The Smeg High Performance Blender BLC02 is a powerful countertop blender designed for advanced food preparation and high-speed blending. Combining modern technology with SMEG’s distinctive Collezione aesthetic, the appliance delivers strong performance, versatile programs, and precise control for a wide range of recipes.
Design and Construction
The blender features a contemporary design with a durable body and aluminum front panel. The blending jug has a 1.5-liter capacity and is made from Tritan™ Renew, a BPA-free material produced using a molecular recycling process that incorporates certified recycled content while maintaining durability and clarity.
The jug includes a lid with a removable measuring cup (30 ml) that allows ingredients to be added safely during blending. An anti-slip base helps ensure stability on the countertop during operation.
Motor and Performance
The BLC02 is equipped with a 1400-watt motor, designed to deliver high-speed blending performance for demanding ingredients such as nuts, frozen fruits, and hard vegetables. The motor can reach a maximum speed of approximately 22,000 revolutions per minute, enabling efficient processing and smooth results.
A stainless-steel blade assembly ensures durability and effective ingredient processing for consistent blending results.
Speed Settings and Programs
The blender offers nine manual speed levels along with a Pulse function, providing precise control over blending intensity and texture.
It also includes five preset automatic programs designed for specific preparations:
-
Smoothie
-
Green Smoothie
-
Frozen Dessert
-
Ice-Crush
-
Auto-Clean
These programs simplify preparation by automatically adjusting blending time and speed.
Vacuum Pump Technology
The BLC02 includes a vacuum pump accessory that removes air from the jug before blending. This process reduces oxidation during preparation, helping to preserve color, flavor, and nutrients in blended foods and beverages.
Display and Controls
