KitchenAid Blue Willow 5-Speed Blender, Model KSB560BW

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 an array of designer color 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 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.

    So far I have mainly used this to made iced cappuccino's and it has been flawless. I make at least 3 a day for the last 3 weeks using standard ice cubes and it shredded it perfect. I've also made smoothies using frozen slices of banana's and strawberries and it goes through them like nothing. The only other was I've used it was to chop pickles to put in a tuna sandhwich meat and it worked great at that too. I just dropped pickles one by one in the hole on top and presto! Got finely chopped pickles! I do have to say I at times have smelled the motor (like a slight burning smell) when initially crushing the ice but I'm slowing starting not smell anything anymore. Maybe it just needed to break in. The motor is loud but how quiet do you really expect a blender to be? It's doing was it was meant to do. So far it was worked great for me and I love it!

    The first few times I used this blender I would have given it 5 starts. It has a good amount of power, I like the size of pitcher & ease of cleaning it, as well as how it looks.

    However, after using it the first few times everytime I blend something it leaks. The blade seems to be loose, though we've tighten it several times it still leaks all over everytime I use it.

    It does an okay job at blending, though it's certainly not smooth, but I mainly make fruit smoothies with it & a little chunky is okay.

    Overall I'm disappointed.

          Comments about KitchenAid 5-Speed Blender - Red Finish:

          This product is great. This is probably the best piece in my kitchen. It is very well made and its all motor. I make protein shakes and I use frozen strawberries and ice with no problem what-so-ever. I love the fact that the controls are so very easy to use, plus it gives you several options. As a matter of fact, the motor is so powerful, that when you are using the "crush ice" button, you can't walk away; because as tight as the lid fits, and it's tight, while its crushing whatever frozen item you put in there, on each pulsation the lid slowly tries to pop off. Its powerful people. Another plus is that when you are done, the pitcher comes right off and washes out very easily. I have had several people over and made them smoothies, they were very impressed. Now they will be looking into getting the KitchenAid 5. This was the only one out of six blenders that actually obliterated a whole apple into a smoothie until there were no pieces left. None of the other blenders comperable to this one could do that. That was the main reason I picked the Kitchenaid 5. I also got it at a good price. If your going to invest, get the Kitchenaid 5, that way you won't be buying another one years later. I have not run into any problems or negatives about this blender.

                This thing is sturdy as heck. Its pitcher is rock solid and thick and virtually unbreakable. It's all one piece, meaning no more taking apart the bottom blade, rubber O ring, etc. Only the top is separate. It's dishwasher safe, too.
