This is the personal blender that chopped and pureed the best and was easiest to use in tests by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. In comparison tests by Institute analysts, it crushed ice the fastest, made the best-tasting salsa, and pureed fruits and vegetables into nutrient-rich smoothies free of chunks or grittiness. Its 1,000-watt motor spins steel blades at up to 21,000 rpms to quickly blend ingredients and extract nutrients, and two automatic settings ensure consistent, delicious results. Unlike units that were complicated or difficult to assemble, its mixing cup simply clicks into place. The BPA-free plastic 18-oz. and 24-oz. cups are dishwasher-safe and have flip-top lids for enjoying healthy drinks on the go. With 60-second digital timer. Includes recipe book. AC plug. 14 1/4" H x 6 1/4" W x 5 3/4" D. (5 1/2 lbs.)
