Back to Basics Blender Solution 5500

Date Published: 6/12/06

The Back to Basics Blender Solution 5500 is an efficient multipurpose appliance that simplifies many basic food prep tasks.

This unit comes with a powerful 500-watt motor base, 48-ounce heavy glass mixing jar with traditional and smoothie-maker base rings, and food processor attachment. Styled in stainless steel with black accents, the Blender Solution presents a clean, professional appearance, with three mixing speeds: low, medium, and high, and two modes of operation: on and pulse.

The blender component has specially designed stainless-steel blades with one straight edge and one serrated edge for efficient processing of solid, semi-solid, and liquid ingredients. A handy stir stick comes with the smoothie maker assembly and can be used to help direct solids toward the blades.

The mini chopper attachment can process up to 1 cup of nuts, cheese, produce, or herbs quickly and efficiently. The pulse mode on medium speed works especially well for obtaining evenly chopped foods.

When testing the Back to Basics Blender Solution 5500, we were impressed with the speed and uniformity of the mixed ingredients. Even frozen fruit and ice cubes blended with liquids to come out smooth.
