About this item
- Blending is a breeze with the 3 part blending system, made of the blender's vortex-creating ribbed jar design, unique asymmetric blade, and the smarts behind the Intelli-Speed Motor Control, which automatically senses contents and maintains the optimal speed for a better blend.
- Quickly blend and take on notoriously tough ingredients like kale and almonds with ease, so you quickly turn whole foods into smoothies and enjoy.
- Self-clean cycle for easy clean-up - just add water and a drop of soap to the jar and run the self-clean cycle for quick, easy clean-up.
- Easily create a range of textures with the variable speed dial, from smooth to chunky, or select from 3 preset recipe programs: Ice Crush, Icy Drink, or Smoothie.
- Soft Start feature starts at the right speed - the motor automatically starts at a slower speed to pull ingredients into the blade, then quickly increases to the selected speed to avoid splatter.

The only con I have is that it’s very loud but it is a POWERFUL blender so I don’t mind. I also think for the price it should come with a glass pitcher vs plastic. The gear that turns the blade is plastic and I worry about longevity but time will tell. Overall very pleased with this blender!
We have a vitamix I've used at work for years, and this matches it in blending power and consistency for sure. It is easier to clean since the bottom of the blender is a bit wider, making it easier to scoop food out of it. It has a self-clean mode that works well. It is loud for sure, but so are most of the blenders I've used. I've used this blender 2-3 times a week for a year and it is simple and easy. As far as the folks complaining about the controls, I just don't get it. If you want to blend like on a vitamix, you select your blend speed on the 0-5 range and blend. If you want to make a smoothie, you select smoothie and push the start button. It has a built in timer and stops when it's done. Want to crush ice? Select ice crush. That's seriously all you have to do. It doesn't get much easier than this folks. I guess people either refuse to read a quick guide or won't do anything their smartphone doesn't control for them.
I definitely recommend this blender for anyone looking to spend less than Blendtec or Vitamix but able to spend enough for a premium blender. I am not paid by kitchenaid and bought this myself.
The positive reviews for this machine helped me make my final decision to buy it.
When I opened the box I immediately liked the machine. It was very attractive. It was heavy and seemed like a solid machine that would last a long time.
When reading the reviews of comparable machines, the negative reviews contained comments and images of broken pitchers and described plastic bits winding up in the blended food, so when I began using my new Kitchen Aid machine I kept this in mind.
I never used ice in the machine and never put pieces in that would break the pitcher or slow down the motor. When using the machine I would always gently pulse the food several times first to break up the food before raising the speed to blend. I was very, very careful so the blender would last a long time.
I used the blender less than 20 times in November and December 2019. I liked it and it worked well enough.
I bought the machine to make smoothies but that only lasted a few weeks and so almost a year passed before the blender was used again.
My wife used the blender about a week ago (November 2020). She used only liquid ingredients to make a salad dressing, and was gentle with it. The machine made a terrible grinding sound and after cleaning out the pitcher we found the blade component had loosened up and was flopping around the bottom of the pitcher. It was melted and shredded and plastic was in our food. Please see the pictures I uploaded.
I tried inquiring about a replacement part at the Kitchen Aid website with no luck. I was on hold for almost an hour before I gave up. I tried the chat with no luck. The website parts page was no help either.
It seems I am now stuck with an expensive machine I barely used and is now worthless. As you can imagine, I do not recommend this machine or the Kitchen Aid company.
We were a big fan of Kitchen Aid products for many years and many of our appliances are from this company. After the experience with this product and the impossible experience at the Kitchen Aid site this will be the last time we buy from this company.

It makes great smoothies, crushes ice quickly and blends food to a beautiful smooth texture. Also really love the wash / clean setting on it.
As for the blender ... it’s a solid unit. The cup is not glass as some have commented. A glass one can be ordered but the one included is plastic (56oz). Heavy, solid plastic so I have no complaint. It won’t shatter.
Rotated to the right, the dial control takes you from pulse (turned furthest to the left ), off, speeds 1 through 5, then the preset cycles (which I love), crushed ice, icy beverage (my margarita), smoothies, and self clean.
For the margaritas, with my ingredients in the cup, I turned the dial from left to right to the icy drink preset, and pressed the “play” button which started the cycle of alternating speeds from low to high over about 30 seconds, that turned all the ingredients (24 ice cubes, 4oz tequila, 2 oz triple sec, 2 oz lime juice, 2 oz simple syrup, sprinkle of kosher salt) into an amazingly smooth, almost fluffy cocktail enjoyed by all.
My son has made impressive smoothies with frozen fruit, fresh bananas.and yoghurt. Again the “smoothie” cycle varied speeds for superb blending results.
Clean up consists of rinsing and half filling the container with warm water and 2 drops of soap. The “cleaning” cycle alternates speeds and provides cleaning results similar to our dishwasher. All around an excellent product. Powerfully crushes ice and blends to make anyone look like a cocktail wizard. I’d recommend!
