The two-tiered unique six-blade cutting system and powerful 1300 watt motor can pulverize ice, whole fruits and vegetables to a smooth consistency in seconds. Create healthy juice filled with fiber, delicious fruit smoothies and more! The blender's upper blades have straight edges for rough cutting while the lower blades have jagged edges for fine cutting. The dual blades work together (19,000 rpm) for smooth and consistent results and is removable for easy cleaning.

The Panasonic MX-ZX1800's six pre-programmed settings – smoothie, juice, frozen treats, puree/dip, nuts/coffee beans, and soup – provides one-touch control with walk-away convenience via an electrostatic Touch Sensor Control with blue LED.

The Panasonic High-Power Blender features a Tritan Reinforced Resin Jar (1.8 liter capacity) with an ice jacket for keeping beverages cool. The bender's long-lasting motor (180-hour) is rated for eight minutes of continuous operation. A convenient Accelerator/Tamper tool is also included.
