Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Sturdy metal base. Four color options. Safe for the dishwasher. Lump-free drinks and sauces.
The first thing you'll notice about the KitchenAid, at least next to other blenders, is its classic-looking design. It looks a lot like the blender my grandma had, though updated and sleeker, making it the perfect blend of vintage and modern. I really like its look.

This kitchen blender also features Intelli-Speed motor control. This technology senses the mixture of food in your blender and automatically chooses an appropriate speed to ensure that it has the right amount of power to complete the food-processing tasks.
The product has five speed-settings for ultimate performance, including stirring, chopping, mixing, pureeing, and liquefying, with an ice-crushing mode and a pulse button.
The buttons on the front panel are sleeker and more angular, and while the functions are represented by symbols, they’re easy to understand without checking the manual.
A motor control feature maintains the most appropriate speed and power as it senses the contents inside the blender.

I'm a big fan of Kitchenaid small appliances and wanted their cobalt blue blender. After considering the cost of shipping on other sites Abt had the best price. When l went to place my order l had a problem. Using the online chat my issue was quickly resolved and my order placed. My blender arrived quickly so now l have a blender l love (which matches my other small appliances) and a new place to shop.
- ABT
The machine offers excellent space and hosts handy functions which make it tackle almost any type of food that is popped into the pitcher.
With its exclusive diamond blending system, it provides the ultimate blending performance. All ingredients will blend together quickly and efficiently. You can stir, chop, mix, puree and liquify, with pulse 1-5 settings and crush ice mode.

What reviewers didn't like

Some instances of jug leakage.
Because it doesn't have the high level of power of other blenders, it may take longer to process certain foods, depending on their consistency.
-
Recipes other than smoothies do not work especially well with its blending power
Works best when food is chopped into smaller bits
- Heavy
The machine prepares the hot soup from scratch. This does not come with any heating liquids mechanism or produces hot foods using frictions.
