If you’ve been shopping around for an upgrade, today is the day to invest in this high-tech blender and score maximum savings. The Blendtec Designer 650 boasts a touchscreen panel that lets you choose from eight speeds for a variety of textures, from soup to salsa. Effortlessly alternate speeds from mix to blend to customize your creations.

The Blendtec Designer 650 is everything you want in a blender: quiet, quick, and strong. Its patented stainless-steel forged blade is not messing around either: it’s 80 percent thicker and 10 times stronger than the blades you’re used to. If you prefer, the blender will even heat its contents through blade friction heat, whipping up a hot chowder in about six minutes flat.

This Blendtec beast comes with two different BPA-free jars, too. Use the 90-ounce Wildside+ jar to blend smoothies for up to six people, or switch to the 37-ounce Twister jar to blend single-serve smoothies or batches of nut butter, hummus, or baby food. Then pop in a little soap and water, and the self-cleaning jar will scrub itself clean in under a minute.
