[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this blender is good! it often gets clogged up and i have to add more liquid a lot. even when its fully blended it gets stuck and doesnt do that thing where it blends and looks so smooth. it's weird but it eventually blends so i guess it is working fine! love the color blue as well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Prior to this purchase, I believed that all blenders were sort of wimpy and that for real power you had to pay hundreds of dollars for a smoothie maker/ice crusher. I am so glad I was wrong. This KitchenAid blender packs a punch! I'm also pleased with ease of cleaning. Clean up is quick enough to make actually using the blender worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blenders get a huge workout at my house. I use them constantly. Not only do I make lots of protein shakes for a quick and healthy meal option, I make lots of fruit shakes for friends. Those fruit shakes contain nothing but juice and frozen fruits, and the blender has to work to power through those frozen strawberries, peaches, and bananas. I purchased a Ninja 2 years ago. I liked it, and it worked pretty well for quite a while. However, I began to notice that it was starting to really struggle to chop through ice and frozen fruits. Also, the upper blade had gotten stuck and I could not separate it for better cleaning. Before it bit the dust completely, I began looking at buying a new blender. I decided to go with KitchenAid instead because of their reputation for quality. I was hoping to get a blender that would last longer and do the job better and faster. I'm glad I purchased when I did because days later, the upper blade on my Ninja completely wore through the plastic and now spins freely instead of chopping into the contents of the blender. I have used my KitchenAid countless times since I bought it, and I am very pleased. I can't say what its longevity will be, but its performance is excellent. I hope I'm done with blender shopping for a very long time to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used my blender 2 times and when I went to put it away, I found that something is rattling around in the base. So far the loose screw or whatever is rattling around in there hasn't effected the blenders performance, but I'm concerned as time goes on it will be a problem.

I started making smoothing daily about a year ago with this blender. It was fine at first, it would stop a lot and I'd have to stir up the frozen strawberries and start it back up. Then it started leaking and I'd tighten up the bolt on the bottom and that would last for a couple weeks and then re-tighten. Now I have to re-tighten the bolt before every use and it still leaks. We had it about 9 years but I really only started using it within the past year so I'd say don't expect to get more than a year out of this blender.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this model a few years ago, and only took it out of the box recently. The plastic container and plastic lid have a very bad smell and despite washing it repeatedly, the odor/smell remains. Anything made in it have an aftertaste. Mechanically, it works well, other than this weird odor from the plastic. What is wrong with a glass container? Anyone else experiencing this?
