Overview

- 1800 watt motor with 90 oz WildSide+ jar
- 11-speed touch slider control
- Blunt blade technology, about 80 percent thicker than standard blades
- Preprogrammed cycles for smoothies, soups and frozen drinks
Who it's for
Suits someone with a real noise constraint, an apartment, shared walls, early morning use, who wants professional-grade blending power without disturbing others most of the time. Less of a fit for anyone expecting true silence, or anyone who wants to blend continuously for long stretches without pausing to let the motor cool.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners generally rate the blend quality and relative quietness highly, with more than one calling it worth the price for households sensitive to noise. A few report the opposite experience on noise, finding it nearly as loud as a Vitamix, and a smaller number describe mechanical issues after months of use, including a leaking jar seal and a blade that worked loose.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Quieter than most blenders in this class
- Handles frozen fruit and fibrous greens easily
- Self-clean cycle with hot water is fast
- Blunt blade avoids a sharp edge, stays effective
Performance notes
The blunt blade technology, roughly 80 percent thicker than a standard blade, relies on speed and jar geometry rather than sharpness to pulverize ingredients, and the WildSide+ jar shape is designed to pull ingredients back toward the blade to avoid air pockets, though owners packing very fibrous or dense mixes still sometimes need to use the tamper to keep things moving. Continuous use can build heat in the motor, so reviewers recommend spacing out back-to-back blends.
