KitchenAid Artisan K400

It was designed to transform even the toughest ingredients into smooth consistencies, whether you're preparing homemade soups, baby food, lime juice, nut butter, dips, purees, sauces, or smoothies.

How does it work? The blender features a 3-part system that works harmoniously together. It consists of a unique asymmetrical stainless steel blade, a mixing container with ridges that pulls ingredients into the blending vortex, and the Intelli-Speed motor with 1.5 horsepower, which detects the contents to maintain optimal speed. It is built for daily use and has a sturdy all-metal housing, including the control knob.

With the intuitive dial, operation is very simple. Turn it to your desired speed level or select the pulse function or one of the 3 preset programs – Ice Crush, Ice Drink, Smoothie – which automatically adjust the cycle to achieve the best consistency. When you're done, you can clean the blender with the convenient self-cleaning program for your next culinary adventure.
