Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RRKSB5MC Ultra Power 5-Speed Blender, Metallic Chrome
Customer Review: very poor blender
Summary: 1 Stars
Very BAD design.
I own this blender for more than 9 months now. Just like few others, I did some research before buying this blender and I am still very disappointed with the performance.
This blender may be powerful with glass jar and good at crushing ice but it failed to do what a blender supposed to do which is to puree and liquefy foods!!! It has to do with the design of this blender.
- The problem is the shape of the glass (wide at the base). Other blender like Oster has their glass sloped like a funnel channeling material towards the blades. But this one is like a tube shape so you can sit there and blend for literally a long time and still have chunks of stuff not puree and not liquefied.
I bought this even though some bad review because some others said using minimum of liquid (like with different amount of liquid) or using different speed (like pulse) or run it for longer time will do the job. BUT actually it made NO DIFFERENT. In 9 months I own this, I tried everything I can think of and it still cannot puree and liquefied without leaving some small chunks!!!!
When you read other reviews that give good feedback, make sure check how long they use it and what they use it for. This blender may be only good for limited use (like crushing ice). But if you want a blender to, uh, "blend" fruits, vegetables, soya beans etc, you'd better keep looking, since, amazingly, this model is not designed to do that. Even people gave good reviews said it will still wind up with small chunks!!!

Description of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RRKSB5MC Ultra Power 5-Speed Blender, Metallic Chrome
Capable of crushing ice and being pulsed at any of five speeds, this sturdy, powerful, 500-watt blender provides ease of operation and versatility for a serious cook. It creates frozen drinks like smoothies and margaritas; chops nuts, coffee beans, vegetables, and chocolate; mixes batters and party dips; purées baby food and soups; removes lumps from gravy; and shreds cheese. Four cutting blades whirl at different levels for thorough work. KitchenAid's "step-start" feature automatically begins a process slowly to prevent splatters and quickly increases speed to the level selected on the touchpad control panel. The blender has a 40-ounce, dishwasher-safe, glass jar with a drip-resistant pouring lip and a tight-fitting top. Removing the cap creates an opening for adding ingredients, and the cap is a 2-ounce measuring container.The blender's heavy metal base doesn't skid on its rubber feet during operation and offers a cord-wrap underneath. Base and control panel wipe clean easily. The blender measures 7 inches wide, 15 inches high, and 8 inches deep and weighs 12 pounds. Its instruction booklet includes 75 recipes. --Fred Brack
