I use this appliance, maybe, six to eight times a year.

I purchased it because of the KitchenAid name and because it has a glass pitcher. I wish I could return it. It does not blend and liquefy foods properly. My smoothies and milk shakes always have chunks of frozen... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423602916996 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 12:15:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423602916996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422148869764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author colloquor - The rubberized-plastic screw-on clutch coupler in the base unit failed, and the type that our unit required is no longer available. I purchased a new clutch coupler part on eBay which was the correct KitchenAid part number (made by FSP, a division of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422148869764 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:36:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422148869764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_416252989060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author dano853 - I bought this blender because I respected the Kitchenaid name. Initially the controls seemed a little funky, because you have to press the on button before you can make any other button work. I thought well at least it will keep small children from... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~416252989060 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 23:46:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_416252989060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415781392004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hokome - I got this blender two years ago. I previously had a Hamilton Beach Blender that I purchased used at an auction about twenty years ago. My two girls and I used it hard and heavy.

We purchased a replacement part from a general kitchenware shop (in Australia) and then found that we had the same problem with attempting to remove the old teeth / clutch. I agree that it is very deceiving... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408729456260 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:36:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408729456260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_399336640132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pilarzmom - I got rid of a lot of stuff before my recent interstate move. Some went to Goodwill; some stuff went straight into the garbage can. One of the items that I most happily tossed into the garbage was my underpowered and pretty much worthless Oster blender... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~399336640132 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 13:06:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_399336640132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_370967023236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ronin89 - I used this blender at least 3 times a day for breakfast & pre/post-workout smoothies. I purchased it almost 8yrs ago and it finally broke. I plan on replacing the part and using it at work.

It worked nicely for one year; the length of the warranty. Then, the drive shaft broke, again and again until all the hard plastic propeller pieces were gone. I had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336240479876 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 02:43:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336240479876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_290059685508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cloudripper22 - This model has been around for years. I'm sure if the other review was correct they'd have stopped producing these things long ago. I've had mine about 4 years now. I've used it almost daily -- I make a protein shake most every morning that always... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~290059685508 Sun, 10 Dec 2006 18:59:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_290059685508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_280145727108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author shelleyg8r - This blender could not make a smoothie to save its life. While it may look nice, the main problem is, it only blends what is directly around the blades and nothing else. Everything above the blades does not move. Like an iron, opt for a less expensive... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~280145727108 Fri, 17 Nov 2006 12:36:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_280145727108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_234328657540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phered - I have had my KitchenAid blender about 4 years.

The rubber teeth at the base used to turn the blades of this blender with wear quickly and break off. Not replaceable.
