crush ice, including one speed just for ice crushing.  
The results are delicious, professional-quality  
frozen drinks, from the thickest strawberry  
daiquiris to the most flavorful piña coladas.  
The SmartPowerElectronic Blender blends,  
chops, liquefies, and more. So whether you’re  
making soup, salsa, salad dressing, or baby food,  
you can do it easily and quickly. No need to worry  
about spills or messy cleanups, either. The  
SmartPowerElectronic Blender comes with a  
dripless pour spout and touchpads that wipe clean  
in an instant.

your counter – even during ice crushing! The  
motor is strong enough to handle all blending  
tasks, including crushing ice without liquid,  
and is backed by a three year limited warranty.
