Like Springsteen himself, Breville's new blender called "The Boss" ($449.99; breville.com) offers up full-throttle power and doesn't tire easily. The high-tech model purées soups and smoothies at lightning-fast speed, and it can take on tougher ingredients, too, crushing nuts into butter and milling whole grains without a rattle. It also features an autoclean function and a shutdown timer, so you can saunter away while it blends.
