a kitchen tornado that turns whole fruit into smoothies and ice into snow on command
means An electric kitchen appliance with whirling blades that liquefies, purees, or crushes food and ice into a smooth mixture.
from From the verb 'blend,' which traces back to Old Norse 'blanda,' meaning to mix or mingle, related to Old English 'blandan.' The '-er' suffix marks it as the thing that does the blending — so a 'blender' is literally 'a mixer,' a name that arrived with the electric appliance itself in the early 20th century.
