Customer Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by Donna, Realtor from PRO LINE SERIES BLENDER WITH THERMAL CONTROL JAR I've had this blender over a month now and it is beyond what I ever expected, it's amazing and although pricey, worth it. It even cleans itself! The auto controls for juicing vegetables or blending fruit smoothies is over the top. I was a "juicer" and had a Brevel Juicer which took all the fiber out of the vegetables/fruits, the Pro Line Series by Kitchenaide uses the entire vegetable/fruit so nothing is wasted. Not to mention the clean-up is incredibly quick and easy whereas the Brevel Juicer took forever, cleaning each component. If your waffling about purchasing this Blender go for it, you won't be disappointed. I love it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kari from Bought 3, returned 3. If you shine bright light (or sunlight) on the red Pro Line you'll see all kinds of smudges and scratches that look like tape glue or packaging rubs but they're actually flaws in the finish. It's too bad because it's beautiful and probably works great but a premium priced product should have a near perfect finish and this is all over the whole unit. We gave it 3 tries at the request of the Williams Sonoma staff but we just unboxed another one and the finish is terrible. It's clearly a manufacturing flaw. $500-$600 for a blender you would think more people would notice and complain. If you have red go take a look at yours

Rated 4 out of 5 by JenP in KC from Almost perfect I've owned Vitamix and Blendtec and this rivals them both. I LOVE the tamper and it is extremely helpful to keep thicker mixes blending. The machine is very powerful and creates a very smooth blend even of large pieces. The presets for juice, smoothies, self-clean, etc. work very well and are helpful time savers for me on busy mornings. My only hesitation to give 5 stars is that it is not very good with smaller batches. I love making homemade mayo but this blender doesn't seem to emulsify well because of the small batch. Same with smaller batches of whole fruit sorbet. The tamper doesn't reach far enough down to keep the mix in the blades. (Which I assume is to keep the tamper out of the blades, but if the blender jar were more narrow at the bottom I think this issue would not be as bad.). I would love to see a smaller jar accessory as an additional purchase option, then we'd have perfection. Overall though, definitely worth the investment. And it is a beautiful appliance on my countertop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by The Foodie from Wonder Additional to my Small Appliances I already had a blender previously however I was never too happy with it as it did not crush ice well, I could really due warm soups well or keep things very cold. When I was registering for my wedding recently, I came across a Kitchen Aid rep in William Sonoma who was showing this piece. What was great is she explained the blender and all the capabilities it has much more so than the normal blender. The thermal jar was the BEST feature on this product. While I did not get it as a gift, I just had to have it and it has become one of my favorite appliances. I make smoothies on a daily basis and find that this work EXCELLENT! Very happy about this piece.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steph from I never knew I could LOVE a blender! I was gifted this blender even though I already had a vitamix. I tried the recipe I made myself each morning in the KitchenAid just to see the difference... it was then I knew I would never look at vitamix the same way! I was completely hooked after that! It made my smoothie so much faster and the smoothness didn't even compare. It completely destroyed the seeds from the raspberries and strawberries! I have since been experimenting and my favorite accidental find is turning boring old cocoa mix and cold water into a perfectly hot, velvety smooth luxury cup of cocoa! I highly recommend this blender to anyone who will listen! Thank you, KitchenAid for making such an amazing product!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by owner of Hercules the Blender from Excellent Blender Kitchen Workhorse I received this blender as a Christmas gift. This machine blends like a dream. I have had no issues blending anything. I have used the juice setting, the smoothie setting, and the soup setting. Smoothies come out silky smooth and everything is blended to perfection. The soup setting was amazing. I had not idea a blender could make soup. I did a carrot, coconut, ginger soup. The setting worked great. For those saying they are having issues with the soup setting, I would say you are probably not following instructions or even using the right setting. This blender is phenomenal!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dorothy In The Kitchen from Smooth operation and easy to use Reviewer received a free sample of this product The Pro line blender worked as described. I found when I tried the recipes most of them worked out well. The nut butters took longer than described in the cookbook and it was hard to clean out. It was not overly loud for a high-powered blender. I appreciated the solid construction, but I find the base very heavy to move. I think the base is a little large,but it may be necessary to support the power of the unit. The cookbook does not have a wide variety of recipes and I am looking online to augment the recipes.I think an index in the back of the book would be very helpful.Hopefully you will add additional recipes online.

Rated 5 out of 5 by beekeep from Lots of Power! We've been using it exclusively for smoothies for about a month. I'm convinced it could blend anything. It even pulverizes the seeds in blackberries do you don't even notice them in what you're drinking. We're very happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chef Al from Great looks and great performance Reviewer received a free sample of this product. I've had this blender for about a month. My likes: very stable container while blending, lid seals very well, very powerful motor, looks great, easy to clean, handles everything from ice for smoothies to very smooth hot soups, fits under standard height cabinets, has well thought out programmed cycles and the tamper is designed to also scrape the container sides while blending, very nice! My dislikes: could be more quiet, but it is comparable to other blenders in this price range, would like the option of a smaller container as an accessory, I'd like to see cup measurements added to the container along with markings that are easier to read.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from A blender that does it all I love my Kitchen Aid blender. I make smoothies, soups and dressings daily and am amazed how easy it is to use this blender. It can pulverize even the hardest ingredients and the soup setting really makes the liquid steaming hot. I enjoy the auto-cleaning function as well - you just turn it on and the machine will clean itself. The noise level is not bad comparing to some other blenders out there. It is my favorite appliance in my kitchen!
