The OmniBlend is a heavy duty commercial blender. I am New Zealands authorised OmniBlend importer and distributor, so every machine on this page is sold, warranted and serviced here in New Zealand.
There are three models, and the thing most people get wrong is assuming one is more powerful than another. They are not. All three have the same 3hp German motor spinning the blades at 38,000 rpm, the same jug and the same blades. The only difference between them is how you tell the machine what to do.
What comes in the box
The base unit, with the 3hp German motor that spins the blades at 38,000 rpm. That speed is what turns kale stalks and frozen fruit smooth rather than something lumpy.
The mixing jug, made from virtually indestructible polycarbonate. It is scratch resistant and stable across a wide temperature range.
The tamper, use this to get the blending started, especially if you put in fruit and veges without cutting them up.
The three models, and the only real difference
OmniBlend III, the simple one
One switch, high or low. Simplest to operate. If you want a machine that does one job without a manual, this is the one to choose.
OmniBlend I, the variable speed one
A variable speed dial with a separate pulse switch. You can bring the speed up gradually instead of jumping straight to full, which gives you more say over the texture: chunky at one end of the dial, silky smooth at the other.
OmniBlend V, the one that runs itself
A touch pad for low, medium, high and pulse, plus set and forget timers at 35, 60 and 90 seconds. Press the 60 button and walk away, and it runs and stops on its own. Five out of six people choose the OmniBlend V, and it is the one I recommend.

Choosing your mixing jug
You have a choice of two jugs, the square sided one and the tall round one. Both hold 2.25L filled to the very top.
The square jug suits most people making smoothies. The flat sides make it easy to get a spatula into the corners and easy to rinse out.
The round jug is the better choice for dry work, like nut butters or grinding flour, because the base is narrower. It also takes a little more liquid at high speed, since the top of the jug sits further from the blades, so pick it if you want to blend as much as possible in one go.

Spare parts matter more than people expect. A blender you cannot buy parts such as bearings or blades for is a blender with a short life. Blades, drive sockets, carbon brushes, jugs and tampers are all stocked. See the full range of OmniBlend parts and spares, or read how to look after your OmniBlend so the blades last.
