Sunbeam 650 watt MultiBlender Platinum with die-cast brushed metal base.
A choice of three speeds and a Pulse option.
The Pulse function is great for ice and breadcrumbs.
Features a pouring hole, which allows you to add ingredients during the blending process.
Non-slip feet keep the blender stable on the bench top.
I bought this to make smoothies about 8 years ago.

Kāpiti’s mayor has accused airport owners of trying to intimidate his council after they called in the lawyers over discussions about the airport’s future.
In a letter sent to Kāpiti Coast District Council (KCDC) on September 30, Kāpiti Coast Airport Holdings Limited through Russell McVeagh partner Craig Shrive, accused the council of failing to engage with the company ahead of making resolutions about the privately owned Kāpiti Coast Airport.
Mayor K Gurunathan said the letter was clearly designed to intimidate councillors and comments he made about being prepared to join an occupation of the airport were made in a private capacity.
