Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KSB5WH 5-Speed Blender, White
Customer Review: Response to negative Reviews
Summary: 3 Stars
I, too, purchased this blender and noticed the burning smell and noises that made me think it was falling apart or going to catch on fire! My handy spouse took the bottom off and oiled the parts as he thought it sounded like it needed a lube job. Since doing so, the blender works much better, the smell is gone and the motor is quieter. Take a minute to hit it with WD-40 on the inside and see if it helps. No complaints on blending ability...Customer Review: Broke the first time I used it

A friend gave us one of these a few years ago. The blade assembly came loose from the drive gears the first time I made a frozen margarita. As noted in many other reviews here, Kitchen Aid doesn't sell the replacement parts.Also, some friends have/had this blender. I used theirs several times, and noted that it does a HORRIBLE job making frozen margaritas. It will NEVER chop up all the ice. Leaves chunks of ice cubes in the drink.

I'm glad I read the other reviews and now I have to apologize to my son. The rubber teeth completely disintegrated on our blender when our son had been using it. We were sure he wasn't using it properly, but now I see this is a common problem with this blender. We had been happily using it to make shakes with ice for about 2 years. We're looking for a new blender and are considering spending a litter more on the Waring Professional.Customer Review: A defective product - don't buy

There is a flaw in the design of the blade. Our KitchenAid blender is now toast because the blade assembly became un-soldered so the spinning of the motor does not spin the blade. Several reviews here mention problems with the blade so I beleve this is NOT a fluke and you should take this issue seriously. Also 5 speeds is completely unnecessary. Get a Waring 2-speed, its what the pros use. We have one now and its great.Customer Review: Absolutely love the blender!

I finally gave in and bought this blender despite the price after using a friend's and seeing how easily it chopped ice to a margarita consistency. I have bought and returned several others after they didn't do what their advertising claimed they could do. It's about as loud as your average blender, but who cares about a little noise when the performance is outstanding, and you get to satisfy your smoothie craving.
