Overview

A frequent smoothie maker gets a handful of preset programs, variable speed with a pulse function and a digital timer on touch buttons, with a tamper prompt on screen. A recipe book is packed in.

Preset programs plus manual speed control are the reason to look. The limit is one container and a body that needs a good deal of counter height.

Who it's for

Households blending daily and cleaning with the self-clean cycle. Those with low cabinets or a wish for personal cups should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Five preset programs
  • Variable speed and pulse
  • Tamper indicator on screen
  • Add time button
Cons
  • Tall for low cabinets
  • One container included
  • Zinc base is heavy

Performance notes

Laser-cut stainless blades driven by a large motor set the fineness, and the preset programs fix time and speed so results repeat. The on-screen tamper indicator shows when thick blends need pushing down. The self-cleaning cycle handles washing.
