KitchenAid K400 Variable Speed Blender, Passion Red, KSB4027

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) So far I am loving this blender! It's been quite some time since I've owned a blender and I don't remember them being this user friendly. I sure appreciate the preset options, it takes the guess work out of it. I've used it quite a bit since receiving it. It's easy to use and easy to clean. My iced coffee drinks and smoothies come out like silk! A recipe called for crushed tomatoes - I had diced......a few pulses in the blender and crushed tomatoes it is! I don't usually have appliances sit on my counters but this is aesthetically pleasing and used enough to warrant a permanent place. It gets confusing with all the blender makes and models on the market today, but the choice was easy. I chose KitchenAid because I believe this blender will be around for years to come.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Fantastic blender which is easy to use and true to its claims that it crushes ice without any issues. We even put in larger chunks of ice and it had no problem blending it on the ice setting. Amazingly powerful and would recommend to anyone

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Very happy with our new blender! We've had it for a couple of months now and it has not disappointed at all. Very powerful and easy to clean. Really good value for the money.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Excellent machine. Blends perfectly every time, I am very satisfied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this as a monthers day gift for my wife as she is loving her smoothie making and she absolutely loves it. I used the FREE engraving to write a lovely message marking the occasion and year too which was an amazing added extra. We wanted a very quiet blender (which is hard to come by) and this one certainly ticks that box. It also has a very sturdy and strong construction, not cheap and nasty like many other brands. The controls are also very simple and user friendly

It works quite well and the noise is not too loud. It makes smoothies and juices very smoothly. The only downside is that the lid is not well designed - it's too tight and hard to open.

I've had this blender for less than a year. I'm very happy with the look, function, and power. The big issue is the base of the jar. The seals around the shaft did not perform as expected. The shaft for the blades is loose and leaks. I am disappointed, as I expected better from the brand.

I am having the same issue as the others who have given it a single star. The jar has started leaking brown liquid and there is no way, seemingly, to replace the gasket. Like others I decided to spend more for this blender because I have had good success with other Kitchenaid products. I am not prepared to spend almost half the cost of the blender to replace the jar given that it seems Kitchenaid has not rectified the design flaw.

I bought this blender two years ago, and it has never worked perfectly. In the beginning, almost in the second month, it started to leak a black liquid from the bottom of the base, and now it is worse, contaminating the food inside the blender. It is so disgusting and potentially harmful. Before this, I always believed that KitchenAid was a good brand.
