The KitchenAid®PRO LINE™ Series Chef’s Blender and
Bar Blender can be summed up in a word: performance. The
rugged, commercial-quality design will satisfy the most
demanding home chef.
Start with the die-cast metal base – it stands up to the most
intensive use while providing incredible stability. Inside the base
is a 21,000 rpm motor that generates more than 1 peak
horsepower. It thoroughly blends frozen drinks and purées
sauces and soups in about 20 seconds.
Above the base, you’ll find a 48 oz. stainless steel or
polycarbonate jar. The blade assembly and seals are built into
the jar for water-tight performance, and the patented, one-piece
stainless steel blade rides on ball bearings for maximum efficiency.
Performance demands precise control, so the Chef’s Blender has three blending speeds and a Pulse
feature for extraordinary versatility. The Bar Blender combines high-speed operation optimized for
blending frozen drinks and crushing ice with a low-speed Pulse mode that offers additional flexibility
and control.
Advanced electronics provide capabilities not found in most blenders. An electronic mixing sensor
automatically adjusts power to compensate for light or heavy ingredients. The Step Start™ feature
reduces splattering by starting the blender slowly and then quickly stepping up to the selected speed.
The KitchenAid®PRO LINE™ Series: commercial quality for the discriminating home chef. From the
company distinguished by its legendary craftsmanship.
