Aeitto Blender, Blenders for Kitchen with 1500-Watt Motor, 68 Oz Large Capacity, Professional Countertop Blenders for Ice Crush, Frozen Drinks (Silver)

Bought this as a replacement for a KitchenAid blender that burnt out while making weekly pet food as the motor wasn’t strong enough. Despite the low price this new Aeitto blender is made with quality materials and well thought out functions.The large capacity (2 liter or 8.5 cup max) container seems to be made of polycarbonate or similar engineering plastic and is thick and sturdy with a quality locking top cap that has an integrated silicone seal.The front panel has on/off switch, pulse switch and rotary dial with 1 to 7 speeds and 3 programmed settings for ICE CRUSH, SMOOTHIE and JUICE. When you select a speed the display shows the speed and starts counting the elapsed time which is convenient. For the pet food I make I use the top speed for 2 minutes to make a creamy pate texture and which requires 2 minutes of blending. The blender basically liquefies the ingredients which start with cooked ground turkey, frozen pumpkin puree cubes, sardines, scrambled eggs etc and it comes out perfect. I’ve used the blender for smoothies, margaritas etc and it works very well at those tasks too. It’s not too noisy but all blenders are usually fairly loud so wasn’t expecting whisper quiet. It is quieter than my old KitchenAid.A nice added feature is the cord storage on the bottom to allow reducing the length of the cord on the counter.Cleanup with easy with water and a little dish soap that is blended at high speed and then rinsed out.Very pleased with the performance, quality and value of the Aietto blender. It’s a very nice upgrade from what I was using.
