How long can you run on slow speeds...

[Guest guest]

If it is a watery mixture I think you could run it for a very long time - indefinitely. The thicker the mixture the more concerned you would have to be about the motor over heating.I have never had my machine stop when using on slow speeds - only on high with very thick mixtures like nut butters (in the beginning before I learned how to prevent over heating).A hint - if you think your machine is about to overheat - take the canister off and run the machine on high. This will turn the cooling fan on and with no load to make the motor work hard it will cool off the motor. I've had to do this a couple of times in a demo when I put too much frozen ingredients in my ice cream and was sweating whether the motor would shut off on me :-)
