[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this product because we have purchased other KitchenAid products. The blender did not disappoint. It is quiet, quick and does an excellent job of liquifying anything from fruit to vegetables. Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace the prior Kitchenaid blender that we had for many years. The primary use has been to make fresh smoothies. This updated model works better than the old faithful machine and liquefies fruit and other ingredients really well; very nice smoothie machine at a great price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a wedding shower gift and it is awesome. Makes smoothies so easily and fast and it isn't as loud as other blenders. The base is very heavy. The blending cup is plastic, not glass. But it doesn't come apart for cleaning. But blending soapy water is a very easy way to clean. It chops ice and frozen fruit very easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this blender! Bought it to start making those morning smoothies. It chops up frozen fruit beautifully. It handles frozen veggies, bananas, and whatever else I might toss in there. It easily makes those items into a smooth drink with no "clumps". Very happy with it and it was well priced as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the most powerful yet quiet machines on the market. Reseached a lot before I bought this and would highly recommend it. Goes through ice never getting jammed and a perfect smoothie everytime.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this firstly because I love KitchenAid,the price was right, and I am happy I did. The blender is great and easy to clean. Only had this a couple of weeks and have used many times. I love this blender.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a Fathers' Day gift from my wife. So far it's worked great for smoothies, handling ice without issue. The material of the pitcher is very similar to other high-end blenders and is easy to clean. Would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a competetors blender I had for about 2 years. I am very pleased with the performance and all the features this blender has. I have a kitchen aide mixer and toaster. Kitchenaide is by far the maker of best brands out there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Struggles sometimes with smoothies, you have to prepare them a little more watery than preferred. Also, the clutch below the blender jar melted pretty quickly, enough so the blades stopped turning. It works well enough for normal use, though. With that said, because I registered my product, customer service was great. They were immediately willing to replace either the jar or the entire product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this blender as a replacement when my former blender quit working I am very pleased with the KitchenAide 5-speed Classic Blender. I use my blender mostly for soups these days. It does an excellent job of blending the various ingredients. It is well made and easy to clean. I was hesitant to purchase because of the integrated blade, but after using it, am very happy with the design.
