The Vitamix A3500 blender in brushed stainless steel lets you choose from five program settings to easily create smoothies, hot soups, dips and frozen desserts, automatically adjusting to the container size you've selected. Variable speed control allows you to refine texture from the chunkiest salsas to the smoothest purées. Use the pulse feature for a burst of power to chop ingredients and knead dough. A built-in digital time helps take the guesswork out of recipes. Included tamper presses down on thick and frozen mixtures toward the blades without having to stop and scrape the sides of the container.
