Breville introduces its innovative Ikon Hemisphere Blender with its revolutionary powerful, semicircular blades that speedily chop nuts, crush ice, and puree silky sauces and soups. The Ikon Hemisphere bowl/blade system's large shredding blades hug the jar's base to eliminate food traps and lumps left around blades in ordinary blenders. The uniquely angled blades are designed of corrosion-resistant, surgical-grade stainless steel for optimum sharpness. Sleek appliance's back-lit buttons include 5 speed settings for snow, mix, blend, liquefy, smoothie and an ice crush and auto pulse function. The powerful 600-watt variable speed motor quietly and quickly blends under varying loads. The large 51-oz. (1 1/2 liter) glass jar resist scratches, chips and fogginess and includes measurements in both cups and liters. Durable die-cast stainless-steel base stylishly fits in any kitchen decor. The premium Breville blender with easy-grip handle includes a tight-fitting lid with a ring pull design for easy removal. Blender jar and other removable parts are dishwasher-safe.
