KitchenAid KSB465WH 4-Speed Countertop Blender with 48-Ounce Polycarbonate Jar, White Review
This review is for the KitchenAid KSB465RT 4-speed countertop blender with the 48-ounce polycarbonate jar in empire red. I really love this blender! Most of my experience has been with Oster blenders, and my last one was a beehive Oster. It didn't last long, maybe a year and a half. I have had this KitchenAid blender for about 3 months so I can't speak to it's longevity but I hope it lasts a long time.
THE LID: The lid design is much better than the Oster beehive. The Oster used to toss food on the wall and down the sides of the jar sometimes, making a mess that was hard to reach to clean on the base. This lid has a deep flange so food doesn't escape the blender.
THE JAR: The KitchenAid jar is plastic. That means it's lightweight, and it won't break if you drop it, but I suspect over time it will scratch and dull somewhat. The plastic jar has a deep flange at the base that I really like. Occasionally I would get the Oster not seated quite correctly and it would make a bad noise as it stripped gears. Oops! This jar always settles down correctly into place. If the jar ever did spill, this flange would keep the goo from going onto the twirling part of the base the way it did with the Oster.
Cleaning the jar: Once in a while I put the jar in the dishwasher. I like that the blade is part of the jar and there is no rubber ring to wash separately. It's just the jar and the lid. Most of the time I clean it by adding soapy water and turning the blender on for a minute, then rinsing it. It cleans easily.
THE BASE: While not completely flush, the buttons are almost flush with the base. This makes them very easy to clean. They're better designed than any other blender I've had. The whole base is easy to clean with just a swish of a damp sponge and towel. It is easy to operate the buttons.
NOISE: It's about as noisy as any blender I suppose. The noisiest I ever had was a Waring that made me leave the kitchen when it was on. This one may be a hair quieter than the Oster. They could all use mufflers, if you ask me.
COLOR: I love the red. It's the perfect red, not garish but warm and cheery. It did surprise me that this is *not* an exact match to KitchenAid's red food processor. That was disappointing. They look fine sitting close to one another, though.
THE FUNCTION: It blends as well as any blender I've had. I chop up huge frozen strawberries with it easily. When I put raspberries in my smoothies there is the occasional bit of seed to spit out of my mouth but I think all in all it grinds the raspberry seeds finer than my Oster did.
Recommended? YES! It's pretty to look at, and very easy to use and to clean. It's thoughtfully designed.
