The Cuisinart Smooth Operator Blender SMO-56 handles tough blending chores with relative ease. This unit comes with a 56-ounce glass blending jar, rubber lid with measuring cap, stirring wand, dispensing tap, and power base styled in brushed chrome. Five pushbutton controls turn the machine on and off and let you select high, low, or pulse speeds.

The SMO-56 is perfect for blending protein shakes and smoothies. The front dispensing valve makes serving quick and easy. You can also puree soup, mix pancake or muffin batters, chop nuts, make cookie or cracker crumbs, crush ice, and more. A number of recipes are given or you can experiment to create your own specialty drinks. The powerful 500-watt motor breezes through frozen fruit and ice to deliver a super smooth beverage.

On the pulse setting, the SMO-56 has the capability of reaching 1500 watts of power. The long, slender stirring stick fits right through the lid and helps move ingredients toward the blade when preparing a thicker mixture. For blending chunky dips or processing solid ingredients, you can remove the dispenser tap and use the supplied plug to close the opening.
