Overview

On a counter where tactile controls beat a touchscreen, this blender pairs classic physical switches with a few preset programs and a digital timer. A large motor drives laser-cut stainless steel blades.

Familiar switches and a timer are the reason to look, for cooks who like to set speed by hand. The limit is that no on-screen helpers are listed.

Who it's for

Home cooks who like tactile controls and make smoothies and hot soups. Buyers who want touch controls, many presets or a second container should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Digital timer for manual recipes
  • Variable speed and pulse
  • Hot soup from friction heat
  • Tamper and holder included
Cons
  • Few preset programs
  • One container included
  • No touch interface

Performance notes

Variable speed and pulse give hands-on control, and the digital timer tracks a manual recipe so the cook does not watch a clock. Friction from the blades heats soup to serving temperature without a stove. The self-cleaning program does the wash with water and soap.
