Zusammenfassung:	A countertop appliance (10) includes a base (12), a drive shaft (16), a first coupler (18), a first engagement feature (20), and a secondary coupler assembly (22). The secondary coupler assembly (22) includes a second coupler (24), a gearset (26) coupled to the second coupler (24), and a second engagement feature (28) coupled to the gearset (26). The secondary coupler assembly (22) is operable between a disengaged condition, wherein the second engagement feature (28) is disengaged from the first engagement feature (20), and an engaged condition, wherein the second engagement feature (28) is engaged with the first engagement feature (20). The second coupler (24) is generally rotationally stationary during drive shaft rotation at a first speed in the disengaged condition of the secondary coupler assembly (22), and the second coupler (24) 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 (22).
