Overview
A 1600-watt countertop blender with a triangular Tritan jug, 10 manual speeds and 6 food programs across 3 texture settings. Includes a heated soup function and an auto-clean cycle for the jug.
America's Test Kitchen is cited as recommending the TriForce blender, and reviewers who switched from Ninja, KitchenAid or Oster units generally found it more powerful and easier to clean thanks to the auto-clean cycle. The triangular jug shape is meant to speed blending, and several reviewers confirmed it handles flours, spices and ice with ease, with one warning specifically against grinding cloves or anise in it. One reviewer felt the lid's center cap felt cheap relative to the price, and more than one mentioned it runs loud, which the brand does not claim otherwise.
- 1600W motor with stainless steel PrecisionEdge blades
- 10 manual speeds plus 6 food programs and 3 texture settings
- Hot soup function heats ingredients in the jug
- Auto-clean cycle and 5-year warranty
Who it's for
Fits someone upgrading from a mid-range blender who wants more power and program presets, including for flours and hot soups. Less suited to anyone prioritizing quiet operation or expecting premium materials throughout.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who switched from Ninja, KitchenAid and Oster blenders generally rated this one more powerful and easier to clean, with several praising the auto-clean cycle and its handling of flours and dense ingredients. Complaints included noise during operation, one reviewer who felt the lid's center cap was loose and cheaply made for the price, and one defective unit that needed replacing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Handles ice, flours and dense ingredients with ease
- Auto-clean function rinses the jug in seconds
- Preset programs plus manual speeds and pulse for flexibility
- Runs loud, per multiple reviewers
- Lid's center cap felt loose to one reviewer
- One reviewer's unit arrived with a jammed blade
Performance notes
The 1600W motor drives stainless steel PrecisionEdge blades through 10 manual speeds or 6 preset food programs, each combinable with 3 texture settings for 18 total combinations. The hot soup function heats cold ingredients directly in the jug rather than requiring a stovetop step afterward. An auto-clean cycle rinses the jug with soap and water in seconds, which multiple reviewers singled out as a genuine time-saver.
