Blender base and plastic jar

• Powerful 2.25 peak HP motor • Large 60-ounce BPA-free Tritan plastic jar with soft-grip handle • Automatic load-sensing technology • Preprogrammed Smoothie and Ice Crush Functions; Electronic touchpad controls - Low, High, and Pulse • LCD display with programmable countdown timer. • This blender operates at the touch of a button. • The base overall feels pretty sturdy and its smooth shell is easy to clean. • The rubber feet on the bottom are really good at stopping the blender from sliding around. • The lid has three rubber gaskets on it which secure it really well against the top of the jar. With a lot of liquids in the jar, immediately spinning the blender up at 5 speeds sends splashes up and if the lid isn't fully secured on the jar it can get knocked off the blender and make a mess. Really the lid is tight to make sure liquid doesn't splash out of the blender. • The middle of the lid has a removable plastic cap so you can pour in ingredients without removing the whole lid. • There are a few presets this blender has. Smoothie works well for smoothies. Soup works well for soup. • The speed adjustment is a very nice thing to have. • Fineness of smoothies in this blender is incredible. It chops up berries, seeds into nothing, nuts into nothing, veggies into nothing, all super consistent - if you don't want solid bits left in your smoothies then you won’t have them. • Very easy to just rinse the lid and jar underwater to get everything off. • Power cord in the back is low gauge and nice. • The display is nice and bright and has a pretty good resolution to tell you what's going on.

• If you make food with strong smells in this blender I suspect the scent will linger inside the jar unless you clean some other way than using the preset on the blender. • Blender squirt: the top plug of the blender is ventilated and the blender throws its contents against it so hard that it oozes out. • The center of the lid is removable but, has a serrated edge which is uncomfortable on the fingers. • The sound is loud, as they all are at high speeds, the Cuisinart is more high pitched than some and a bit louder • It has only two speeds, high and low.
