Know before you buy
Yes, the A3300 features a 64-ounce low-profile container specifically designed to fit under most standard kitchen cabinets, measuring 17 inches in total height.
The blender base uses built-in wireless connectivity to detect the size and type of the container placed on it. It then automatically adjusts the blending programs and maximum speed settings to ensure safety and optimal performance for that specific container.
No, the container is not dishwasher safe. However, the blender features a self-cleaning cycle; simply add warm water and a drop of dish soap, then run the machine for 60 seconds to clean the container and blades thoroughly.
Yes, the A3300 is powerful enough to blend hot soups. The friction from the high-speed blades can heat cold ingredients to steaming hot temperatures in about six minutes.
The built-in digital timer allows you to set the exact blending duration for your recipes. This helps you achieve consistent results every time and prevents over-processing your ingredients.
The A3300 includes a tamper, which is essential for pushing thick or frozen ingredients down into the blades during the blending process to ensure a smooth, uniform texture.
