KitchenAid KSB560 5 Speed Blender Reviews

We knew we needed a blender for two simple reasons: homemade salsa and yogurt smoothies! Both of those items were really tough to make by hand. But shopping for a blender wasn't much fun. I read review after review, discouraged by high prices and low quality. Then a friend told me about Kitchenaid's blender. Already the happy owner of a Kitchenaid stand mixer, I decided to investigate and see how their blender stacked up. — — I was delighted to find hundreds of positive reviews, but the bargain price made me wonder if perhaps this kitchen gadget didn't have quite the same… read full review »

I have had a few $30-$40 blenders that only sometimes worked well or that died within a year.  So, this time, I decided to spend the extra money and get a really good blender.  Trust me, it was worth the extra money. — Both my husband and I really like fruit smoothies, and it is nice to finally have a blender that mixes the ingredients together really well.  It has no problems with an entire pound of frozen strawberries added to ice cream.  The container is large enough (56 ounces) to handle more volume than any other blender I've ever used.  In addition, we… read full review »

This is the second blender I bought this go-round - the one I actually kept.  I wanted top-of the-line for home use; if you want to do icy beverages without the motor sounding like its begging for mercy, this is the one for you!  The Cuisinart in the same price-range is the one that went… read full review »

The Kitchen Aid Blender is fabulous for shakes - even blended ice shakes!  Just be sure to follow these steps when making your shakes and you can't go wrong! — Put in your fruit and/vegetables first and blend on puree.  Add the ice next and blend on puree again.  Don't forget the PULSE button is great to get those larger pieces cut down to size!  Add your liquid/eggs/powders next and use liquify.  Your shake will be smoooooooooooooooooooth! — Be sure to clean your Kitchen Aid right away.  —… read full review »

The kitchen-aid 5 speed blender is amazing.  I was a little hesitant spending over 100 dollars on a blender, when I see them for 30 bucks all the time, but this purchase really showed me that you do get what you pay for.  with past cheaper blenders, it would take 20 minutes to make a smoothie because all the ingredients would get caught, but not with this very impressive product.  Ice is crushed to a smooth consistency within seconds...no fiddling with the machine.  Absolutely the… read full review »

This is the all-time greatest blender that I've ever used !  It crushes ice to snow consistency in seconds.  I loved it so much that I got one for my parent's house for when I visit !  It's great to be able to make your own frappies and smoothies in seconds without getting dressed and going out.  Especially if you live in the boonies  LOL  … read full review »

This is a great blender. It has more power than most commercial blenders and clean up breeze. Fruit and vegetables blend to make great smoothies. The blade stays sharp and the glass is solid, and the base is very stable . Everything but the lid is dishwasher safe, and the lid is if you don't have a dry cycle. I highly recommend this blender. —… read full review »
