Think your smoothie can’t get any smoother? Think again! Arriving with a blending paddle that is exclusive to John Lewis, this unique Dualit blender hosts Vortec S technology, with a multi-dimensional mix action for the smoothest results. Vortec S uses two fins along the side of the jar in combination with a precision-engineered, six-pronged blade that creates an irregular blending action to continually force ingredients into the main chopping zone. Along with a powerful 1000W motor, even the toughest ingredients are crushed & pulverised. Seven controls include ice crush, two pulse settings & four pre-set speeds, each one perfectly adjusted for gentle mixing, consistent chopping, smooth pureeing or ultimate blitzing. With the four original power settings, it is simple to blend soups & coarse chop, create fruit smoothies & batters, chop lean meats, make sauces & puree baby food. The pulse setting can be used continuously for thick smoothies & tough ingredients, or you can tap it to chop foods such as nuts & onions. Another feature that makes the Dualit blender unique is its ice crusher setting: designed to blitz ice on impact, this setting begins with one large pulse & continues with several smaller pulses, to turn ice cubes into snow drifts in just 10 seconds. Finally, the Tritan shatterproof jug is safer than glass, as well as being lighter & easier to manoeuvre, & dishwasher safe too!
