 A blender that can't make a smoothie? July 27, 2008
Brase
This blender cannot make a smoothie containing ice. An air pocket forms every single time. One spends a lot of time opening it and trying to push down the contents so the blade will make contact, which it then does for about 2 seconds. It is practically useless, and a big disappointment to find the KitchenAid name on such a poorly engineered appliance.
 Poor design and bad reliability July 9, 2008
E. J Tastad (Marion, IA United States)
Pros:
Feels high quality
Easy to clean controls
Glass beaker
Cons:
Poor design doesn't deal with ice well
Coupling is unreliable and needs regular replacing (every 30 uses or so).
Who should buy this blender? Avoid this blender as it is a poor design. I have owned this blender for 8 years and have always been frustrated with it. I have finally decided to trash it after endless frustration and get something cheap to replace it (even if it won't feel as nice).
Update: After looking around, other blenders have similar frustrations. Since the coupling is only a 4 or $5 part I guess I will just put up with changing it regularly. One note, if you grind ice or frozen fruit in here be sure to have enough liquid with the ice or it won't grind.
Update 2: Now that I got the new couplers, I found why the other had failed. The blade assembly froze (blades no longer turn). To replace in the older blender with the screw on lid you have to replace the entire jar. If you have the push on lid the blades can be purchased separately. Now I have 3 extra couplers and a piece of junk.
Coupling breaks easily January 29, 2008
J. Thoreson (Seattle, WA)
The plastic coupling between the motor and the blades broke when trying to blend a frozen banana and milk. Seems to be a consistent design flaw. Overall, I'm not impressed with this blender. I prefer the Oster blenders.
Oversized Paperweight September 15, 2007
Kimberly A. Goodwin (Massachusetts)
Stay away from this blender...It's an overgrown paperweight! The motor smells everytime when using it and cannot handle ice crushing at all. Leaves chunks of ice behind after each use and gets worse with time. We've barely used this blender and after only a handful of uses, it's true colors are now showing. I just purchased the Oster Classic Chrome Behive blender from Amazon and it totally outshines Kitchen Aid! Kitchen Aid are only good for their pastry mixers.
Coupler broke April 27, 2007
A. Holton (NC)
If I had read the reviews before I purchased this blender I wouldn't have bought it. My coupler broke - the rubber part just doesn't seem well made especially when it connects into a metal piece. I can't find my receipt - besides which Kitchenaid requires that you pay postage to get the blender fixed. I may as well order the part myself and fix it.
Moral of the story - read the reviews first, then buy!
