Blend the rules.

Who knew a blender could cut such a sleek profile on the countertop? Just as you’d expect, this German-engineered wonder is brimming with modern perks.

  • Razor sharp: The German-made blade inside is high-carbon steel, with thick outer edges that’ll crush ice and nuts in a snap, plus sharper inner edges for smooth-as-silk purées. Oh, and it comes from a world-famous cutlery maker, too.
  • Works from the bottom up: The container has another trick up its sleeve—the bottom is curved just-right to push food into the blades.
  • Strong as can be: This one sure packs a punch, since it’s powered by a high-performance 1,400-watt motor (that’s almost two horsepower).
  • Settings aplenty: It has 6 pre-programmed settings: Smoothie, Cocktails, Ice Cream, Ice Cube, Multifunction/Pulse, and Cleaning (yep, it cleans itself). Plus, 12 variable speed settings let you fine-tune your blend.
  • Built-in timer: See the digital timer on the base? It’ll count up the seconds when you’re in Multifunction mode, or count down and beep if you’re using one of the auto programs.
  • Made to measure: The 60.8-ounce Tritan container has handy markers right on the side—fluid ounces, milliliters, your pick—so you always know how much goodness you’re whipping up. Bonus: The lid stopper doubles as a measuring cup.
  • Very, very versatile: Sure, it’ll prep a smoothie, no problem, but we’re using it for our puréed soups, chunky salsas, sorbet, and frozen margaritas, too. (There’s even an app—ZWILLING Culinary World—that’s chock full of recipes, created especially for this here blender. Find it in your app store for both iOS & Android devices.)
