The KitchenAid Pro Line Series Blender is the ultimate tool for making healthy, nutritious eating easy. The Pro Line Series blender’s powerful 3.5 Peak HP motor and patented asymmetric blade provide the most blending power of leading competitors. Symmetric stainless steel blade blends at four different angles to pull ingredients into the blending vortex for smooth, consistent results. This allows for blending large and tough ingredients, like whole fruits and vegetables. Exclusive thermal control jar to blend and heat soup in only five minutes, retains hot temperature longer. Precision power dial offers continuous variable speed from 1-11, for complete control from low to high speeds. Pulse and Boost functions also available to meet your recipe’s specific needs. Unique flex-edge tamper assists with large quantities or ultra-thick blends. The Flex Edge tamper pushes ingredients into the blending vortex and scrapes the sides of the jar so everything is blended evenly. And when finished, it helps get more of the contents out of the jar so there’s less waste. Durable die-cast metal base, dial and switches are built for stability and long-lasting performance. Premium quality design is durable and easy to clean. BPA-free thermal control jar with 87 oz. capacity (56 oz. marked capacity) engineered to further optimize the blender’s performance, leveraging the powerful motor and exclusive blade design. The jar, blades, lid and removable handle grip are all dishwasher safe. Model: KSB8270FP.
