    摘要: A kitchen appliance includes a body defining an accessory connection surface with a sensor. The kitchen appliance further includes a first appliance accessory with a first readable module and a second appliance accessory with a second readable module. A user interface on the body includes a visual display and a plurality of buttons under the visual display that are biased towards a user to provide haptic feedback. A control system is configured to receive a signal from the sensor of the presence of the first readable module or the second readable module and identify which of the first appliance accessory and the second appliance accessory are attached to the accessory connection surface by the signal. The control system is further configured to generate a graphic on the visual display specific to the identified appliance accessory.

    摘要: A countertop appliance includes a base, a drive shaft, a first coupler, a first engagement feature, a secondary coupler assembly, a first jar assembly, and a second jar assembly. The secondary coupler assembly includes a second coupler, a gearset coupled to the second coupler, and a second engagement feature coupled to the gearset. The secondary coupler assembly is operable between a disengaged condition, wherein the second engagement feature is disengaged from the first engagement feature, and an engaged condition, wherein the second engagement feature is engaged with the first engagement feature. The second coupler is generally rotationally stationary during drive shaft rotation at a first speed in the disengaged condition of the secondary coupler assembly, and the second coupler rotates at a second speed that is less than the first speed during drive shaft rotation at the first speed in the engaged condition of the secondary coupler assembly.

    摘要: A food processing appliance includes a base configured to selectively receive a plurality of vessel types. At least one of the plurality of vessel types includes a first magnetic key that includes at least one magnet disposed in a first arrangement of magnets along at least two axes. A magnetic compass assembly that is located on the base is configured to detect a reading that includes a presence and location of magnets on the at least two axes. The food processing appliance also includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive the reading from the magnetic compass assembly and identify the at least one vessel type from the plurality of vessel types based on the first arrangement of the at least one magnet.
