Blendtec Commercial Blenders
With designs that defy convention, Blendtec has created a commercial blender for any application. These blades pulverize instead of slice, creating a smoother, more consistent end product.
Blendtec Commercial: What You Need to Know
Blendtec offers quiet units for front-of-house applications and back-of-house blenders that give chefs fine-tuned control of delicate dishes. In addition to these uniquely designed blenders, Blendtec makes equally unique accessories to clean their jars, dispense food from them, and hold them in storage.

Common Questions About Blendtec Commercial Blenders
What Blendtec blender jars should I choose?
The newest option, the Wildside+ Jar, has a patented almost-square design with a fifth side and large capacity that produces a fully blended mix in as little as 14 seconds. The patented fifth side reduces air pockets and creates a completely smooth mix. This jar is ideal for large, high-volume businesses.
The original Fourside Jar has a square shape and dull wingtip blade to create a blending vortex that crushes your mix to a smooth consistency rather than slice it. Its smaller jar capacity is perfect for those just starting out or for businesses producing lower volumes.
The Twister Jar enables you to blend thick recipes that normally slow down blenders and create lumps within your product. Its unique lid design features plastic blades that wipe the sides of the jar as you twist the lid, forcing the mix back into the blade for a smooth consistency.
Colored jars are not just for decoration. They help you avoid cross contamination with allergens by using each for a different potential irritant.
A Vitamix replacement jar is available: the Wildside+ Rebel. This jar provides the same features as the Wildside+ for Vitamix owners and was created as a safe replacement for recalled Vitamix jars.
Which Blendtec commercial blender base do I need?
The blender base options include models for those just starting out all the way to high-end, high-volume businesses making hundreds of drinks a day.
The EZ model offers high-quality results at an entry-level value. If you're just starting your business and are on a budget – or blend only a few batches a day – this is the blender to choose. This model handles moderate use at 10 to 30 blends daily. Its medium-to-high sound level is intended for use in the back of house and away from customers. This model includes two jars and 30 preprogrammed cycles.
For great performance in small spaces, the SpaceSaver model is best for medium-volume applications. With its optional sound enclosure and 30 to 60 daily blend capacity, this unit is ideal for bars and cafes that blend drinks quickly in limited spaces.
The Chef model is designed specifically for culinary professionals. Its versatile functions, preprogrammed cycles, and manual operation mode are great for complex dishes. Rated for 100+ blends per day with a medium noise level, this one is best for back-of-house use. Its user interface includes easy-to-use, preprogrammed cycles that give you the power to fine-tune the controls. The memory function enables you to save manual operation and new blend cycles.
The Q Series offers high-quality, high-volume production with a reduced noise level for front-of-house use. Optional colored jars help protect patrons with food allergies, and the included sound enclosure reduces the overall noise by nearly half, so you can make drinks at the counter or bar near customers with minimal noise irritation. A feature can be enabled to shut off the blender whenever the sound enclosure is raised.
Designed for use in areas where low noise is critical, the Stealth blender comes with 42 preprogrammed cycles and is USB-programmable for custom recipes. This blender is the only one to offer a capacitive touch interface, enabling the operator to perform complex programs with little training on the machine. The touch slider control is an innovation that grants precise speed control to the user.
What other options are available?
Quite a few accessories and dispenser options are available. The Rapid Rinser Station is a sink-mounted tool that lets you clean your jars quickly between uses and reduces water use compared to the faucet alone. The Spectacula Twister Spatula Set is designed to fit the shape of the Twister jar to scrape thick mixtures back down toward the blades.
