Amazon.com Review
This is the blender of the future. It performs all the traditional blending tasks (crushing ice for margaritas, thinning ice cream) plus you can use it like a food processor (mincing garlic, pureeing peppers). The wide jar is rounder and squatter than old-style blenders, which makes it easier to reach in and scrape the sides (when the blender is off!). To reduce splatters of strawberry daiquiri, the Step Start feature starts blending slowly, then picks up to the chosen speed. This blender also comes with a booklet containing 75 recipes--my favorite is the Frosty Chocolate Raspberry Latte. --Dana Van Nest Editor's Choice:KitchenAid's five-speed blender has a number of functions that set it above the crowd as our choice for best blender under $100. It starts with the five speed settings and the pulse function, which works at any of the speeds--a really nice touch. The blender's 40-ounce glass jar has a squat shape, making it more manageable than taller blenders, and comes completely apart.

 Has a weak link June 30, 2008
Sean T. Lamarche
A great blender for a while with weekly use...but it wasn't long before a tooth broke off the black coupler that drives the blade. Soon after, another tooth broke off and now it doesn't spin the blade properly. A weak link in a blender that is otherwise very good. I do not recommend as this part should have been made stronger.
It will break March 31, 2008
Namotco
The black coupler will break and you'll need to get that part replaced. It's easy to replace, but you have to find the part. I suggest buying a few of these parts if you already have this blender. If you are thinking about purchasing this blender, don't. It's not that powerful, parts are expensive, things tend to break easily...
 No! Don't crush ice with it! March 30, 2008
JA (United States)
Several reviewers suggested that the blender can be used to crush ice. Don't do it! My primary use for blenders is making fruit juice slushies. Unfortunately, an ice cube wedged between the blade and the bottom of the jar and the plastic rotor -- not sure what you call it, but the piece that couples the base to the blender blade -- ended up in little pieces. I suspect getting the blender repaired wouldn't be worth the time and cost, so the blender will be going into the trash.
If you never will blend hard items... March 26, 2008
SundayManoa
Hard as in nuts, cinnamon, frozen fruits and ice then I suppose it's a blender to consider. The design of the coupler is weak, it seems to be a compromise for a blender that doesn't lock while blending. The motor is great and a glass pitcher is always more desirable, and the blade is well designed and manufactured. However, I'm not sure if these things will tip the scale against other makers.
I really don't like it March 22, 2008
R. King
This blender was to replace a 25 or 30 year old Oster galaxy model - it was the best blender ever. Since I have owned a Kitchenaid mixer for about 18 years with no problems, I thought I'd give this a whirl (pun intended). It's absolutely worthless, it won't even puree soup, let alone crush ice. Other reviewers have mentioned how the jar fits straight down on the base. I just wasn't comfortable with that and thought it was only a matter of time before I absentmindedly attempted to unscrew it and caused a giant mess. It's now sitting in my pantry awaiting a garage sale. I bought another Oster, the Professional series with the simple toggle on/off switch. While not totally amazing like the old one, it's much, much better than this Kitchedaid. And less expensive, too.
