Description
The grandson of the legendary German automobile designer, F.A. Porsche has achieved an international design reputation of his own, beginning first with the Porsche 911 and then moving onto myriad other products, such as this classy blender. Synthesizing form and function and utilizing advanced materials are Porsche's hallmarks, and they are immediately evident in this blender's timeless beauty. The double-tapered cylinder is clad in brushed aluminum, with dark-purple plastic trim. The rugged, dishwasher-safe polycarbonate container is translucent green, and its tall spout (calibrated in metric, up to 1.5 liters, or 51 ounces) protrudes slightly, adding a third external color. The blender is loaded with features. It has a powerful 450-watt motor controlled by a press-and-pop-out dial that fits flush to the exterior when not in use and offers pulse, automatic pulse, and variable-speed settings for precise blending. Stainless-steel blades are permanently attached to the container's bottom and are cleverly angled for fast ice crushing and fine chopping. Due to the upward and outward taper, the container has an exceptionally wide mouth. A pushbutton on the handle opens the lid, which, for safety, must be locked in place for the blender to operate. A locking cap twists out for adding ingredients during operation. Wraparound cord storage in the base reduces clutter. The blender stands 13 inches high on a 6-1/2-inch-diameter base and has rubber feet to protect counter surfaces. --Fred Brack
