The Artisan K400 blender is expertly designed to help you achieve your culinary ambitions, from creating silky sauces to nutritious, flavourful smoothies. At its core lies the revolutionary 3-part blending system, a trinity of power and precision. These three elements work in perfect harmony: the unique asymmetric blade blends at four distinct angles to pull ingredients into the center; the ribbed glass jar creates powerful turbulence, folding contents back onto the blades; and the Intelli-Speed® Motor intelligently senses the contents and maintains optimal speed to power through any ingredient without stalling. Together, they create a blending vortex that ensures no chunk is left behind. Take the guesswork out of your routine with three preset recipe programs that deliver perfect results for your most common creations: Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie. For those who crave complete creative freedom, the 5-speed variable dial puts you in command to fine-tune the texture of everything from hearty soups to delicate purées. After you’re done, cleanup is effortless with the dedicated Self-Cleaning cycle. This blender isn't just for soft fruits; its power allows you to effortlessly grind tough ingredients like sea salt, turmeric, and rice into fine powder, opening up a new world of culinary possibilities. Built like a classic KitchenAid appliance, the K400 is made to last. The heavy, die-cast metal base provides exceptional stability on your countertop, so it won’t shudder or move, even when tackling solid ice. The durable 1.4L glass jar is built for daily use and is easy to clean. Plus, with a reassuring 2-year warranty, this blender is not just an appliance; it's a long-term investment in your health and creativity, promising years of reliable performance.
