REVOLUTIONARY NEW JAR AND BLADE – Wild Side Thursday, December 03, 2009 (67 days Ago) BLENDTEC EXPANDS HOME BLENDER PERFORMANCE WITH A REVOLUTIONARY NEW JAR AND BLADE – Wild Side New blender models offer a larger 5-sided jar with a tuned blade for increased professional performance OREM, UTAH, USA – December 4, 2009 – Already known in the industry as producing the "World's strongest blender," as seen on the Will It Blend? internet video series, Blendtec has once again raised the bar in blending performance by announcing the launch of their most aggressive blending container for home use, the Wild Side. This product expansion will enhance the performance of the Total Blender, Connoisseur, and Blendtec Home blender, providing home users with the most effective blending jar available. This new patented Wild Side;lt;/b> jar features an offset fifth side which shifts the blending vortex and produces a powerful cyclonic action. As a result, blending performance is dramatically improved and cavitation, the forming of an air pocket around the blade, is practically eliminated. "We've also redesigned the jar blade to be "greener" by optimizing blender efficiency while reducing the amount of electrical current used by the blender. This has made it possible to use this new jar and blade on our entry-level 1,560 watt home machines" said Paul Faerber, Blendtec's Engineering Manager. "These blending jars have been used for years in commercial blending applications that require our most aggressive technology", said Tom Dickson, CEO of Blendtec. "Our expansion to the home market gives our customers access to a new level of blender performance that you simply cannot find anywhere else." This new Wild Side jar and blade, combined with the advanced technology of the Blendtec motor and electronic controls, means any home kitchen can experience the power and control normally found only in professional kitchen environments.

The consumer simply places a cup in the blending alcove and pushes a button to select their drink. The Self Serve System™ (S3™) does all the work of dispensing ingredients and blending the drink, then sanitizing the blending chamber to prepare for the next consumer. When the drink is ready to serve, the blending alcove rotates back to the consumer’s reach. The consumer then removes their drink and proceeds to a checkout to make payment. "The S3™ has been researched and developed with our C-store customer in mind. It is probably one of the most thoroughly tested products we have ever introduced. It truly is a whole new concept in high quality blended drinks. We expect a high demand for the initial production capacity and look forward to increasing capacity as more customers choose to add it to their product offering," says Tom Dickson, Blendtec’s CEO. The first S3™ units have been shipped to concept stores and major chains around the country. Blendtec is pleased to be working with notable retail partners and GSS Group of Dallas, Texas as a services and management provider. The S3™ sets a whole new standard for fast and convenient blended drinks. The quality of the product is beyond what has previously existed in self-serve drinks. The S3™ enables the retailer to offer a higher margin product that compares with specialty store offerings and puts them in a whole new product category.
