The Vitamix Explorian E520 is a powerful blender that allows you to puree hard ingredients quickly and easily. The blender has a high power of 1,100-1,300 watts. If you press down hard ingredients with the included pusher, you can finally chop them finely. You can operate the blender with the 10 speed settings or the 3 blender programmes provided. There is a programme for ice cream, smoothies or warm soups. The blender jug has a large capacity of 2 litres. This is enough for around 5 to 6 glasses. After use, you can simply clean the container with 2 cups of hot water and a little washing-up liquid.
