Blendtec Stealth 885 Commercial Blender with WildSide Jar

Overview

The Blendtec Commercial Stealth 885 pairs the company's commercial blender base with a WildSide jar, aimed at cafes, smoothie counters and other food service settings that need programmable, repeatable blends rather than a single manual speed dial.

Its defining feature is the Blend Wizard, which stores 14 custom programs on top of 42 pre-programmed cycles, plus USB programmability for loading or adjusting recipes without reprogramming each machine by hand. A fully enclosed sound dome is meant to cut blending noise for front-of-house use, and Blendtec backs the unit with a 3-year parts and labor warranty.

Who it's for

Commercial kitchens, juice bars and smoothie shops that want staff to run consistent drink recipes at the touch of a button rather than judging blend time by eye. It suits businesses more than home cooks, given its 1800-watt, 15-amp commercial power draw.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The tactile touch interface runs 42 programmed cycles alongside 14 custom Blend Wizard programs, so staff select a drink rather than guessing at timing. USB programmability lets an operator update or add recipes across the machine without manual button-by-button setup. At 1800 watts and 15 amps on a 120V circuit, it needs a dedicated commercial outlet, and the enclosed sound dome is designed to keep that power level from being disruptive at a counter.
