Combining state-of-the-art design with power and precision, the only true high-performance blenders with wireless connectivity and a system of self detect containers and accessories, delivering the ultimate convenience and versatility, both at home and on the go.
Five program settings (for Smoothies, Hot Soups, Dips & Spreads, Frozen Desserts, and Self-Cleaning) automatically adjust to the container size you've selected, process your recipes, and stop the blender when complete. Built-in wireless connectivity will allow Ascent Series blenders to evolve with the latest innovations for years to come.
Features:
- 5 program settings: Five program settings (for Smoothies, Hot Soups, Dips & Spreads, Frozen Desserts, and Self-Cleaning) ensure walk-away convenience and consistent results.
- You're in control: Variable Speed Control and Pulse feature let you manually fine-tune the texture of any recipe. (for machines that have both VS + Pulse - combine into 1 bullet)
