Pros powerful, easy-to-clean, solid construction
Cons measuring cap is hard to remove
Recommended it? Yes

I got rid of a lot of stuff before my recent interstate move. Some went to Goodwill; some stuff went straight into the garbage can. One of the items that I most happily tossed into the garbage was my underpowered and pretty much worthless Oster blender. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting it. As for... Read full review »

Pros extremely reliable and a true workhorse.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I used this blender at least 3 times a day for breakfast & pre/post-workout smoothies. I purchased it almost 8yrs ago and it finally broke. I plan on replacing the part and using it at work. Overall with the amount of use this has had busting ice, fruit, oatmeal, etc... for the time I had it was... Read full review »

Not Durable

Pros Meets expectations for a while.
Cons Plastic drive shaft didn't hold up to our use.
Recommended it? No

We bought it to "crush ice at any speed," and because it was a "KITCHENAIDE." It worked nicely for one year; the length of the warranty. Then, the drive shaft broke, again and again until all the hard plastic propeller pieces were gone.

I had crushed ice with it a minimum of three times... Read full review »

Pros Longevity, easy cleaning
Cons None that I've experienced
Recommended it? Yes

This model has been around for years. I'm sure if the other review was correct they'd have stopped producing these things long ago.

I've had mine about 4 years now. I've used it almost daily -- I make a protein shake most every morning that always includes ice cubes and sometimes frozen... Read full review »

Expensive does not mean better

Pros nothing, it doesn't do the one thing it should!
Cons a blender that doesn't blend?
Recommended it? No

This blender could not make a smoothie to save its life. While it may look nice, the main problem is, it only blends what is directly around the blades and nothing else. Everything above the blades does not move. Like an iron, opt for a less expensive brand and model. Read full review »

Pros good blender for most uses.
Cons design flaw with the coupler. Will be able to use only 1-5 years.
Recommended it? No

I have had my KitchenAid blender about 4 years. We use it occasionally for smoothies and rarely anything else. The rubber teeth on the coupler disintegrated during use. I was told I had to send it to the company for 20.00 and they would look at it and give me an estimate on the cost of repair. I... Read full review »

Pros Good job of chopping ice and matching color appliances available.
Cons Expensive blender which is not repairable. The $8.00 rubber part cannot be installed.
Recommended it? No

I was a big fan of Kitchen Aid, and have enjoyed consistent use of my mixer for over 30 years. I thought their other products would also be high quality, but not so. I bought the blender and the rubber teeth have come off. I was able to get a replacement part but there is no way I could find to to... Read full review »

Pros Attractive... powerful
Cons Doesn't last... cheap part.
Recommended it? No

I've had this blender about 3 years to replace a Cuisinart that was used many times for about 7 years. It has done a good job, but I noticed the rubber teeth on the coupling in the base starting to disintegrate after a year or so. Well now all the teeth have disintegrated in the middle of making a...

Pros Red color matches kitchen decor.
Cons Broke quickly, cannot be repaired. NOT a good value, $100 for less than a year.
Recommended it? No

Rubber teeth on base tear off quickly. Used machine on weekends to blend smoothies. Within 7-8 months of minimal use I noticed rubber teeth starting to tear. I contacted company to obtain replacement part and was told only authorized repair center could perform warranty work. I live in a major... Read full review »

rubber teeth tear off

Pros looks nice
Cons not durable
Recommended it? No

Avoid this machine. The rubber teeth at the base used to turn the blades of this blender with wear quickly and break off. Not replaceable. Who ever designed this very flawed blender probably smokes ghanja on their lunch breaks. Read full review »
