Overview
Built for professional kitchens, the Robot Coupe R401B pairs a 4.5-quart stainless steel bowl with a single-speed S-blade and a 1.5 HP direct drive induction motor on 120V. A 3-button panel with pulse control and an included honing stone round out the package.
Robot Coupe positions the R401B as a batch processor rather than a continuous-feed machine, everything happens in the bowl rather than through a hopper. The included honing stone and scraper are a small but practical detail, letting kitchen staff maintain blade sharpness and clear the bowl without extra tools.
- 4.5-quart stainless steel bowl
- S-blade at 1725 rpm
- 3-button control panel with pulse
- 1.5 HP induction motor, 120V
Who it's for
Aimed at professional kitchens that need batch chopping, pureeing or emulsifying rather than continuous-feed volume. Home cooks wanting a compact processor should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- 1.5 HP direct drive induction motor
- Includes honing stone and scraper for upkeep
- Simple 3-button panel with pulse control
- Single speed only, no variable control
Performance notes
A 1.5 HP direct drive induction motor turns the smooth S-blade at a single speed of 1725 rpm, so output consistency comes from blade design and bowl geometry rather than variable speed control. The 3-button panel with a pulse option gives an operator finer control over how coarse or fine the final texture ends up.
