The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is a high-end blender with a 64-ounce jar, a 2-part lid, and a tamper. Like many other products from Wolf Gourmet, which also makes other appliances like ovens and kettles, it has a bright red control dial. You can switch it out for another color if you choose since black and stainless steel options are also included. This blender doesn't include many extra accessories, but it can hot blend and comes with an 'Emulsion Cup' that helps with gradually adding liquids to a recipe. It has a wide range of speeds and a few automatic blending programs.
Our Verdict
The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is fantastic for multi-purpose use. It's very sturdy and comes with a 64-ounce jar with a 2-part lid. It does an outstanding job of processing fibrous ingredients like leafy greens into a silky-smooth puree, so you can use it to make well-blended soups or smoothies. It's great for processing hard ingredients like nuts and makes snow-like crushed ice. It can also hot blend and heat ingredients. There's only one jar included, but it comes with an 'Emulsion Cup' that you can use to gradually add liquids for recipes like hollandaise sauce.

The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is superb for single-serve smoothies. It can make a silky smooth blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients, making a well-blended smoothie even if your recipe includes leafy greens or seeds. It also makes snow-like crushed ice. However, it doesn't come with any personal jars for single-serves. The main jar is easy to clean by hand, but it's not dishwasher-safe.

The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is fantastic for making multiple servings of smoothies. If you fill the 64-ounce jar to its full capacity, it makes an extremely smooth blend with ingredients like kale, so it's very well-suited for making smoothies for the whole family. It can easily crush ice for frozen drinks like blended cocktails. That said, some blenders can process big batches of smoothies a bit faster.

The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is a fantastic ice crusher. It's well-built and doesn't take long to make snow-like crushed ice. Manually pulsing works better than the automatic 'Ice Crush' blending program, so it's a slightly more hands-on process than some blenders.

The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is incredible for soup. Its 64-ounce jar can process most recipes in one batch. You can use it to process hot ingredients right from the pan or use the 'Soup' program to heat room-temperature food as it blends. It makes a very smooth puree of fibrous ingredients, meaning it can produce a silky soup or sauce. The 2-part lid lets you add ingredients mid-blend and comes with an 'Emulsion Cup' that helps with adding liquids gradually. The jar isn't dishwasher-safe, but it's easy to clean by hand.

The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is great for professional use. It's very well-built and offers a versatile performance since it can hot blend, crush ice, and make a smooth puree with fibrous ingredients. It's also well-suited for processing hard ingredients like nuts, although its design is a little inconvenient when you need to stir the mixture because the tamper doesn't reach the sides of the jar. Otherwise, it's on the quiet side for a full-size blender and has a wide variety of speed settings.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance comes in one variant with a stainless-steel-wrapped motor base. There's a choice of red, black, or stainless steel control dials included. You can see the label for the unit we tested here.
The brand also made a 32oz jar that you can buy separately from online retailers like Amazon. That jar may perform differently for purposes like blending small batches of fibrous ingredients for a single-serve smoothie.
If you come across another variant, let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.
Popular Blender Comparisons
The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is a high-end full-size blender. The manufacturer makes a variety of other kitchen appliances and one other blender, the High-Performance Blender, an even pricier model with a digital display. The Pro-Performance is in the same price range as Vitamix models like the A2500 or A3500 and offers a premium build quality as well as a similar performance overall, but is a bit less noisy. The 'Emulsion Cup' is an unusual feature that helps with adding liquids gradually. Its blunt blade design makes it easier to clean by hand. However, its tamper isn't always helpful when you're processing thick mixtures like nut butter, and the lid requires some force to remove. Also, unlike other manufacturers like Vitamix or KitchenAid, Wolf doesn't currently sell additional jars or attachments for the blender, which may be a downside if you want accessories like personal jars for smoothies.
