In our modern world, speed is of the essence and multi-tasking is an everyday reality. We are expected to do it all and have it all. To cope with this, we get help from cutting-edge electronic gadgets.
Our smartphones must be able to manage our chock-a-block daily schedules, our robot vacuum cleaners clean our rooms with minimal human involvement and our irons have to gauge different fabrics without us fiddling with knobs and temperatures.
Everyone expects more and more out of their machines, because every little bit helps to keep up with the rigours of daily life.
Which is why the Panasonic High Power Blender is exactly the sort of kitchen messiah that this generation needs. This hard-working little appliance can quite literally do it all – the blender (but really it’s so much more than that) can juice, create smoothies, make soups, puree, grind and make frozen treats with the aid of an auto-touch button that has pre-programmed settings for each function.
Having a fast, efficient kitchen appliance is mandatory as time is nothing short of a luxury. It’s even better if you don’t have to hover and stand guard over your food as it cooks – which makes the blender’s automated timing system so easy to fall in love with.

Automated timing takes out the guesswork as the timing is pre-set! Making juice takes just 1.5 minutes, making soup a mere 7 minutes, and pureeing and making smoothies and frozen edibles, just a minute!
How does the blender get these results so quickly?
It’s all in the blades
It all happens through the magic of blades. The Hyper Blender is powered by a dynamic dual 6-blade system, which features upper blades with straight edges for rough cutting and lower blades with jagged edges for fine cutting. The two work together harmoniously like a tag team, ensuring the end product has a smooth finish.
One added advantage of this is that you can get fruits and vegetables pulverised to satin smoothness, without losing out on nutrition and fibre.
More is more
If you’re testing out a new recipe or trying out new ingredients, you can rely on the blender’s 10-step manual setting. This gives you the leeway to adjust the speed of the machine by turning a 10-step dial to process food to your own preferences or recipes.
Additionally, the pulse button lets you stop intermittently to check that the food is turning out the way you want it to.
Blowing hot and cold
Perhaps what makes this blender so interesting is the fact that it is able to produce hot food like soups as well as ice cold beverages and treats.
The frozen effect is particularly intriguing and is achieved through the use of an ice jacket, which reduces the friction caused by blade rotation and stops juices from warming, because who wants a glass of warm juice?
All you need to do to get your food down the frozen route is to freeze the ice jacket the day before you intend to use it.
And the biggest difference the 1,200W Panasonic Hyper Blender’s starry, multi-faceted functions will bring to your kitchen? Instead of a litter of machines clogging up your counter and cupboard space, you have just one little machine (with a lot of power) that satisfies every single one of your food processing needs.
The Panasonic High Power Blender MX-ZX1800SSK is priced at RM1,855.
