This sensational blender has 700 watts of blending power with wonderful programmable features. This blender is in a class of its own. The blender has a touch pad system for operating the blender. There is also an awesome programmable feature that many other blenders do not have. Coffee makers have programmable features, so this blender came just in time. There is a precision timer on the blender. Users can set their blender for a certain time and the blender cuts of at the end of the cycle. A smoothie mixes perfectly in seconds. Salsa goes from blender to table in seconds. This saves the user time and energy. There is no longer a need to stand over the blender and guess of the right mixing speed. This mixer has a brain and does it all for you.
The blender has a great wide mouth jar and the leak-proof top is safe and secure. There is no mess to clean up from a leaky spout. The only drawback to the wide jar is the small blades. The blades are the same size used on blender with half the capacity as this one. This poses a problem when mixing. The blade is not wide enough to grab all of the solids in the pitcher. Some solids push to the side of the pitcher and do not chop and blend properly. The consumer has to stop the process and use a spoon to stir the ingredients and continue blending. There is an easy solution to the problem. Add a little ingredients at a time until all ingredients are in the pitcher.
The blender is not as noisy as other blenders in the same class. The blender also comes with a 3-year warranty, which is also the best in its class. The pitcher and lid are both dishwasher safe. The pitcher disassembles from the base with just a twist. The price is a little on the pricy side.
For under $140 dollars, this blending is an okay buy. The functions are quick and easy to understand and learn. For the most part, this is a great blender for occasional use. This is not the right blender for heavy usage. This blender makes wonderful smoothies and soups in no time. A low noise, low maintenance blender like this one is rare. Overall, this is a great blender, but the same functions are available on less expensive blenders.
