Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Love’

I’ve always really hated using blenders, mainly because they are such a pain to clean. Now that I’m pureeing my baby’s food, I’m forced to use a blender on a regular basis. I bought this one after the glass jar on my old one broke. Now that I’ve been using this blender for about a month, I’m so glad I broke my old one (and might have broken it sooner had I known! :))

What I love about the KitchenAid blender:
1) It is SO EASY to clean. Food doesn’t get stuck under the blades like the other ones I’ve used.
2) It is shatterproof. With a curious toddler in the house now, I’m a huge fan of things that can’t break.
3) Powerful. I’ve used it to puree fruits and veggies, and to make smoothies. The crush ice feature is nice because you can break up the ice before mixing it.

What I don’t love about it:
1) The base is really heavy
2) The buttons are a little weird. For example, to go from pulse to a regular speed, you have to hit Off first.
3) It’s struggled a little bit blending tough, stringy veggies like squash and sweet potatoes. Takes a bit longer and you have to help it along by stopping to stir it up. But this is the case with most blenders, I think!

In summary, the pros WAY outweigh the cons. I really love this blender!

I love this food processor! First of all, it is simply beautiful! It is easy to put together and clean and the mini bowl is perfect for little jobs! The base is very sturdy, heavy and will not move around.

This is great for shredding cheese, making cookie, cracker or bread crumbs and chopping anything! I leave it out on my counter and I’m constantly amazed at the uses I find for it.

Since the base is a “chrome finish” i was a little nervous about how durable it would be and was afraid it would flake off after awhile. However, after two years, it still looks as great as it ever did!

Thanks Kitchenaid for another great product!

We’ve had the Ikon for a couple of years. At first I was in love with it. It’s powerful and looks good.

However, the design flaw is in how hard it is to clean. Taking the base on and off is not that hard, albeit inconvenient.

But there are parts (where thick liquid leaks in around the bottom of the jar) that don’t come off, unless perhaps with screwdriver? There are 4 tiny screws there, but for godsake, do you have to take the entire thing apart with a screwdriver to get it clean? Major problem.

It just doesn’t seem all that hygienic to have old food stuck there. I have to remove the base for every use (and the solid pitcher is heavy for people like me with spinal issues - that would be a plus if i was 20 years younger before injury). Removing it is a bit of a hassle (if it’s tight there is a tool that comes with the blender) but that’s not what I’m complaining about.

The problem is EVEN WHEN YOU REMOVE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM MECHANISM (the part containing the blades and rubber gasket)and wash everything out, you can see the smoothie/soup/puree stuck in parts where the bottom doesn’t come off, between the glass and that big silver base of the pitcher. I have tried soaking it in the sink, running through the dishwasher, but this food is just in there. That seems unhygienic.

If it didn’t have this problem, I would love it. It’s a good machine. But why so difficult to clean? Not worth it. If they fixed this cleaning issue, I’d buy another Ikon. But as-is, I’m tired of trying to get it clean. Such a shame.

Last year I bought the newer big version (big plastic pitcher) and it had the same problem, so I returned it. Breville, have a home cook inspect your designs!

So to recap - no problems with durability or power, well-made with the exception of oops! - someone forgot that a blender needs to be cleaned. And the pitcher is super-heavy, so disabled/injured users take note.

I love love love this blender. I have had mine almost a month and have made a smoothie every day. The trick is to use the blender correctly. I put a lot of frozen fruit in my smoothies as I am making for more than one person. At least two pounds, as well as frozen yogurt, protein powder, and milk. The trick is to TURN THE MACHINE TO ICE CRUSH AND WALK AWAY. Be patient. It takes 3 or 4 minutes of the pulsating to break down all of the fruit. After that is done, I turn it on speed one for about a minute and then speed two for about 30 seconds. Unlike other blenders where higher is better, the lower speed on this blender is where you get the vortex action that pulls down any non-pulverized fruit into the blades. I am not sure how the bottom is falling off for people. It is a bayonet style blade assembly. One simple twist locks it in place. Problems would arise if you twist the jar after it is on the motor, like when you take it off. Then I could see where the bottom would come off. But, pulling straight up that should never happen. I also read about the blenders turning off. I do think this in an automatic heat sensor. Mine did this the first couple of times I used it when I was just going straight to speed 4. After reading the limited manuel I discovered the need to use the ice crush feature. The automatic turnoff never happened again. I returned two Kitchen Aid smoothie blenders in the month before getting this one and I am very happy with it. It is much quieter than other blenders I have tried.
