This is a red Blendtec 570 CBT2 Classic Blender with the USA Made Alterna Jar aftermarket with a tamper similar to what Vitamix propagates as an accelerator- really helpful when making paste puree sauces creams etc and you don’t want to add more liquid. The blender motor is very strong, VERY LITTLE  usage. It comes all with a 1 year residential use warranty. The Alterna Jar has a replaceable blade assembly and the material used to make it is the US Eastman Tritan Copolyester BPA Free durable plastic. It’s relatively heat resistant more and better than other food-type plastics- naturally Blendtec and Vitamix suggest you can make hot soup- We think of course while that is technically true- however are you crazy? I is still plastic. I wouldn’t do, but “they say you can”- We advise against that. Instead blend cold in the blender and then heat up on the stove. I have made raw mild warm to hot soup that way for many years. Safe and Effective!

The Alterna Jar is an aftermarket container that permits you to blend between 10 ounces to 80 ounces of ingredients.
