Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Smoothies’

I bought this blender 18 months ago at the Williams-Sonoma outlet at an outlet price and not expecting much. I have used it five to six days a week for the past 18 months and love it unequivocally. I burned through two of the Williams-Sonoma 375 watt Waring blenders so wanted a blender with a stronger motor to pulverize ice for smoothies.

I have not experienced any problems with the carafe but I hand wash it so perhaps that has kept the carafe from leaking. This is a wonderful product for making smooth iced drinks.

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 use this blender to make smoothies and chop ice and can live with the idiosyncrasies. What I find infuriating is when I go to make mayonnaise or another emulsion which requires slowly pouring the oil in through the hole in the lid while the blender is running. If the jar is less than half full, the contents spatter everywhere! I cannot remove the plastic plug from the lid while it is running or the contents of my blender will be all over my kitchen.

There is a VERY GOOD reason most blenders are funnel shaped!

I spent a lot of time researching a new blender for daily use. I bought this to replace an old basic Hamilton-Beach that struggled with a single smoothie. I absolutely love it, for all the reasons others have mentioned. It works powerfully and quietly, and has these features that just delight me:
- Lightweight but strong container, making it easy to carry a blender full of smoothies to the table.
- Clever spout design lets you easily get out thick concoctions without having splotches fall out.
- Super-easy clean-up with the contained blade design.
- Sealed button panel, so the inevitable spills won’t damage the works.
- Compact height - it fits under a standard-height upper kitchen cabinet, unlike the more expensive Breville I originally bought. This is important for anyone who plans to leave it out on their counter.
- It looks nice enough to leave out on the counter, and I can use it to take on tasks for which I used to lug out the Cuisinart.

If you are using an older blender, this would be a wonderful update.

This blender kicks a**!

My wife and I use the blender for smoothies and protein shakes, at least 2x-3x/day. We’ve burned our way through a couple of Cuisinarts, and a few other lesser brands.

This machine is rock solid, and crushes ice perfectly. Very easy to clean, and more importantly, very easy to take apart and put back together.

Was a bit skeptical at first, given some of the reviews; however, we’re about a month into it and love this machine!

How interesting that I would recieve an email inviting me to review my new Cusinart Duet Blender/Food Processor while I’m drinking my berry smoothie that I just finished making in it!
I can honestly only write about the activity of making a smoothie for this review. If making smoothies is why you need a blender, please don’t purchase this one.
For some reason they have designed the blades to be more than halfway below the bottom of the glass pitcher and ice, larger fruit (like strawberries) never get chopped up and if the concoction that you’re making is a frozen type, it will just spin and spin and nothing actually makes it down into the blade area. Opening the top and stirring every 20 seconds to get the mix down to the blades is very frustrating and time consuming.

I bought this item to make smoothies for breakfast on the way out the door in the morning. It works great. I did some research and this one is as good as any. Price isn’t too bad. It is powerful enough to handle the frozen fruit and not too loud. Doesn’t bother the other sleeping people in the house.
