A beautifully designed, ergonomic hand blender, the Avance SpeedTouch can be held by finger and thumb only, providing an intuitive, trustful hold. Unique in its one-hand control, ergonomic studies informed the design of the grip and trigger switch, which offer supreme speed and handling control. A slender shape intuitively positions the index finger towards the SpeedTouch knob, which responds to pressure: the more you squeeze, the more power you get. Brushed metal, deep gloss and matt textures hint at a professional appliance, making the Avance SpeedTouch appealing and approachable, combining technical requirements with esthetics.
