This Blender Rocks, I was brought up with and made it through countless hi protien smootines for my wife with another very well known blender which boasted more speeds and had a longer standing reputation. But over the years the number of times the darn thing bogged down on too much fiberous fruit or leaked out the liquid because the blade and base were'nt just perfectly put on had driven me to seek a new solution. I looked at the blenders they demo at the state fair but was not about to spend more than a car payment on a blender. Tnen I read a review from America's Test Kitchen which gave this one very high ratings in every category including the all important smoothie category. I took a chance and bought mine on ebay from a recent bride who claimed that she'd received blenders in the double digits and "didn't like blenders"- guess she's never had a decent daquri or pina colada. Anyway the blender simply rocks! One Horesepower worth of chopping. mixing, pureeing, and liquifing power makes this a blender any guy (or gal) could appreciate and the ice crushing function makes home made snow cones or slushee's a definite plan for this summers entertainment for the kiddos. The pitcher cleans easily despite the fact that the bottom does not come off and as a result there are no dribbled messes to contend with. I'm also jazzed that the polycarbonate pitcher will not be sending me off for replacements the way the old blender we used to have did. On the down side the thing seems almost too powerful at times but I'm hopefull that mastering the pulse button will alow me a gentler touch when it's required. Only time will tell if 1hp worht of power will take it's toll on the copling between the base and the pitcher but the way the pitcher sits over the base and the 12 point star spline seem to be engaging very snugly and seem to be durable. In short I really really love this blender and do not regret having gone a bit out of our rather tight budget at the moment to buy it. Glad I found it for less than half of retail from a bride who just can't appreciate what a great device a blender is. Now where are my little umbrellas I'm going to make my wife something fun to drink and hope it sets the right mood for the evenings festivities....Read full review
This is my second one of this type of blender! I use this blender 2 to 3 times a day! The blender itself has never given me any problems and I have been using it over a year. The reason I bought a second one was because the jar was cracking at the base from the torque of the motor, due to overuse I guess. Overall I definitely recommend this blender to anyone looking for a strong durable blender!
I try to do research when buying a product. Unfortunately the one that kept showing up as highly rated was the Kitchenaid KSB560. It was out of my price range averaging $80-$100 new. I wanted to spend no more than $40. I was giving up on the Kitchenaid almost settling for an Oster. Lo and behold I spotted a used one (one time) and got it for $49 with shipping. If you have seen the 5 blender demo with some very expensive blenders you will see the Kitcheaid smoke them all. Kills ice, and I have not been adding much liquid lately. I blended a full apple and orange with ice and it made liquid out of it. Quiet and strong at .9 Horse motor this is a great blender. The one piece pitcher is great and washes with water and 2 drops of dish liquid on stir. I have been making frozen drinks for my family and myself every night for weeks. Great blender, great product.Read full review
I believe Kitchenaid is one of the finest product the public can buy. I have a Kitchenaid 600 Pro Mixer and I love it, also just bought the Classic White Blender, I will put them to good use. I will also pass these down to my daughter and daughter in law for future use. I know these Kitchenaid products are the best on the market and affordable in price.
I purchased the KitchenAid KSB560 5 Speed Blender because, for the price, it is the best blender on the market. It blends smoothies quickly. It makes great Margaritas. This is my second KitchenAid KSB560 Blender. Since we entertain, I enjoyed the first one so much, that I purchased another one so that we now have can have two different drinks going continuously.
