Krups GMA3-11 Power Xtreme VI Work Top Blender Recommendations

Judging solely by its looks, the new Krups Blender is without question a state of the art appliance. Appropriately dubbed the Power Xtreme Premium, it has a powerful 400-watt motor that mixes uniformly and thoroughly with 8 functions: an Auto Ice Crusher that quickly crushes ice without adding water, an auto-Pulse mode, and 6 blending speeds to stir, whip, chop, mix, puree and liquefy. A soft-start feature prevents splattering when you first turn it on, and a built-in speed control automatically adapts the speed based on the function selected and the texture of the mixture.
