High-Speed Countertop Blender

A 1400-watt motor spins hardened stainless blades fast enough that friction alone can warm a vegetable soup in about six minutes. Variable speed control gives you chunky salsa at the low end and velvety purees at the top, while the pulse setting helps with rough chops. The included tamper pushes thick mixtures back into the blades without stopping the machine.

The 64-ounce container is BPA-free and shaped to create a vortex that pulls food downward. To clean, fill it halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap, run it on high for thirty seconds, and rinse. Hand wash the jar to keep it clear.
