DESC: The Breville Ikon Blender features the Hemisphere Bowl/Blade System that utilizes a large stainless steel chopping blade and a large shredding blade to hug the uniquely shaped hemisphere bowl. Because of this design, there are no still zones around the blades and ingredients are shredded into fine, consistent particles every time. The 54 ounce (1.6 liter) engineering grade Borosilicate glass jar is designed for clarity and to resist chipping and fogginess. The control pad features a back lit timer that functions as a count up timer during the 5 speed cycles and pulse function and counts down during the 2 programs for ice crushing and smoothies.
