KitchenAid K150 3 Speed Ice Crushing Blender with 2 Personal Blender Jars - KSB1332Y - Matte Charcoal Grey, Dark Grey, 48 oz

very strong and helpful

I purchased from Amazon this product and was 110v without any warning from them and on the first utilisation burned and nobody wants to repair or to replace it Please be carefully

My daughter wanted this for her 13th birthday. We've had a Vitamix and it seems to have died, so we gave this a shot. I was on the fence about the personal cups, thinking they might be gimicky - but they are used almost every day in my house! My teen fills one of those in short order and drinking a liquid fruit salad is much better than a can of pop, bag of chips or candy! Also coming from a Vitamix we feel the mixing is great, an extra perk is that it is not as loud as the Vitamix, lol!

She loved it. Works great and very cute in her kitchen. Too expensive though for what it is.

Works like a champ. Replaced our old Kitchen Aid blender with this improved version, and it is an improvement. The container no longer drips when you pour the liquid. The old version lip dripped no matter what you did; this one does not drip at all. Nice clean design and very easy to clean, unlike the old version, where you had to disassemble the entire blender to clean it. This one is configured to be able to clean without taking anything apart. Real time saver. And boy, can it crush ice - 2-3 seconds and you are done. Kitchen Aid did a great job at improving their blender.

Mine arrived after weeks of waiting and I had to pay £90 to return it

My old Jamba blender had started leaking every time I used it and it started becoming a slacker at ice crushing so I started looking for a replacement. In researching this blender I came across this one with two smoothie blending cups. This meant that there would be a separate set of blades for smoothies and components could be easily cleaned or replaced if damaged. The cone-like shape of the cup helps draw the ice down so it doesn’t ride on top of the ingredients and the blade design prevents cavitation. It does such a good job chopping and blending the ice and frozen berries that preparation takes a fraction of the time AND effort than it did using my old blender. And the consistency is so much better! No ice or berry chunks, just a smooth refreshing drink without surprises. I do not drink out of the smoothie containers so they will last longer and be less subject to possible breakage, but that is a matter of personal preference. The separate smoothie blade unit and the drive system in the base are made of some sort of polycarbonate that seems pretty tough. The decorative base exterior is plastic, even though it appears to be metal in the pictures so be careful how you handle it. It’s difficult to tell how well it will hold up its finish. Mine is the shiny red finish. It is available in several colors and shiny or matte finishes, the latter probably being more resistant to showing fingerprints. All in all I am impressed with the strength and efficiency of this machine and as I find more uses & recipes for it, I may update my review.
