From The Manufacturer

Let’s talk about time for a moment, it’s the one thing in life that is given equally to everyone. Regardless of our circumstances, jobs, or family commitments we all have exactly 24 hours to use each day. Time is precious and fleeting. It will not wait for any of us to use it up or share with others. Cooking meals and cleaning dishes takes effort and a lot of time. Day-after-day meals need to be made, and then the cleanup begins. It’s a necessary part of life. Blendtec blenders significantly reduce meal prep time and cleanup. When you buy a Blendtec blender you’re not only buying the world’s most advanced blender, you’re also buying yourself more time. How can a blender give you more time? It comes down to technology and design. Our advanced technology and jar design create a vortex, which pulls food towards the blade instead of pushing it to the sides of the jar like our competitors. With Blendtec jars, you won’t waste time tending your blends with a tamper to get all the ingredients down into the blades, and no tamper means one less thing to clean when you’re done. Blendtec blenders can also heat your food during the blend cycle. For instance, if you want soup for dinner, a Blendtec blender can blend it up and heat it up at the same time so it’s ready to serve straight from the blender jar. No need to heat your soup in a pan. Can your old blender do that? No pan and no additional heating time means less cleanup. Not only can Blendtec blenders heat your food, they can also make ice cream. Actual ice cream can be made with the exact same blender that makes soup. Drinks, appetizers, main courses, and desserts can all be made with the same blender using the same jar. The time it takes to make each course could be measured in seconds not minutes or hours. Cleanup for an entire multi-course meal could be as simple as pushing the pre-programmed, self-cleaning button to wash a single jar, and just like that, you’ll be done.There is a reason that having the world’s most technologically advanced blender is worth every penny, it gives you more time to focus on life and the people who matter to you.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Excellent at making frozen drinks and grinding coffee beans. Can blend ingredients with ice to make a frozen dessert. Comes with preprogrammed settings, including one for ice crushing. As the blender runs, a built-in digital timer counts up the time. The jar can be positioned for left- or right-handed people. It's very easy to pour the blended ingredients out of the jar. The blade is not removable, eliminating a step before using and before and after cleaning. The smooth controls are easy to use and are crevice-free for easy cleanup. Dishwasher-safe. Comes with a spiral-bound recipe book and DVD
The Blendtec Designer Series WildSide Blender can juice, grind, mix, and blend with the best of 'em. It is, in fact, among the best of 'em.

What reviewers didn't like

The manual is not particularly helpful. The controls are confusing, as you touch any programmed pad to stop operation. Too fast and powerful to use for chopping. Cannot make a hot beverage, soup, or sauce that is hot enough to be palatable. Very noisy during use. There's no cord storage
The thing costs $454 and it really works best with larger serving sizes. In other words, you better be prepared to make a ton of food to justify this purchase.
-
Some users mentioned that the lightweight blender moved quite a bit when in use.
Did not pass ice durability test.
Noisy during use. No cord storage. Relatively high price -certified refurbished units are much better value. Jar gets scratched easily if using abrasives to clean (not necessary)
Noisy. No tamper. More expensive than many other blenders.
