It features three speed settings ranging from 15,000 to 26,000 RPM, and the timer can be set in increments of 30 seconds up to 15 minutes. You can blend two ways, using either a time and a speed setting, or if you prefer to blend by sight simply choose a speed and let your blender work until you've reached the desired consistency. And if you will be making the same recipe repeatedly, this blender makes it easy with a one-touch start feature that repeats the most recent time and speed settings with a single press of the "Start" button. When you need a quick burst of power to finish off a recipe or clear the blade area, it also has a convenient pulse button to throttle the unit on "High" speed.
