More from this brandAll Blendtec countertop blendersOverview
A commercial-grade bar blender from Blendtec built around a 90oz Wildside+ jar with cone lid and a 4.0 HP motor. It targets bars and busy home kitchens making cocktails, smoothies, and iced coffee drinks in volume.
Blendtec pairs this with blunt blade technology designed to crush ice without dulling, and a single combined switch for start, stop, and pulse.
- 90oz Wildside+ jar, cone lid
- 4.0 HP input motor
- Combined start/stop/pulse switch
- Blunt blade ice-crushing design
Who it's for
Aimed at bars or heavy home users wanting a large-capacity jar and commercial branding for frequent ice-heavy drinks. Buyers prioritizing long-term reliability should weigh the early failure reports before committing, especially given the small sample size.
Pros and cons
- Large 90oz Wildside+ jar with cone lid
- Blunt blade technology built for ice crushing
- Variable speed control for texture
- One buyer's motor lost consistent speed control after about 5 weeks of daily use
- Another unit arrived dead on arrival
Performance notes
The blunt blade design is meant to crush ice through blunt-force impact rather than a sharp edge, which Blendtec says avoids dulling over time, while the 4.0 HP motor and variable speed dial aim to give consistent texture control across drink types.
