US Seller, based in Las Vegas, Nevada TORNADO High-Performance Stainless Steel Blender / Licuadora de acero inoxidable Home If you are looking for a professional-grade blender with massive power, made from high-quality materials and components, outstanding personal customer service, a generous warranty - and all that at a reasonable price - you have come to the right place. We proudly present to you: The TORNADO High-Performance Blender. =========================================== The TORNADO is operated over a digital Control Panel. There are 2 different speed settings: LOW (12,000 RPM) and HIGH (30,000 RPM). The TIMER function allows you to set the machine so that it automatically stops after your desired blending-time. You can adjust the time or stop the motor at any time while the machine is running. The PULSE function gives you complete control over your blend. The motor starts and runs as long as you press the button. Releasing the button stops the motor. A unique feature of this button is the 'Soft-Start': The motor gently revs up, but will ultimately reach HIGH speed. There is also a pre-set automatic program which can be activated with the 'AUTO' button. This program allows you to operate the machine with a single push of a button. The program was designed to be a perfect mix of blending-time and speed to meet the needs for the most common applications. The running time of the program is set to 120 seconds. =========================================== Option 1: Stainless Steel Container (68 fl. oz. / 2 Liters) This container is made of 18/8 Stainless Steel (also known as 304). This material can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids. This durability makes it easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for many kitchen and food applications. Most importantly: This food-grade stainless steel contains no chemicals that can migrate into foods. The measuring markings ( fl. oz. and liters ), caution symbol and our logo are embossed into the material, not etched or painted. The container has a capacity of 68 fl.oz. (2 Liters). The base of the container is made of die-cast aluminum. =========================================== Option 2: Plastic Container (51 fl. oz. / 1.5 Liters) This container is made of BPA-FREE TRITAN™. This co-polyester is used by the majority of the marked-leading blenders - Vitamix® uses it for their containers as well. It is lightweight, shatterproof and nearly indestructible. The container has a capacity of 51 fl.oz. (1.5 Liters). =========================================== The blade is made of hardened stainless-steel. The blade-assembly is equipped with two superior high-quality bearings. These bearings are double-sealed for the longest possible lifetime. The blade-assembly is designed to remain installed at all times. There is no need to remove the blade for cleaning. =========================================== The motor is as powerful as it gets with a regular household power-outlet. The 1800 Watts and 15 Amps exceed even the most expensive blenders on the market. The motor base is designed to achieve optimal cooling of the motor and all other components. This guarantees the best possible performance and a longer lifetime. Our TORNADO is equipped with state of the art safety features. Its Automatic Overload Protection is designed to protect the motor and other key components from overheating. If triggered, this feature shuts off the blender immediately to protect it from any possible damage. We equipped our blender with only high-quality parts made from the best materials - and thoughtfully designed a very sturdy and solid machine, in order to reduce noise and vibration as much as possible. =========================================== The lid consists of two parts. The removable lid-plug allows you to add ingredients while the machine is running. =========================================== You will also receive a flexible silicone spatula which will help you clear sticky mixtures like peanut butter from around the blade and also from the inner walls of the container. =========================================== Our TORNADO is just as versatile as the marked-leading blenders – and the possibilities are pretty much endless: Whole Food Juicing Blending Preparing various types of nut milk and nut butters Dry/Wet Chopping Preparing Frozen Treats Cooking Soups and so much more... =========================================== What you get with this purchase: 1 complete blender, including: 1 motor base, 1 container, 1 lid, 1 tamper, 1 silicone spatula, 1 Owner's Manual in both English and Spanish and a 2-Year Full Warranty Certificate Shipping Dear Customer!

