Blendtec Professional 800 Review

Thanks to the Blendtec Professional 800 blender, you can now prepare all those recipes and concoctions in complete peace without worrying about disturbing the neighbors or the people you live with. The Professional 800, which is also referred to as the Stealth, is the world’s quietest blender.

More than a million blenders are sold worldwide every year. One common complaint with many of these machines is that they can be very loud. It can be unbearable if you have young children, sick people, or seniors at home.

The Blendtec Professional 800 features an incredibly powerful motor, in spite of being the world’s quietest blender. The 800 has a 3.8 peak horsepower motor that efficiently blends ingredients to give you perfect juices, smoothies, hot soups, ice cream, and more. The smoothness and texture are consistently wonderful with the Professional 800, and you can use this blender for pureeing, cutting, mixing, blending, dough making, and grinding.

There are 6 preprogrammed cycles you can choose from. They are for mixed drinks, batters, smoothies, whole juice, hot soups, and frozen treats. There is also an 11-speed touchscreen slider that works from left to right with the simple touch of a finger. The Pulse feature in the control panel will further help you customize your preparations. Activate this feature to add a high-speed burst of blending power.

The Blendtec Professional 800 is one of the finest blenders on the market today. It currently has a rating of 4.6 stars out on 5 on Amazon, and 92 percent of buyers have given it a full 5-star rating.

Stealth Technology

Blendtec is marketing the Professional 800 as the quietest blender in the world, and for good reason too. This model has a 360-degree sealed sound enclosure. The container is enclosed within a second jar, designed specifically to stop noise from escaping. There is advanced sound dampening air-flow technology. Together, they prevent the loudness that other blenders emit.

The Professional 800 will max out at 67 decibels, which is ¼ as loud as a normal blender that works at 88 decibels. You won’t hear it blending in the next room, even when it is working at the highest speed – that’s how quiet this blender is. Blendtec engineers have come up with a great solution to a problem that annoys a lot of us.

If you are looking for a blender that has less bulk and don’t mind losing the noise dampening ability of the Professional 800, we’d recommend checking out Blendtec’s Professional 750 blender which is also less expensive.

The Motor and Blade

The Blendtec Professional 800 is one powerful machine. Its 3.8 peak horsepower 1,800-watt motor makes the Professional 800 almost 2.5 times more powerful than a standard blender — a hard to believe fact when you hear how quietly it operates. The 800’s powerful motor will be more than what you need for most preparations.

The container’s laser-cut stainless steel blade will work quickly to heat up your soup. It easily blends ice, raspberries, and frozen fruits. Many blenders cannot process raspberries because of the seeds. The Professional 800 will slice up cored apples in seconds. Even the toughest ingredients are not a challenge for this powerful machine.

The Blendtec 800 has a wingtip, two-pronged blade design. The wingtips break up larger ingredients, allowing a quicker blend. You can scrape out the final mixture easily because of the blade’s two-pronged design.

The WildSide Jar

You’ll receive a BPA-free WildSide+ jar with your Professional 800 blender. It has the capacity to hold 90 oz fluids. There are easy-to-read clear markings on the surface that go up to 36 oz., making measurements a snap. The container has a unique five-sided design, which creates a vortex and pulls the ingredients down into the blades. You can scrape out the thicker mixtures thanks to its square, flat-sided design.

The wide container design makes it much easier to clean than standard (narrow) blender containers.

There is a Vented Gripper lid on top of the jar that closes with a nice snapping sound. The lid allows steam and pressure to escape when you are blending sauces or hot soups. There is an opening at the center through which you can add ingredients, even when the device is blending.

Warranty

As with Blendtec’s Tom Dickson Extreme Blender, the Professional 800 comes with an impressive 10-year warranty. This is even better than the excellent 8-year warranty that’s included with the other blenders in Blendtec’s lineup. In addition to that, the company is offering a 30-day money back guarantee in case the 800 doesn’t live up to your expectations (which we can’t imagine).
