The Vitamix A2300 blender in black takes your menu beyond smoothies. This amazing blender processes raw and cooked ingredients, while variable speed control allows you to refine textures, from chunky soups to baby food. Use the pulse feature for a burst of power to chop ingredients and knead dough. A built-in digital time helps take the guesswork out of recipes. Included tamper presses down on thick and frozen mixtures toward the blades without having to stop and scrape the sides of the container. A beautiful technique and recipe book is included.
