Overview

Blendtec built this Designer blender around a sealed touch screen, eight speeds with pulse and six preprogrammed cycles. The WildSide+ jar adds an extra side to improve blending.

Smoothie makers and soup cooks get presets for batter, ice, smoothie, ice cream, juice and hot soup, a countdown timer and a sealed panel that wipes clean. The warranty is long. Jar capacity is missing, so batch size is a guess.

Who it's for

Families making smoothies, soups and frozen desserts get preset cycles. The timer shows remaining time. Cooks who prefer physical dials will have to use the touch panel.

Manual speeds with pulse cover textures from creamy to chunky.
