Know before you buy
Yes, the blender includes a patented pan guard that snaps onto the blending arm. This attachment prevents the stainless steel blades from scratching or damaging your non-stick cookware.
Yes, the 8-inch removable blending arm is dishwasher safe. For best results, we recommend rinsing it immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the blades.
This model features a variable speed trigger switch. You control the intensity by how hard you press the trigger, allowing you to easily adjust the speed from a gentle stir to a high-speed puree without stopping.
The 3-cup blending jar is BPA-free and designed for blending and storage, but it is not intended for microwave use. We recommend transferring your ingredients to a microwave-safe container if you need to heat them.
While this 180W immersion blender is excellent for smoothies, soups, and sauces, it is not designed to crush ice or process frozen solid ingredients. It works best with liquids and soft or cooked foods.
