Black Classic 575 with WildSide+ jar; staged fruit and smoothie are scene props.

Blendtec Classic 575

A useful fit: A fit when you want a dedicated Smoothie and Clean cycle, two longer timed runs, stepped manual speed, Pulse and the WildSide+ jar in one new package.

Why it fits these needs
  • This operating setup is a documented countertop blender configuration.
  • Supported arrangement: New Classic 575 base with included WildSide+ jar
  • Meets your choice: Blender format: Countertop base and jar

The tradeoff: It is not the six-category Total Blender Classic: two timed cycles are not recipe-category presets, and the WildSide+ 90-ounce capacity has a recommended finished-product line at 36 ounces.

Blendtec Designer 650 with the exact advertised WildSide+ jar and Black base.

Blendtec Designer 650

A useful fit: A good candidate if you want a touchscreen menu of six named recipe cycles, eight manual speeds, Pulse and WildSide+ without requiring a dedicated Clean button or stainless base.

Why it fits these needs
  • This operating setup is a documented countertop blender configuration.
  • Supported arrangement: New Designer 650 with included WildSide+ jar
  • Meets your choice: Blender format: Countertop base and jar

The tradeoff: The maker-recommended finished-product line is 36 ounces despite a 90-ounce total jar capacity; the exact model page lists no Clean cycle, and its available 2014 family manual does not identify the current 650 SKU in its model-by-model operation sections.

Blendtec Designer 650 Gunmetal with the exact advertised WildSide+ jar and Gunmetal base.

Blendtec Designer 650 Gunmetal

A useful fit: A candidate if a dedicated Clean cycle, eight manual speed settings, Pulse, a +10-second control and a Gunmetal-labelled WildSide+ package suit your routine.

Why it fits these needs
  • This operating setup is a documented countertop blender configuration.
  • Supported arrangement: New Designer 650 Gunmetal with included WildSide+ jar
  • Meets your choice: Blender format: Countertop base and jar

The tradeoff: Its page is internally inconsistent about five versus six cycle names and about Gunmetal versus the generic molded/Black/Pomegranate specification fields; do not assume a missing sixth recipe or stainless housing.
