We are VERY pleased!
My wife and I suffered with a cheap old blender for years and decided to upgrade with this KitchenAid model. So far we are very impressed with the power and evident quality of this machine. It chews up all sizes of ice cubes with ease and the pitcher is very easy to disassemble and clean. If you want a stylish looking blender that packs a serious motor and no unnecessary frills, this is the one for you!
As for the fact that this is a reconditioned model... Ours arrived in factory new packaging and there wasn't so much as a scratch anywhere on the thing. Highly recommended!!!
Watch the coupler!
We have had thre of these. On each one the coupler broke (the toothed wheel that couples the base to the pitcher blades). THis is a very common problem. Kitchen aid offered us an upgrade on the first one for $40. Then we bought another from Amazon (great price). Both couplers have now broken and Kitchen Aid is not willing to assist. The couplers are only $7 but nearly impossible to replace without a special tool that I have been unable to locate. By the time you pay the appliance store to replace them you can buy another blender. Really annoying. An obvious design flaw. Kitchen aid's only assistance was to offer the professional model at $50 off list, not even as good as it can be purchaced on sale. They dropped the ball onthis one!
Amazing Blender
I bought this blender because I have begun to have a smoothie every morning and my old blender couldn't handle it. I used to have to stop every 30 seconds to stir the fruit to get it to blend. The KitchenAid blender is amazing - I never have to stop and stir and never have to worry about chunks in my smoothie when I use frozen fruit. And it's beautiful - no visual imperfections. I definitely would buy it again, but don't think I would have to as I know that KitchenAid appliances last for pretty much forever.
