Smart-Touch tec-nology™ means when the button is pushed, a pre-programmed cycle automatically speeds up and slows down, then shuts off when the cycle is complete, so recipes turn out perfect every time. 25 pre-programmed cycles for a wide range of food preparation. Comes with an easy-to-read LED menu display that lists the cycles for fast selection. Use the four pre-set buttons to set your favorite cycles that that you use most often. No confusing switches or dials, no guessing when things are done. Choose the cycle you want, then press Start and the blender knows the time and speed to use so food will turn out perfect every time. The blender shuts itself off as soon as the cycle is completed. You can also control the speed of the blender manually with the speed control buttons. The pulse button is also handy for quick recipes.
