Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KSB5WH 5-Speed Blender, White
Customer Review: Use for Smoothies
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item primarily for use of making smoothies. I make them daily for my husband & I b/c he works out in the heat & b/c of nutritional value. I'd had a cheaper blender before & it had worn out. After much research, I bought this blender b/c of ratings & price which was reduced due to the color being white. I have to say it works great on frozen fruits except for mangoes which I find are slippery. I have to rearrange thm in the blender a few times with a spoon to finally get them smooth. It takes apart & cleans easily. This my first Kitchen Aid product. So far I'm satisfied overall.Customer Review: No disappointment here...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have made great smoothies and frozen drinks with this blender. I have not had any problems with it crushing ice. I make my smoothies with frozen strawberries, bananas, blueberries and do not get the chunks other reviews mention. Sometimes I throw ice in them. I've had it since the beginning of August and make smoothies at least 3 times a week, frozen drinks (mostly frozen virgin daquiris) on the weekends. These particular drinks were a concern since other reviews reported inefficiency but so far I haven't had any problems. I usually pulse the ingredients a few times then let her rip, lol.Customer Review: Fabulous blender-- works like a dream
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a little surprised by the negative reviews in Amazon. At consumersearch.com, the Kitchen Aid blender was ranked head and shoulders above all other comparably priced blenders-- which is the reason I chose to purchase one. It IS extremely powerful. The container is little squatter and wider than most blenders, which makes scrapping with a spatula much easier. The touch pad controls make the unit very easy to clean.
I cook quite a bit and I've used mine to make sauces, dressings, smoothies, and bread crumbs and I have been very satisfied with the results.
Customer Review: Not as great as expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I feel a bit disappointed with my kitchen aid blender. I thought it would work like that in the juice place that can blend anything without stopping. It turns out that a lot of things often stuck under the blade. It took me a while to know the trick. Always blend the harder ingredients first, such as crush your ice first. Don't you dare to just blend, you need to use pulse, lowest setting until it chops up quite a bit. Then, blend. Add the next ingredient, and do the same thing. It will make a good smoothies, however, it takes quite an effort. Pulse, Blend, Pulse, Blend.Customer Review: Fabulous blender-- works like a dream