FAQ Dear Customer! Below you will find some frequently asked questions and answers. Should you have any questions that are not addressed below, please feel free to contact us. =========================================== Can I make soup in my TORNADO Blender? How does that work? Yes, you can make hot, wholesome soups within minutes! There is no hidden heat-element or anything like that. The heat is created by the friction of the high-speed blade. The longer you run the blender on HIGH, the warmer and eventually steaming hot your soups will become. There are thousands of soup-recipes available, so please feel free to explore and enjoy! =========================================== Can I adjust the timer while the machine is running? Yes you can adjust the timer up or down at any time while the machine is running. The timer can be adjusted in 15 second intervals ranging from 15 to 180 seconds. If you select the AUTO program, the timer is disabled. The blender will run through the automatic program and automatically stop after 2 minutes. You can stop the AUTO program at any time by pushing the STOP button of course. =========================================== How do I remove the blade? Please don't attempt to remove the blade for any reason. It is designed to remain installed at all times. There is no need to remove the blade for cleaning either. Please refer to some cleaning tips below. You may also find detailed cleaning instructions in your Owner's Manual. =========================================== Why won't my blender turn on? Your new TORNADO Blender is equipped with state of the art safety features. Its Automatic Overload Protection is designed to protect your motor and other key components from overheating. If triggered, this feature shuts off your blender immediately to protect it from any possible damage. Should your Automatic Overload Protection ever be triggered, please follow the below instructions: 1. Unplug your TORNADO Blender from the power outlet. 2. Let the machine cool down for at least 15 minutes. 3. The Reset button for the Automatic Overload Protection is located on the bottom of the motor base. 4. Turn your motor base upside down and press the Reset button. 5. Plug the machine back into the power outlet. Do not install the container. Do not put your fingers on or near the drive coupling. 6. Press the ON button, and then the LOW or the HIGH button. If the motor works again, you may go back to using the machine as you normally do. If it is still not working, please unplug it again and wait a little longer. Then repeat the above steps. This safety feature will eventually disengage and you will be able to use the appliance again. This feature is very unlikely to be triggered under normal use and conditions (even heavy duty use normally does not trigger it because of our advanced cooling system). So if you experience this often, you are either not using the appliance properly, or there may be a problem with your machine. Should you experience continued triggering of the Automatic Overload Protection, please contact us so that we can work on a solution together. =========================================== Do I have to sharpen the blade of my TORNADO after some time? No. Actually, the blade in our TORNADO is not very sharp to begin with - it is a so-called 'hammer mill blade'. The blade is designed to pulverize, not cut or slice. The extremely high speed of the blade pulverizes all ingredients. Therefore, unlike most other blenders, you will not notice a decline in performance due to increasingly dull blades. =========================================== How do I clean my new blender? The easiest way to clean your TORNADO Blender is by filling the container with a few drops of dish-fluid and warm water and then running the machine on HIGH for a few seconds. Your blender basically becomes its own dishwasher. Here are the detailed instructions: 1. Fill the container half way with warm water. Add 2 drops of regular dish washing fluid. 2. Install the lid and the lid plug. 3. Place the container on the motor base and power on the machine. 4. Double check that the lid is securely in place. Set the TIMER to 60 seconds. Start the motor by pushing the HIGH button. 5. After the motor turns off, remove the lid and pour the soapy water into a sink. Rinse the container, lid and lid plug under running water and let it air-dry or wipe it dry with a soft cloth. 6. Store the container, lid and lid plug separately from each other to prevent any remaining humidity from being trapped within the parts. Some very thick or sticky mixtures may require manual cleaning. Please use non-scratch cloths/sponges. Be very careful and don't come in contact with the blades as they are sharp and may cut you. Please note: There is no need to remove the blade for cleaning. Never try to remove or loosen the blade assembly. It is designed to remain installed at all times. =========================================== I lost my Owner's Manual. Can I get a copy? Yes of course. Please contact us and we will arrange that for you. =========================================== My blender is brand new. Why does it smell like it's burning? Although all motors are tested and run several minutes under load in our factory, heavy use will cause further curing of the motor windings in new blenders. This curing gives off a burning smell and is typical for wound DC motors. This smell will quickly dissipate after a few heavy uses, and it is absolutely nothing to worry about. In addition, your new TORNADO Blender is equipped with state of the art safety features. Its Automatic Overload Protection is designed to protect your motor and other key components from overheating. If triggered, this feature shuts off your blender immediately to protect it from any possible damage. However, a slight burning smell may also be emitted. This safety feature is very unlikely to be triggered under normal use and conditions (even heavy duty use normally does not trigger it because of our advanced cooling system). So if you experience this often, you are either not using the appliance properly, or there may be a problem with your machine. Should you experience continued triggering of the Automatic Overload Protection, please contact us so that we can work on a solution together. =========================================== What is the lid plug for? This lid plug acts like a vent to allow steam to escape the container when you are making hot soups and other hot liquids. Without this feature, steam would build up pressure inside the container. In addition, removing the lid plug allows you to add ingredients while the blender is running. And lastly, removing the lid plug also allows you to safely use the tamper in order to push ingredients down into the blade when you are blending thick mixtures. =========================================== Can I add hot ingredients in my container? Your TORNADO Blender is capable of creating creamy soups with temperatures of up to 170°F (the heat is generated by the friction of the high-speed blade). We do not recommend that you add ingredients hotter than 170°F. Please take additional care when handling hot liquids or ingredients. =========================================== Why is there grease around the gear on the bottom of my container? Grease around the gear and the retainer nut on the bottom of the container may indicate that the bearing-seals inside the blade assembly are worn out. These parts are fully covered under our Warranty. If your blender is out of Warranty and you are having this issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We won't leave you alone, even long after you Warranty has expired. =========================================== Should you have any questions that are not addressed below, please feel free to contact us.

