Is Kitchen Aid Blender Really Your Kitchen Aid ?

KitchenAid blenders are a staple in many restaurants and bakery's around the world and are also used in most culinary institutes to teach the students.

Having had personal experience with the KitchenAid brand over the last ten years I cannot say I have been disappointed with the quality of the products they offer.

Besides, the brand also boasts a great one year warranty and it is as follows as stated from their website:

"If your kitchen electric or counter-top appliance of cook's tool fails during the first year, KitchenAid will replace it free of charge. Our hassle-Free replacement warranty guarantees that we will deliver a replacement right to your door, arrange the return of the failed appliance, and guarantee the new appliance for one year."

That is a pretty strong offer.

But then, the million dollar question is: Are KitchenAid blenders suitable for you ?

To answer that, we have to get a closer look to see what they offer and see if we can find one that matches your needs.

Short Reviews on KitchenAid Blender - KSB 560 and KSB 580 Series

The flagship of the KitchenAid blender line is the Kitchen Aid 5-speed blender, KSB56O and the KSB580, are both identical in statistics.

They share the same size, same weight, same construction. They all boast:

• Five speeds
• Same dimension: a nine inch depth, 15.25 inches in height, and a width of seven and 5/16th's of an inch.
• A solid and stable metal base design with a scratch- and stain-resistant 56 oz polycarbonite jar.
• Many colors to choose from.

These Kitchen Aid blenders are also durable and powerful. With 0.9 horsepower, or around 670 watt in power, it is suitable for making thick smoothies and pureed soup everyday. Many easier tasks, such as mixing drink, whipping cream, and making pesto and salad dressing, can undoubtedly be completed easily. Finally, if you're fond of crushing ice, you can accomplish it using these blenders.

Another blender product from KitchenAid with the same mechanical spec and ability as KSB560B and KSB580, save for the extra pound of weight is KSB560PK. Notice the PK there ? This particular Kitchen Aid blender is coded PK because it is only available in pink.

The reason its only available in pink is that this model is part of the "Cook for the Cure" campaign where a portion of each of the KitchenAid Blenders that are sold under this campaign, goes for breast cancer. I find it to be a very creative way for a company to help with a serious cause.

Kitchen Aid Blender Reviews ~ KSB465

KitchenAid KSB465 is a low cost alternative to the above models already mentioned, being 25% or so cheaper. Lower price comes with a price, though, and that is the less impressive statistics than its siblings, the 5-speed KitchenAid blender mentioned above.

Below are some of the KitchenAid KSB465 features:

• Four speeds
• Dimension: 8.75 inch in depth, 14 and 7/16th's inch in height, andfive and 13/16th's of an inch in width.
• Combo Plastic and Metal base design which makes it less stable than the KSB 560 and 580.
• A 48 oz Polycarbonite Jar

From the spec above, you can see that KSB465's built is inferior compared to the more expensive models. Nevertheless, they are still good blenders with capability similar to the 5-speed blender series.
