This is the immersion blender that chops almonds more thoroughly and blends tomatoes smoother than other models. With a powerful 200-watt motor and an intuitive backlit speed selector, it thoroughly blended whole peeled tomatoes for marinara sauce in one minute, unlike lesser models that leave undesirable chunks or spit out scalding liquids. It can pulverize 32 grams of almonds such that 24 grams are fine enough to sift through a strainer. It has a soft nonslip handle, an LED headlight that illuminates the pot as you blend, and a nylon head and a silicone-coated stainless steel shaft that protect cookware from scratches. Includes a three-cup plastic beaker with lid. 16" L x 3 3/4" W x 3 3/4" D. (3 1/4 lbs.)
