generated by the blender blade is directly related to the amount of drag imparted on the blender blade, and therefore, is directly related to the amount of flow generated.
