The Blendtec Professional 800 combines a 3.8 HP motor with Stealth quiet technology and a generous 90 oz jar, delivering top-level performance for smoothies, soups, and frozen treats.

The Breville Super Q (Black Stainless Steel) delivers commercial-grade 1800 W power with a large 68 oz pitcher and noise-suppression technology, making it suitable for high-volume blending.

Professional reviewers highlight the Blendtec Pro 800 as the quietest high-performance blender on the market, emphasizing its Stealth enclosure, 3.8 HP motor and safety-focused blunt blade. They commend the intuitive touch interface and six preprogrammed cycles for versatility, while noting the unit's heft, high amperage draw and limited color options as trade-offs.
Everyday users consistently praise the blender's whisper-quiet operation, powerful blending of frozen and hot items, and the long 10-year warranty. Common themes include appreciation for the large WildSide+ jar and precise touch slider, with occasional complaints about weight, lack of a tamper and the learning curve for manual controls.
“VERY quiet and pretty much blends ANYTHING... Worth every penny!”
“The quietness will make you smile”
Professional reviewers from RTINGS.com and Breville's own marketing highlight the Super Q's commercial-grade build, 1,800 W motor, and large capacity, giving it a 9.3/10 rating for handling tough, fibrous ingredients and hot blends. While praised for being quieter than many rivals, experts suggest Wolf Gourmet for users who prioritize the lowest possible noise.
Everyday users love the blender's ability to produce ultra-smooth smoothies, soups, and ice-crushed drinks, noting the convenience of the personal jar and the overall reliability. Recurring frustrations center on the need for multiple blending cycles, the unit's bulkiness, and noise that, while reduced, is still audible.
