Sigma SBL9009-GS 1.75L

The Sigma SBL9009-GS is a counter top blender with a 1.75 litre glass jar sitting on a stainless steel motor base. It runs at five speeds with a pulse setting, and the blade assembly is stainless steel. Sigma lists the machine as industrial, with a grinder function.

• Blend hot soup straight from the pot. The 1.75 litre jar is glass, which handles heat better than plastic and washes clean without staining or holding odours.
• Power for the jobs that stall small blenders. 1500 watts, so thick pastes and dense mixtures keep moving instead of sitting on the blade.
• Control how coarse or smooth the result is. Five speeds let you build up gradually, and the pulse setting gives short bursts for chopping rather than puréeing.
• Blades made for daily grinding. Stainless steel cutting blades, and Sigma lists the unit with a grinder function.
• Steady on the counter while it works. The weighted stainless steel base has rubber feet and a single round knob, with a wide moulded handle on the jar for pouring.

The lid has a removable centre cap, so you can add liquid or ingredients while the motor is running. The base is brushed stainless steel with a black jar handle and lid.
