Product Details

KitchenAid Custom Metallic Series 5 Speed Blender - KSB580NK

The unique pitcher shape, patented blade and powerful 0.9 horsepower motor provide fast, consistent blending that can crush a pitcher of ice within seconds. In fact, this model is the most powerful premium blender currently available. And you'll get to choose from a selection of metallic finishes.

Features:

  • Patented stainless steel blade tines are positioned on four different planes for fast, thorough and consistent blending. Blade assembly is built into pitcher for easy handling and cleanup.
  • Commercial-quality, steel-reinforced coupler with 12 interlocking teeth provides direct transfer of motor power to the blade.
  • Built for continual blending. Advanced airflow design keeps blender cool during continued use.
  • Heavy, die-cast metal base ensures stable, quiet operation when blending. Plus, four rubber feet on wide base provide a nonslip, non-marring grip.
  • Pitcher contours direct ingredients into the blade for fast, thorough blending.
  • The base is plated a minimum of five times for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish with a deep, lustrous appearance.
  • The 56-ounce one-piece pitcher is made of commercial-grade polycarbonate. It is scratch, stain and shatter-resistant. The handle features a soft inner grip for comfortable, nonslip control.
  • The pitcher's built-in drain holes eliminate food traps and the need to disassemble - which makes cleaning easier.
  • The Intelli-Speed™ controls and adjusts power to compensate for thicker mixtures.
  • Automatic Crush Ice Button. Pulses at staggered intervals at an optimal speed to increase blade contact with ice and improve crushing efficiency.
  • Smooth, seamless control pad wipes clean in an instant.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
We bought this for our second home, after using one in our primary residence for over a year. There is no other blender that can make smoothies as nice as ones produced with this machine. Nice big pitcher, easy clean-up and a solid, stable base.

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
i tried to blend small amount of beans and rice and because it doesnt have a slow start it shot most of it up to the top of the pitcher so i had to scrape everything back down, blend again, scrape everything down...I love it for making sorbet, blends the fruit very fine compared to the last blender i had....so i guess this blender is fine if you have alot of stuff in it....the pitcher is much easier to clean and lighter then the last one i had...however the base is very heavy.

Best Ever Blender

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I was looking at a Vita Mix, but didn't want to spend the $$$$$, especially since I have a perfectly good food processor (that I wasn't using very much). My old (1980's) Hamilton Beach blender was only operating with one speed, so I did plenty of research on blenders and chose the KitchenAid. I also bought a new cookbook on maximizing the food processor, so now I am using both appliances daily and loving the results.

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is the best blender I have owned. It makes smoothies literally in seconds, I start with crush than switch to liquify and I get the best texture (no pieces of ice at all) I searched for months and decided on the KitchenAid, I'm sooo happy I did! I have been using it almost everyday for more than 3 weeks now and its performance is awesome. Cleaning is easy, after each use I fill it with warm water and a drop of dish soap put it back on the base and press the stir button, it really does it job and cleans it! after that just clean the outside and rinse it. Let me not forget... ABT IS GREAT! I never heard of the place before but read fantastic reviews about them so I went ahead and made my purchase..sooo glad I did! [...]

I mostly use it to make protein shakes. It does a very good job but sometimes either ice or frozen fruit stays whole. It gets stock and is not able to crush the ice or frozen fruit.

The KSB580 has a better base quality (more commercial) then the KSB560 found at local stores. Abt's price for the 580 was still cheaper then the local store 560. Great blender. I use it mostly for crushing ice and making smoothies. It's variable ice crush setting is amazing. No more ice clumps! It's also not too loud. Great product, highly recommended.

This is an outstanding blender. We use it primarily to make smoothies with frozen fruit and ice, and it does a great job blending this mixture. The plastic pitcher is actually superior to glass - just as strong and not nearly as likely to break if you drop it on a tile floor.

Good So Far But Wait
Reviewed by James (Casual Cook) from Charlotte, NC on Dec 04, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This blender seems great so far with one exception. The way it starts slow then builds up speed works well to draw ingredients together, but it splatters at first if the top isn't mashed on. So if you're mixing in ingredients or working with hot foods, HOLD THE LID ON. Otherwise, it seems powerful and it's definitely fast. Hopefully it won't burn out the way our other blenders have.
Pros: Stable, Precise Control, Easy To Clean, Powerful, Good Pitcher
