Sleek, beautiful and quiet

September 13, 2011

"I had been searching for a blender since I bought my house. My parents have a Vitamix which I considered buying myself, but I just didn't want to spend that amount of money. Especially since I mostly blend, hence I decided to buy a blender!

So needless to say, I love this blender so far! I have not tried crushing ice yet, but everything else is working fantastically! I think what amazed me most is it's quietness. I can't remember any blender ever being this quiet. I've had top blenders that didn't even blend blueberries very well for fruit shakes, but this KitchenAid did that at ease. It is sleek and fits design wise to my new kitchen! I could even imagine it fitting into a retro kitchen. I've used my KitchenAid daily and would definitely recommend it for the beginner to advanced blenderer!"

Base leaks

June 9, 2013

"Received this as gift off wedding registry. Looks great, worked very well with use 4-6x/week. No complaints until noticed leak from base after 3 months use. Initially is was small but with each use became worse until one morning nearly all of smoothie ended up on counter. Identified problem as loose nut on blade assembly that allowed washer to separate from base and contents leaked out. Tightened nut and thought problem was fixed but after 1-2 more uses nut loosened again. Now will try to contact kitchen aid for replacement. Hoping this is just a fluke and all bases won't end up doing this."

Great at first--Watch out! LEAKS LIKE CRAZY!

March 23, 2013

"This is a great and powerful blender and it was great for a couple of months and then bam! I just thought it was the screw and the blade on either side of the blender. I tightened it and it was great. For a day. Imagine making a flan and you have a dozen eggs in there and all of sudden the bolt undoes and you have egg all over the place.

I tightened it again and I'm tired of having it leak and lucky the motor still works. This blender is going BACK to KitchenAide. It seems it just strips and won't tighten again.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!!"

Kitchen Aid Blender

January 31, 2013

"Performance is excellent, however, the glass jar started leaking after 12 months of use. My previous inexpensive blender worked for 15 years, with no problems. Disappointing. From now on, I plan to only purchase Cuisinart as they typically have a 3-yr warranty on their products."

Just Ok

"It looks good, no too much noise and discreet. But the lid doesn´t fit properly so if the jar is 70% full, it leaks. But design..."

NOT GOOD

October 29, 2012

"I bought this one year and one month ago. The blender started leaking from the bottom and is now not working. I am frustrated, as it seems that I can't find any quality in a blender. I figured this one would provide that since it was glass... no such luck!! I would recommend a better quality blender, not this one."

Very happy

July 16, 2012

"Got this blender two months ago. I use it every couple of days, and it has been fantastic so far. I don't think it's particularly quiet, but I don't need it to be. Works well and looks great."

Quiet, sturdy, dependable blender

June 26, 2012

"I was tired of flimsy blenders that tipped over easily and shook when blending anything other than smoothies. This Kitchenaid blender is heavy and very well-balanced. It runs quietly and gets the job done quickly. And it holds a lot!
Thanks, Kitchenaid!"

Love the function but they didn't get the color right!

June 10, 2012

"Blender works wonderfully. I have no choice but to leave it on counter and the color clashes with every other applicance -- even the Kitchen Aid food processor. Wish they'd made a plain ole chrome or stainless instead of the lacquered stuff!"

Awesome Value!

June 9, 2012

"I bought this blender about six months ago and have used it nearly every day since to make a green drink. I put whole apples, lemons, celery, cucumbers (usually peeled), ginger and kale and it blends to as smooth a texture as I like, even puree. I also often add ice to chill the drink and the Architect tackles that too, no problem. This is a fantastic blender, easy to use and clean. You won't find a better one for the money."

Started out well, but...

April 27, 2012

"Unfortunately our love of this product quickly faded. It worked great initially - quiet, quick, & powerful. However, after about only 3 months or so, the strength of the motor and blades seemed to decrease significantly. That was not the most terrible thing to deal with, as it still worked, but just took longer to blend smoothies. However, the slowly expanding size of the lid has been just awful. We have been gentle and careful with the lid, washing it by hand only. Somehow, the plastic has expanded to the point that it no longer fits into the blender at all! We have to fight, push, and bang it into place, but there is still a large gap (despite lining up the arrown with the pouring spout). Trying to remove the lid is even more difficult. I haven't had a chance to contact Kitchenaid for a solution, but we may just return the item."

Poor quality

April 26, 2012

"I bought one just over a year ago-but it got much less use, as we are "snowbirds", and only in FL 8 months of the year. When I went to use it recently, the engine was roaring, but nothing was happening in the container. When I poured out the milkshake to investigate, the pieces of the mixing blades fell out, also. Mystery solved, BUT IS THIS QUALITY? Save your money,"
