Otherwise, it is relatively easy to clean.Įsthetics: 3.5/5 – the shape of the blender and base are clunky, tall, and kind of ugly on the counter. And because there are 4 prongs on the blade, food can get stuck under them. However, the container is tall and skinny so it can be difficult to clean without a long-handled brush. Spout pour-ability: 4/5 – while we appreciate that there is a spout, it tends to allow things to overflow out of the sides too easily and it is also too wide to pour precisely into a small container, which is sometimes frustrating.Įase of cleaning: 4/5 – lid is tall without a lot of ridges, so it is easy to clean. The container fits well onto the base, but it doesn’t necessarily feel super secure (easily tipped off base).
Sturdiness: 4.25/5 – base is heavy and sturdy, but not quite as sturdy as the KitchenAid. Security of lid: 5/5 – very secure lid that’s sturdy and domed, so it decreases likelihood of spillover while blending.
It doesn’t have any settings, but because of how easily it tends to blend things, we don’t find that to be frustrating. But we like that the on/off switch is in plain sight and the crank dial is easy to use.
#KITCHENAID BLENDER MANUAL#
Have to read the manual to know that they don’t recommend starting it on high mode. Noise: 5/5 – not unreasonably loud even on the highest setting.Įase of use: 4/5 – variable and high switch is not very intuitive. Additionally, we had a poor experience with a refurbished Vitamix and would recommend purchasing new, if possible. We have used other models and not been as impressed with the design. Note: we like the Vitamix models that have a narrow-base container.

Second place: KitchenAid KSB8270FP Pro Line Series Blender We would strongly recommend sticking to a food processor (none of them got the coconut butter smooth some made very fine coconut flake that never got close to butter).įirst place: Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional-Grade, 64 oz.
NOTE: We also attempted to make coconut butter in these blenders, but ultimately decided that blenders really aren’t the best appliance to use for making coconut butter.We also tested their ability to make the following items, grading on a scale of 1-5 (1 being poor, 5 being excellent):.We also compared the blenders, grading on a scale of 1-5 (1 being poor, 5 being excellent), in regard to:.For consumer awareness, we analyzed the following factors:.All 3 blenders are made with BPA-free plastic.We tried to be as unbiased and objective as possible when reviewing.We were not given free product or compensated for any of our reviews, and we had no contact with any of these brands. This review is not sponsored in any way.We chose 3 professional-quality blenders and purchased them on Amazon.So when our 5-year-old Blendtec recently started having some motor issues, we figured it was time for a formal, side-by-side review of some of the most popular and high-quality blenders on the market. It seems every blender has its pros and cons, a special marketing claim, and a loyal fan base that touts it as the best. And after having issues with our refurbished Vitamix, we tried a Blendtec. Our very first blender was an Oster, then we graduated to a KitchenAid, then a Vitamix. When it comes to blenders, we’ve tried just about all of them.
