Motor Horsepower - KitchenAid 5KSB5080 User Manual

BLENDER SAFETY

Motor horsepower

Motor horsepower for the Blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine
that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 2.0 peak
horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and
not the Blender's horsepower output in the Blender pitcher. As with any blender, the power
output in the pitcher is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor
delivers 1.8 peak HP in the pitcher enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for
all your recipes.
NOTE: In accordance with guidelines from the medical device manufacturers, as with many
products containing magnets, it is recommended that those with implantable pacemakers/
defibrillators should use care with the Blender and keep their device 30cm (12 inches) away
from the Blender.
