Best Review on KitchenAid 5 Speed Blenders Polycarbonate Pitcher
I was one of those people wondering what's the big difference between those cheap 30 dollar blender vs. the ones that are over a hundred bucks... I found that the following things made this particular blender very useful and worth every dollar that I paid for...
1) SOOOOO easy to clean... you literally just take out the jar and just hand wash it... Other cheap machines will make you have to take it apart and clean every little parts...
2) chops ice very well... One time, my ice cubes all CLUMPED together into ONE HUGE ice chunk (i kept it in a plastic bag), and I wondered if my blender would be able to crush this... to my surprise, the blender was able to crush into a smooth texture with the "crush ice" button.... A cheap machine would make you use a spoon or something to move the ice around or maybe just crush it into little pieces before-hand...
3) the 5 different buttons are nice to have... Literally, each button on the blender acts differently... the Ice Crush button is very nice because it pushes the ice cubes around to get to every single ice cube in the jar... I found this function very useful... Also, the "liquefy" and "puree" buttons are very useful when making smoothies or shakes...
In my experience, I used a 1500 dollar blender before (was a commercial purpose one), and that thing worked flawlessly.... for something that you want for homeuse, this is a pretty good blender and for it's price, i think it will satisfy what you're looking for.....
It's not too cheap, not to expensive, but just right~
My 2 yr old & I both love smoothies, but we rarely make them because our current blenders (a smoothie maker & a magic bullet) are SOOO loud & she says they hurt her ears. (They actually kind of hurt mine too...) I saw that a previous question's answer recommended a quiet Krups blender, but I really hate to spend well over $100 on a small appliance we will just use from time to time. Is the Krups one really worth that kind of money, or does anyone know some less pricey ones that are quiet? Thanks!!!
