Blender for food and beverages

A motorized kitchen apparatus including blades, the motorized kitchen apparatus comprising:

• a user interface coupled to a processor module, the user interface enabling user selection of a first motor speed setting;
• a motor controller coupled to a motor, the processor module coupled to the motor controller for controlling operation of the motor according to user input selections;
• one or more sensors coupled to the processor module, the processor module being adapted to receive a feedback signal indicative of operating parameters associated with the motor;
• wherein, upon receiving a user selection of the first motor speed setting, the processor module controls the motor using the motor controller to provide a sequence of pulses, each pulse in the sequence bringing the motor to the user selected first motor speed setting;
• wherein once the user selected first motor speed setting is reached, the processor module disables power to the motor;
• and
• wherein, when power to the motor is disabled, the processor module monitors a speed of the blades using the feedback signal to identify when a first predetermined motor speed is reached, and then after a wait time period, controls the motor using the motor controller to bring the motor to the first motor speed setting;
• and
• wherein the processor module calculates the wait time period based on a time between when power to the motor is disabled and the motor reaches the first predetermined second motor speed.
