Blender Showdown: 90-Oz WildSide+ Jar vs 11-Speed Touch Slider Tested

We put the Blendtec Professional 800 to the test, and it's clear this blender is engineered for both power and precision. The 90-ounce WildSide+ jar impressed us with its ability to handle thick smoothies, frozen cocktails, and even icy desserts with ease-no ice crystals, no splattering. Pairing it with the 11-speed touch slider added a layer of versatility, letting us dial in exact consistency from silky to chunky. The motor's quiet operation was a standout, especially when blending late at night; no complaints from our neighbors. Cleaning was equally straightforward, thanks to the jar's easy-to-wipe design and the blender's intuitive components. While the black finish is classic, it's the seamless blend of capacity and control that truly sets this apart. Whether you're a home chef or a pro, the Professional 800 feels like a reliable partner-powerful, efficient, and surprisingly user-friendly.
