KitchenAid's K400 Blender is a counter-friendly blender with a 1.2 HP motor and Intelli-Speed sensor that automatically adjusts to the food being blended. Soft Start prevents splatter, asymmetric stainless-steel blades pull ingredients toward the center, and a 56-oz pitcher handles family-size smoothies, soups and frozen drinks. Self-cleans with a drop of soap and water.
