Hello, I currently have a blender that unfortunately can no longer handle harder ingredients like nuts or seeds. Cleaning it is also always very time-consuming because it cannot be disassembled.

I am looking for a blender that can really crush everything. This includes things like peanuts, chia seeds, sunflower seeds. Apples, pears, or other fruits should not just become a puree with small pieces but be blended finely (a smooth puree).

I usually make a smoothie from these ingredients that covers a large part of my daily vitamin and mineral intake.

So here are my requirements:
-Blends nuts and seeds into “dust”
-Can crush ice
-2L (67.6 fl oz) capacity
-Easy to clean

-Quiet operation is preferred
-Automatic run time (e.g., 30 seconds) is preferred
-Glass container instead of plastic is preferred
-Quality is important

I use the appliance almost daily. Longevity is an important factor.
If it comes with glass containers for storing with secure lids, that would be an additional plus.

I can consider a price of up to 500€ but it should be a top-quality device that perfectly meets my requirements and preferences.
My target price is more around 200-300€, but even then, my highlighted requirements must be met.

I decided not to buy a Thermomix after all. The Omniblend V is already within my budget.
Are these actually the devices that can also crush mobile phones? 😀

No, that's Blendtec "Will it blend"

The Thermomix crushes almost everything, including stones, it seems. Probably even mobile phones.

It turns granulated sugar into powdered sugar, grains into flour, and ice into, well... powder snow.

Unfortunately, it costs quite a bit more than a Vitamix.

Level, and I just want to make smoothies and occasionally a clapi or something like that.

Yes, that's true. And I'm not a sales representative...
...but the resale value is significant. Just check online marketplaces to see what a 4 or 5-year-old, well-maintained TM31 is still worth. You can still get around 500 euros or more for one.

So, for me, the risk was worth it and it paid off for us. Of course, everyone has to decide that for themselves.
