Spectablend BL-001 Questions & Answers
VerifiedI would like something that will replace my juicer and retain the fiber but I am worried that it won't be able to handle my carrot juices? Am I correct in thinking this?
Also, when making soup does it heat the soup or just purée it for heating? If so, are there options to keep my juices cold and my soups hot?
Thanks :)
Hi Samantha, The Spectablend would be able to handle your carrot juices. It will pulverize and blend everything well until smooth whilst retaining its fibre. However, you would need to add water or milk to liquify your drink. If you don't overblend, your blender won't heat your ingredients. Also, having frozen or cold fruits would help retain the cold.
For soups, there are two options: grill / cook vegies then blend, OR blend ingredients and bring to boil in pot. If you're a raw foodist, you'd be happy to know that the Spectablend blends up to 30 degrees celcius in heat whilst still retaining its fibre and still warm. Because it's friction-based, the longer you blend, the hotter the machine and ingredients get. Think of rubbing your palms together for a minute.
Hope this answers your questions. Otherwise please hop over to our website at external link for further information or contact us via email at info@spectablend.com.au.

My Jug started leaking after 10 months and has rusted the bearing out. This blender only gets used about 3 times per week. Should these components should last longer then this? The answerer should be yes but unfortunately it is not with my blender.
I am sorry to hear about your blender. Maybe you should contact the agent you purchased the blender from. I have been using my blender for more than a year and I have no complaints about it. I am using the blender to make smoothies, grinding peppercorns into finely ground pepper, soup and lately I iused it to grind my spices for curries. The only downside is the smell of spices still lingered in the jug despite washing it with lemon juice, vinegar and baking soda.
Yes they should. It's crap quality (([name removed]) sells the same model for 99 AUD). We threw ours out and bought a Vitamix - unbelievable difference!
I am having the same problem. My jug has already been replaced once.
Why does the contents of the spectablend heat up? Everything I make in it starts out cold and by the end of blending is very warm.
How far do you put the dial up? I only use the first couple of settings and the contents stays cool once it is mixed. In fact I have to be patient and wait a while before my soups heat up.
Spectablend's blades are friction-based so the longer it rotates its blades, content in your blender start to heat up. If this happens to you, you may want to consider what you're blending and not over-blend. Spectablend is 1500W and 35,000RPM. It is a very strong and powerful motor. Try rubbing your palms together for 1 minute and that is the same thing with the blender, it gets warm. There are some tips to prevent this: If you're making smoothie, use frozen ingredients. If you're blending nut butters, it shouldn't be a problem but maybe take breaks in between. You may also add liquid (milk or water) to ensure ingredients can be blended quickly and more efficient so you won't have to blend for a long time.
I would like to make green smoothies. Can this blender make kale smoothies?
Kornelija, most definitely! Very smooth too.
Absolutely can. This is a high powered, high speed blender. It will blitz everything, even ice cubes over and over again. Green smoothies, no problem.
Where do I purchase a spectablend BL-001 from ans how much is it.?
You can buy a spectablend directly from their website spectablend for $299 or you can bid for one on eBay. I won mine on eBay for $250. They deliver to Australia and New Zealand. Recipes are on Instagram or Facebook. I did neither but started an Instagram account and found many recipes and ideas.
Hope this helps.
