Kitchenaid KSB560ER 5-speed kitchen blender in empire red. The unique pitcher shape, patented blade and powerful 0.9 horsepower motor provide fast, consistent blending that can crush a pitcher of ice within seconds. In fact, this model is the most powerful premium blender currently available. Patented stainless steel blade tines are positioned on four different planes for fast, thorough and consistent blending. Blade assembly is built into pitcher for easy handling and cleanup. Commercial-quality, steel-reinforced coupler with 12 interlocking teeth provides direct transfer of motor power to the blade. Built for continual blending, advanced airflow design keeps blender cool during continued use. Heavy, die-cast metal base ensures stable, quiet operation when blending. Plus, four rubber feet on wide base provide a nonslip, non-marring grip. Pitcher contours direct ingredients into the blade for fast, thorough blending. The 56-ounce one-piece pitcher is made of commercial-grade polycarbonate. It is scratch, stain and shatter-resistant. The handle features a soft inner grip for comfortable, nonslip control. The pitcher's built-in drain holes eliminate food traps and the need to disassemble - which makes cleaning easier. The Intelli-Speed controls and adjusts power to compensate for thicker mixtures. Automatic Crush Ice Button pulses at staggered intervals at an optimal speed to increase blade contact with ice and improve crushing efficiency. Smooth, seamless control pad wipes clean in an instant.
