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 1.5 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the Blender Jar. As with any Blender, the power output in the Jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself.