I am happy to know that you are interested in learning a little more about our business. I would like to share a short story with you – the story about how I became passionate about blending, and why I developed the TORNADO High-Performance Blender. It all started a few years ago. I had just moved to the United States from Germany, and a friend of mine took me to a Costco® in Los Angeles. While walking through the store, we came across a crowd of people. They were watching a Vitamix® sales-presentation. I had been using a basic blender for a few years, and I didn't even know that powerful blenders like that existed. I was completely blown away by what this thing could do. It could not only make shakes (I thought that was the only thing blenders were there for), but also ice-cream and even hot soups. My jaw dropped several times, and I honestly couldn't believe it! But then it happened! The crowd cleared and I saw the price tag! That thing was almost 500 bucks! And my jaw dropped even harder! It was completely incomprehensible how anyone would spend so much money for a blender! I really really wanted one, but then my brain took over and made me walk away. Over the next 2 years I bought several of the cheaper blenders that cost anywhere between $75 and $200. But they all sucked and none of them came even close to what I had seen in that sales-presentation. That was around the same time when I moved to Las Vegas. One of my new neighbors happened to be a Vitamix® sales person. He hooked me up and I was able to buy one directly from him. It was amazing and it changed everything! It was in the following months when the idea was born: I knew that a blender like this can change people's lives! It could help them eat and live healthier! But a lot of people would simply never be able to afford a blender that costs that much. Or maybe they could afford it, but would have the same reaction that I had back then at Costco®. So I decided to create a high-quality machine that can do everything the great ones can – and that is also reasonably priced and affordable for almost everybody! More than 3 years of hard work have passed since then, and I'm truly proud that the final product turned out the way that it did. I love this machine and I'm passionate about helping people change and improve their health and their lives! I truly hope that our TORNADO will play a big role in your family's daily life from now on going forward. =========================================== At the very end, just a little bit about myself: I was born and raised in Germany and moved to the United States in 2010 at the age of 25. My father owns and operates an aluminum-foundry in a small town in the northern part of Germany - so I grew up being involved in this operation here and there. This is where my love for working with high-quality products and materials evolved. In order to expand my skills, my father advised me to learn and study something completely different from his own profession - so I decided to major in business and restaurant management in Hannover, Germany. It has always been my dream and passion to run my own business - starting with the idea to sell 'Bratwurst' sausages on a busy street as a 7-year-old boy, over opening a go-cart-track when I was 11, to planning and designing my own restaurant-concept in my early 20s. After my relocation to the US, I quickly drifted away from the restaurant-industry. Several coincidences made me take a close look at the retail business - which ultimately lead me to start this company here in Las Vegas. Now, I can combine my love for high-quality products and materials - with my passion for serving my customers and creating smiles with the products we offer. Thank you very much for your interest! Best wishes, Ingo JOIN OUR PASSION We developed & designed this blender with a true passion for blending, juicing and a healthy lifestyle in general. We love this machine, and we truly hope that you will join our passion! Service Commitment We want our TORNADO to be the last blender you will ever buy. Even long after your Full Warranty has expired - we will be there for you with low-cost spare parts and repairs. Simply contact us and we will help you keep your blender working like new.
