The (2) small caps on the lid are easy to lose and hard to wash. Too many silly speeds and settings... totally unnecessary. Average capacity and way overpriced. >:(

Do not buy that blender.

That'll do us all a favor.

Post by: Special Ed on February 20, 2007, 05:04:52 PM: I had a KitchenAid and I returned it. The blades are just too dull. You can't even cut your finger on one.They're okay for just protein shakes, but to chop up ice and frozen fruit, they suck. Get a Waring for $100 like all the bars have or if you're just making protein shakes get a Magic Bullet!

Post by: KeepItReal on February 20, 2007, 05:35:19 PM: I agree with the downside comments. It looks better than it performs! However, do check out the KitchenAid Pro Line Blender!! It IS pricey, but it's great! Has a larger container, 48 ounces, and only two speeds, high and low, and a pulse option. BUT, it can handle anything and liquefy it. It works flawlessly. The container is polycarbonate, not glass. Start it out on slow speed and then ramp it up to high, and in 30 seconds, it's done!!

Post by: Princess L on February 20, 2007, 07:27:31 PM: I have one and HATE its performance although I may have gotten a defective one and not known it. Cost me $100 bucks 6 years ago >:( A friend of mine has the same one and it seems to work fine. For $100 bucks, Starbucks has a nice one. :o Yes, Starbucks.

Post by: Captain Equipoise on February 21, 2007, 12:26:56 AM: Complete garbage, way.. WAY overpriced.. I've never paid more then $30 for a blender and they usually last a good solid 4-5 years (until they start getting dirty and full of protein powder (flying around in the air) etc.

IMO, Bally's has the BEST blenders, I think they're like 5hp or something.. crazy, those things will go through anything, they're about $250 but are made to last 20 years.

Post by: 4thAD on February 21, 2007, 07:53:55 AM: Vita-mix one of the best blenders you can buy! They are spendy, but they will chop up anything and turn it to liquid.
