Customer Review: This blender is worth the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this blender, after becoming fed up with my old $20 blender. I do not regret this purchase at all! I bought it primarily for the ice crushing capability, and it didn't disappoint. I tossed all the fixings for a milkshake - including whole ice cubes - and within seconds, it was finished. It only left two tiny pebbles of ice that probably would have been taken care of had I not been antsy for my shake. I've also been pleased with other features; thick ingredients don't get trapped under the blades, the motor hasn't bogged down under cups of ingredients, the wide jar is convenient, it's quiet by blender standards, and the best feature is that it's *solid*. I'd have to have one hand on the lid and one hand on the base of my other blender when mixing, and it was so liberating to hit the "liquefy" button and let go. The touchpad is a breeze to clean, and the unit comes apart for washing very easily. The lid has to be the best I've ever seen on a blender - snug fitting and built to resist flying off. Granted, it's much more expensive than most blenders on the market, but I feel the ease-of-use is well worth it. I have yet to get as frustrated with this blender as I have been with cheaper models - not even close! Having already been through two cheaper blenders, it makes sense to splurge once and not buy another. Another score for KitchenAid's quality reputation.
Description of KitchenAid KSB5 5-Speed Blender, Cobalt Blue
Whirl up a fruit and yogurt smoothie and get your morning off to a healthy, energizing start. Or wind down after work with an icy cold margarita. But that's just the beginning: chop ice, grind coffee beans, puree soup and more.This is the blender of the future. It performs all the traditional blending tasks (crushing ice for margaritas, thinning ice cream) plus it can be used like a food processor (mincing garlic, puréeing peppers). The wide jar is rounder and squatter than old-style blenders, which makes it easier to reach in and scrape the sides (when the blender is off!). To reduce splatters of strawberry daiquiri, the Step Start feature starts blending slowly, then picks up to the chosen speed. This blender also comes with a booklet containing 75 recipes--my favorite is the Frosty Chocolate Raspberry Latté. --Dana Van Nest
Editor's Choice:KitchenAid's five-speed blender has a number of functions that set it above the crowd as our choice for best blender under $100. It starts with the five speed settings and the pulse function, which works at any of the speeds--a really nice touch. The blender's 40-ounce glass jar has a squat shape, making it more manageable than taller blenders, and comes completely apart.
