Arriving with a glass pitcher, the new KitchenAid Artisan blender brings a touch of class to your blending needs! A die-cast metal base provides a robust foundation that is built to last. Thanks to a uniquely designed jug made using durable glass, this large 1.5L pitcher makes for easy pouring and cleaning. The jug has a well-sealed stay-put lid along with an ingredient cup for practical use. Sharp stainless steel blades make light work of blending - there is even an ice crushing setting, ensuring ultimate ice crushing and fast, consistent blending. Meanwhile the powerful motor with intelli-speed control maintains the optimal speed with each setting, so you can blend everything from soft cooked vegetables for soup, to chunks of ice, and this motor will handle it with ease. If you always forget to put the lid on the blender before whizzing your food, fear not! To avoid mess, this blender has a ‘Soft Start’ feature : this starts slowly and then quickly increases speed for clean blending. For even more reliable and safe use, a locking collar ensures that the blades don’t rotate until the pitcher is properly attached. Integrated into the smooth, rounded design of this blender is a clean-touch control pad : those inevitable spillages are superbly easy to wipe clean.
