Customer Reviews

Great

Review by Leif Pedersen, 2010-08-30

Just what I needed. I had a Hamilton Beach, which has a jar with a small base, meaning it takes *forever* to blend anything. The wider base is better. This blends in 10 seconds what my old one blended in 5 minutes. This also means the motor runs for such a short time I'm not concerned about it burning out.

Leaky

Review by Melissa K Parker, 2010-08-25

I loved this blender for about two years, until the pitcher started leaking. I can't use it at all any more.

Review by buenhec, 2010-08-22

Its a little bit noisy but it crushes ice and makes smoothies like no other blender I have used. It looks great in the kitchen.

this product used to come with a glass carafe

Review by Sanity Clause, 2010-08-21

I have the old KSB5, which used to come with a glass carafe. It is pretty good, with a few faults. When I saw this polycarbonate carafe had replaced the original glass one, I scooped up a few of the old style KSBR5's to give as wedding presents for nieces and nephews. Why use a plastic carafe when plastic has so many health issues? - well, except that it is cheaper to manufacture, obviously. Smoothies are one thing, but we actually use ours for curries, and even for grinding idli batter: This is made by grinding raw rice and beans that have been soaked for a few hours. I don't know if Kitchenaid has cheapened the motor too, along with changing the carafe from glass to polycarbonate. Our old one has a strong, quiet motor that you can turn on and leave grinding for 5 minutes without worrying about it smoking. These people had a good product, and I cannot figure out why they wanted to mess it up. - well, except that some management genius decided that they could all become rich by cutting manufacturing costs. They guys who decided to do this probably got big bonuses for messing up a perfectly good product and lowering the status of the brand name.

this thing is great!!!....

Review by Rauphel N. Travis, 2010-08-20

I just opened the box to my new kitchenaid blender a few minutes ago. I'm already amazed! I made a smoothie with raw broccoli, carrots and apples along with a little OJ to help the process. let me tell you it came out so smooth (in less then one minute) I can't beleave it. I've had a (1000watt) Breville BBl800XL blender for the past 2 years and I thought I was Saticfied. but the breville 800 has no speed selection it only has three settings, a one min auto blend, one min auto blend/pulse and one min auto pulse. on each setting the blades turn at just about the same low speed. boesn't make much noise but it doesn't blend tuff gritty foods like raw broccoli or apples very well eather. unless you stand by the blender and press the besired butten after it stops it's one minute cycle, 4 or 5 times in a row. and that was a $299.99 blender. I paid $94.99 for this kitchenaid and after one use I know it's better for me then any thing else I've tryed and I've tryed a lot. it did a better job of smoothing out the lumps of my smoothie in less then 1/5 the time. so if you want a blender to make raw green food smoothies that don't feel like you still have to chew them. Get this kitchenaid and call it a day.
