Know before you buy
It does both. The Thermal Control Jar is designed to heat soups directly in the blender using friction from the high-speed blades, allowing you to blend and heat ingredients simultaneously in under five minutes.
Yes, the 2.6-liter BPA-free jar is dishwasher safe. Additionally, the blender features a dedicated self-cleaning cycle that makes routine maintenance quick and easy.
The 3.5 Peak HP motor is exceptionally powerful and designed specifically to break down tough, fibrous ingredients. Combined with the asymmetric stainless steel blades, it creates a vortex that pulls ingredients down for a smooth, consistent texture without stalling.
The flex edge tamper is designed to help you push thick or stubborn ingredients down into the blade vortex while the blender is running. It ensures a uniform blend without needing to stop the machine to scrape down the sides of the jar.
The blender measures 17.6 inches high, 10.5 inches wide, and 9.1 inches deep. Given its height and weight of 21.56 lbs, it is a substantial appliance, so you should measure your clearance under upper cabinets before purchasing.
You have full control. While there are four convenient preset programs for smoothies, juices, soups, and cleaning, the blender also features 11 variable speeds, plus pulse and boost functions, for precise manual operation.
