Pros Quiet, crushes ice on all speeds, easy touch controls.
Cons No pour spout, base of blender is pretty heavy.
Recommended it? Yes

I received this Kitchen Aid 3-Speed Classic Blender KSB3 as a wedding gift, more then 11 years ago. I have used this blender almost weekly since, with no problems at all.

This blender has three settings : Stir, Mix, and Liquefy. There is also a button for pulse operation, and of course... Read full review »

Disappointed in my Kitchenaid Blender!!

Pros Big Blender Jar
Cons Has burned itself out twice
Recommended it? No

I wanted this blender so bad, so 5 years ago when I was planning my wedding I registered for it. Woo Hoo, I got it... But 5 years later, not so happy with it.
I had had a cheapo blender prior to this one, AND, I had burned it up making foo foo drinks, so this time around I decided I wanted a... Read full review »

Not good!

Pros Looks good
Cons Poor design, doesn't blend well, expensive.
Recommended it? No

I have sent two of these blenders back to Kitchen Aid and every time I get a replacement, it's just as crappy as the one I returned. The design of this blender is flawed due to extremely bad engineering. It does not blend ingredients well. I like to make smoothies and I use fresh fruit and fruit... Read full review »

Highly recommend!

Pros Heavy duty blender
Cons screw-on lid, rubber gasket in lid comes out easily after washing in hot water
Recommended it? Yes

I've had the 3 speed blender since 1998. This is the old style with the screw-on lid. Aside from the inherent problems with the lid, I'd rate this blender as one of the best. I'm not at all crazy about the screw-on lid, but I've gotten used to it after fours years of fairly heavy use.

Pros canister size, efficient, easy clean up
Cons smaller canister
Recommended it? Yes

The Kitchen Aid 3 speed classic blender is a great addition to my household! I have chopped and blended, whipped and pureed so many things since getting this 1 month ago! I had to replace the blender I received for a wedding gift 15 years ago and decided that since I loved my Kitchen Aid Stand... Read full review »

Great for frozen drinks. BAD for smoothies and protein shakes!

Pros Solid materials, seems durable
Cons Can't use that powerful motor to grind up a simple banana.
Recommended it? No

I'll keep this brief as there isn't much to elaborate about this product. I paid $70 bucks at the Williams Sonoma outlet. It is built like a tank and has a glass jar which is what attracted me to it. It crushes ice better than anything, in fact you have to avoid crushing the ice too much and making... Read full review »

Be careful about freezing your left-over margaritas in this!

byegrosso Aug 18, 2006
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros solid construction, nice contemporary styling, convenient cord storage, powerful
Cons hard to empty without spilling, awkward hand position required for tightening collar
Recommended it? Yes

I say that only because that's how we killed my beloved KSB3. I generally make a blender full of 'gritas, and after pouring a couple, I tuck the blender into the freezer. This generally works perfectly, for a couple of hours, keeping the 'gritas nice and slushy, but not if you leave it overnight,... Read full review »

Burned out twice by Margaritas

bymiranda00 Jul 16, 2000
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Easy to clean; hefty; glass container
Cons Burns out/locks up on frozen drinks
Recommended it? No

If you want to use your blender primarily for frozen drinks do not purchase this blender. We received the first Classic blender as a much-anticipated wedding present. It burned out less than 3 months after we received it. We had not used it particularly hard in that three months -- winter in... Read full review »

good basic tool

bydboyes Jul 20, 2002
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros simple controls, stable base, solid feel
Cons replacement parts not obviously easy to get, price
Recommended it? Yes

The KSB3 is yet another one of my replacement appliances, supplanting a early 1950s Waring bar blender left over from my college days that finally hung up it's towel and went where all good blenders go at the end of their lives. I've had it for about three and a half years, and with few exceptions,... Read full review »

The BEST Blender on the Market

bysierralink Jul 17, 2000
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great value, great results!
Cons None!
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased a Kitchen Aid 3-speed blender at my local Wal-Mart for $77.00 and it has been worth every penny. It crushes ice effortlessly, makes the best smoothies in seconds flat and is very easy to operate and clean. I like how it starts off slow at all speeds so it doesn't splatter powders on the...
