Description of Blendtec A3-31E-FLP Connoisseur In-Counter Blender, Stainless Steel
Form meets function with the Blendtec Connoisseur, an attractive edition to any home. The Connoisseur brings the best in commercial blending strength and the elegant stainless steel platform complements any counter top. The Connoisseur is so versatile it makes everything from smoothies, fresh juice, ice cream, milkshakes, cappuccinos, and margaritas, to soups, sauces, dressings, salsas and more! The Connoisseur offers the best in design, taste, texture, and flexibility. With a 1500-watt motor and the ability to complete many kitchen tasks, its no wonder the Connoisseur is the Blending authority. Blentec is the manufacturer of high quality blenders, mixers, and dispensing equipment for commercial use. Blendtec has introduced many innovations that include: the most powerful blender, state of the art electronics, programmable blend cycles and many others. With an increasing demand for high performance kitchen appliances blendtec created its Fine Living Products line. This line is dedicated for the home use and includes the same commercial power, performance, and design, with emphasis on home use and product appearance.Anyone who wants the power of a commercial grade blender for home use can simply place this Connoisseur on the kitchen counter (it fits under most upper cabinets) and crush ice to their heart's content. Those who blend smoothies or soups for a living can recess the flat top of the blender motor into a counter for fast use and easy clean-up. (Instructions are included for installation.) With state-of-the-art electronics and a white-on-blue LED panel, this 1500-watt, 3-horsepower Blendtec blender showcases 30 pre-programmed blend cycles with timed blends and changing blade speeds, everything the home chef or juice bar owner needs.
Designed with almost perfectly vertical sides, the Connoisseur base features a top-facing keypad with four numbered buttons that correspond to different blend cycles along with two buttons labeled 'S' for speed and 'P' for pulse. Pressing the 'S' button ramps the motor up; releasing the button sets the desired speed at which the blender then will run for 50 seconds. Eighteen of the 30 preprogrammed cycles vary the blade speeds to draw food into the vortex, while twelve remain fixed. A switch on the lower front turns the blender on and off, while the LED panel above it indicates which cycle is operating and counts down how many seconds remain (and also warns of overloading).
For measuring on the go, the square, 64-ounce polycarbonate jar has graduated markings for up to five cups on one side and 32 ounces on another. The flexible lid presses in snugly and removes quickly by pulling on any of the four corner tabs; a central plug with a small airhole in the middle can be popped out of the lid to let steam escape when blending hot liquids. Included with the blender are instructions for use and a spiral-bound, 112-page recipe book. The jar, dishwasher-safe only on the top rack, is covered against leakage or breakage for one year. Blendtec covers the motor with a three-year warranty against defects, while the jar blade and the motor base drive socket are covered by a lifetime warranty.--Ann Bieri
