From veggie-packed power smoothies to herb-laden pestos, this powerful blender delivers fast, efficient results. Choose from six programmed settings—Pulse, Smoothie, Cocktail, Ice Cream, Ice Crushing or Cleaning—or use 12 variable settings to create salad dressings, soups, nut butters and more. Equipped with a razor-sharp, German-made winglet blade, the blender only starts once the lid is correctly in place and shuts off automatically if the lid accidentally is dislodged.
