Instant Pot Cooking Blender

I apologize if someone's already mentioned this and I simply missed it, but apparently Instant Pot's new product - a blender that cooks - will be a Walmart exclusive. Given the company's history with Amazon, that seems a bit odd.

That was my first thought, too, a subset of the Thermomix' capabilities at a much more consumer-friendly price. Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

I'm almost intrigued enough to darken the door of my local Walmart.

 

I do find it interesting that the three articles in the initial post of this topic all talk about this product as being revolutionary. Obviously, the people writing and editing the articles are unfamiliar with the Thermomix!

Vitamix can heat up a soup to a piping hot temperature. But that’s solely from the friction. Does this have a heating element?

 

There are settings for heat blending and regular blending. I infer the element, but couldnt find specific mention of it.
