I totally lust after the Blendtec.
If I intended to pay anywhere near full price, there would be no contest.
As far as break-in periods, it is probably true for any type of mechanism.

Ok so I've been using mine for a few months. Light use, several times a week.
After clean clear water blend for several minutes, I poured slowly into a white plate. Inspecting every pour looking for anything odd.
Conclusion? Was completely free of any black bits.
So if it's just a break in period, I suppose all my black bits were ingested long ago as parts of booze smoothies.

Glad to hear the news Halverson... I'll keep blending water in my current jar... and see if it clears up...

Maybe you should try blending something more solid? Perhaps material would clean out the gunk faster. Then try a water test again after a good clean.
i don't know what else to put in there.. wood?
I looked at a Vitamix but went for a Magimix.Show Image(http://www.hoflandgrootkeuken.nl/1940-3486-thickbox/magimix-le-blender-mat-chroom.jpg)
It was like a third or less of the price of Vitamix/Blendtec (not that that was a huge consideration) but more importantly doesn't look like something from 1978/1991.

You don't match your household items with your 80/90s keyboards?

No problems with my Vitamix 750 (or pieces of plastic in the mix.) Which one did you get TP?
Just blend darker stuff :thumb:. You probably inhale more particulate going for a 30 minute run.
I have been known to eat a carne asada burrito with grease still on my hands from working on my car. I also firmly believe in the 5 second rule (unless there is obvious foreign matter in which case it gets dusted off.)

I realize ^^^ that is the manly way to go... I'd probably be on man-card probation if it weren't for all my power tool use..
I am trying to determine.. HOW BAD would it be to ingest some rubber gasket..

Realistically, probably not bad at all. They would not use anything that would be toxic, and these Vitamixes have been used in the food industry for years.
What is black stuff made of?
UPDATE 04/17/2014:
Received brand new replacement blade and container..
Ran the same test, blended clear water, poured into white table-plate..
I got black-dust on the first 2 runs... 4 minute blends per run.. scrubbed and rinsed between each blend cycle.
3rd run, still black dust
4th run, still black dust..Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/woa-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862526)

I forgot to ask. What kind of water are you using, just tap? You made sure it's not dust from your water right?

YES.. This was also a suspect when I tested my first container..
So, I actually blended bottled water, a whole gallons worth..
I checked my tap for black dust, but the test with bottled water was just to be sure..
I got black dust even with the bottled water.Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/sigh-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862519)

Can you take pics of the black dust?
I just did another test with less water and let it sit. There were a few flaws in my water, being just some dust or what not from either plate or blender. But nothing that resembled black dust/rubber sand.
Holy fack! Well I have definitely not seen anything resembling that. So...f'd up!

It's to fine to capture with my point and shoot camera.....Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/whaaat1-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862525)
But could you describe what you see in your plate test..
For me it's very fine black bits...

My blend cycle varies between 3-5 minutes.. the settling in the plate, you should only have to wait 30-40 seconds

Oh maybe that's it. I think most I waited was 2 minutes, maybe a bit more. Never let it run for 5 mints straight.

I caught the dust on camera... this was very hard to catch ...
But it looks like this... This is from the SECOND.. Jar

Wow you're Blendtec experience is totally different from mine. We've done berry sorbet, almond milk, almond butter, and tons and tons of smoothies with fibrous stuff like celery. Never fails to get it all buttery smooth and never had a gasket problem. :confused:
So why would someone use a blender for dough? Don't have a mixer? Or is there some advantage? We just use our mixer with dough hooks, because we thought that was the proper tool. Should we be using our blender??

There's no advantage to using a blender with dough.. in fact it's bad for the blender, as it was not designed for long continuous operation which dough may require..

From every comparison review I've seen Vitamix > Blendtec every single time. Although their design is ugly as sin, apparently Vitamix is the blender that nutritionists, doctors, and chefs recommend.
I still think your crazy for spending that kinda dough on a blender when you can get BOGO blenders at Big Lots 2x for $14.99.

Nawh.. I'm Jking.. I dont' give a damn..
I think "eating simply" is probably more conducive to health than the "processed / unprocessed" "organic/ inorganic" debate..
So do you have to periodically relube?
So you have gone from having visible black dust to invisible white lube (or dust?). Are you satisfied with that?
