Overview
Blendtec's Original Designer Series bundle pairs the base blender with a 90 ounce WildSide+ jar in stainless steel trim. It runs 8 speed settings and can heat soup or drinks through blending friction in about 6 minutes.
The 90 ounce WildSide+ jar is Blendtec's larger jar option, sized for bigger batches of smoothies or soup rather than single servings. A heat-resistant Spoonula spatula is included for scraping thick blends out of the jar, and the blade is described as blunt, built to pulverize by force rather than by a sharp edge.
- 90 oz. WildSide+ jar, stainless steel trim
- 8 speed control
- Friction heating for soup in about 6 minutes
- Includes heat-resistant Spoonula spatula
Who it's for
Larger batch blending, from friction-heated soup to bigger smoothie runs, is what this bundle is built for, given the 90 ounce jar. Anyone who only needs small, single-serve blends will find that jar size excessive.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 90 oz. jar for larger batches
- Friction blending heats soup without a stovetop
- 8 speed control for consistency
- Heat-resistant Spoonula spatula included for cleanup
- Jar size may be excessive for single servings
- Blunt blade design trades edge sharpness for force
Performance notes
Friction from the blades is used to heat soup or drinks directly in the jar over about 6 minutes, without a separate heating element. The 8 speed control lets the blend consistency be dialed from coarse to smooth, and clear volume markings on the jar are meant to help measure ingredients while blending rather than before.
