Overview
A kitchen counter anchors this blender, whose ActiveSense technology reads the load of the ingredients and adjusts blade speed, direction and blend time. A Tritan jar holds the batch, and a separate cup lets one serving be blended and taken along.
Load-sensing control plus presets for smoothies, salsa, milkshakes and frozen drinks means little watching. The limits are a large body and a conflict in the listing over dishwasher safety.
Who it's for
Daily smoothie makers who want preset programs and a cup they can carry out of the door. Those with limited counter or shelf room should look at a smaller blender.
Pros and cons
- Load-sensing blade control
- Preset programs for common drinks
- Portable cup included
- Large, heavy base
- Dishwasher status conflicts in listing
- Cup size differs between title and description
- Digital controls need counter space
Performance notes
ActiveSense reads motor load and changes blade speed, direction and blend time, so thick frozen mixes get handled without manual restarts. Dual-direction blades pull ingredients down and then reverse to break up packed spots. The add-liquid indicator signals when a thick mixture needs more liquid to circulate.
