KitchenAid KSB6060BM High Performance Series Blender, Matte Black Reviews

The motor is very powerful and the product is beautiful. However, most of the features don't meet the same quality standard. You can't grind spices as it will chip and ruin the vase. The control knob was very deteriorated after only 6 months of use - I never put it in the dishawasher. Customer Service have been very good about it replacing pieces but I'm not sure I would buy this product again if I had the chance.

The quality and price point is very appropriate. The motor and size capacity makes my smoothies perfect without a chalky taste. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this blender for a great sale price. I was not too sure how loud it would be or not and to my surprise I did not need to wear my ear plugs! I love my KitchenAid blender! Also, I was not too sure how much counter space it would take up but it's just perfect! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

WOW!!! This blender is a powerful, state of the art blender in your kitchen. I put this thing to the test by packing in frozen fruits and vegetables. I thought I would need to allow everything to sit and thaw to handle the ingredients, but it literally puréed and smooth everything out in a even smoothie consistency. It cups with a convenient measuring cup and a tamper accessory as needed for optimal blending performance. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I am loving this blender so much. I've only had it for a few days but have already made margaritas (twice lol), nut butter and salsa. The blender comes complete with instructions and a recipe book, which is where I got the recipe for the Nut Butter. Be sure to read the instructions (my hubby tried to use it but didn't pay attention to the fact you have to turn it on in the back of the base). I am so impressed with how quick and completely this blender works, our margaritas were perfect in a minute with no large lumps of ice but smooth and just right. I made salsa without bothering to even cut the ingredients into chunks, I simply dropped them into the blender and it came out perfect. Another thing I really like about this blender is the recipe book, not only do you get the recipes but they tell you the correct use of the blender so there is no mystery on what to do. One word of caution you need to know is that this is not a small blender and it won't be one you can place in a cabinet, the base is a bit heavy so I strongly suggest you have room on your counter.

I got a new KitchenAid blender, so I had to see how it made pina coladas! I used frozen pineapple, and even at half power, this blender turned the ingredients into smooth perfection. The blender is super powerful, you can even make nut butter with it! This blender features a measuring cap built in the lid, which is helpful so you won't over pour the rum. Clean up is a breeze by putting hot water and a squirt of dish soap, then blend until clean. The base is very heavy and sturdy. The container is made of bpa free plastic, and not glass, which I would've preferred. I imagine they used plastic to keep the overall weight lower. The handle on the container feels slightly flimsy if the container is at its 60oz capacity. The appearance is very smooth, modern, and streamlined. For all the power this blender has, the sound level is very reasonable, even at max speed. I'm very happy with this blender; it is a solid investment!

I will be 40 years old this year and I have lost count of how many times I have made my kitchen a completely nightmare with the smoke smell of dead blenders. I truly believe that with the Kitchen Aid High Performance Series Blender these days are totally over. This thing is a beast filled with power! My first recipe prepared with it was my famous carrot cake, which requires a lot from a blender. It made the mixture smooth and bubbly which later resulted in a perfect delicious cake. This blender does wonders for smoothies too. What differentiates this blender from others I have had is that it works extremely fast and it gets things done the first time. Concerning looks, it is very sturdy and heavy therefore I recommend it as an item that one would have on their counter (not on and off). Another great feature is the fact that despite being a beast, the noise it makes is not that different from other blenders. Finally, it is super intuitive to operate and it comes with a recipe book! I can't wait to prepare my own hummus. It is the next thing on my list. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

My family loves drinking smoothies daily, making homemade sauces, and chopping up ingredients for salsa. A good powerful blender is a great kitchen tool to have. KitchenAid is a very well known brand, and I believe they are one of my top go to kitchen gadget company. This High Performance Series Blender is great. Since getting this blender I've used it many times. Each time it's easily blended all of my ingredients and didn't require much time to blend them. The blender was well packaged in its box. Easy to take out and set up. It came with the instructions and with a recipe book. The recipe book provides many simple to make drinks, sauces, and dips. Love when companies include these booklets. The instructions about the blender are simple and easy to follow. I was able to wash everything easily before my first use of the product. I hand wash, but did read that all parts ( except the base ) are dishwasher safe. The actual base is very hefty. The weight I'm sure is because of how strong the motor is. The weight isn't a huge problem for me, but I'm sure those with wrist problems might not be able to constantly move this blender around. The blender jar is a good thick plastic. The measurements are easy to read on the side, and make it simple to just add your ingredients in. The top of the jar pops on and off easily, and stays on securely during the blending process. The top also comes with a built in measuring cup. I'm not sure how often I'll use it, but I'm sure it might come in handy. Along with the blender jar, the machine comes with a blending stick. Used for moving the ingredients around while blending. This is a very handy tool, making it so I don't have to constantly turn the machine off and scrape/mix the ingredients around. One thing I'm unsure about is how the blender jar sits into the base. At first it seems secure enough, but while blending it somewhat wobbles around, and I have to gently hold it still. It's only on the higher speeds though. The controls are super simple and easy to use. The main on/off switch on the back was a good idea, and will make it difficult for my kids to accidentally turn on the machine. I unfortunately can't keep the blender on my counter, it's just to tall and doesn't fit under my cabinets. If I don't put the blender jar on then it fits perfect. Cleaning the jar is fast, and easy. As mentioned before, I hand wash. So what ever doesn't come clean after quickly blending water/soap through it, I can easy take a rag and clean around the blades. Overall this is a very powerful blender, easy to use, and blends everything wonderfully, but it is heavy, and the jar has to be held at higher speeds. Besides those few negatives, I'm very impressed with this product, and can't wait to try out more recipes with it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I cannot say enough good things about this product. I am so happy with this machine. It is not only beautifully designed, it is excellent at every blending task. This is so very easy to operate, has variable speeds on the turn knob and pulse toggle type switch. This blends and purees easily and quickly due to the high power. It is extremely powerful and heavy duty. The best thing that I have found is with it being heavy there is no worry about it moving while blending. Even when running on high for a long period, the blender stays put. I have used it to make smoothies, milkshakes and even baby food for my granddaughter and the tamper really works great for this. I love how quiet this is, it is quiet enough that I can actually have a conservation while it is running. It is very easy to clean,no parts to remove, it is even dishwasher safe. This product is definitely made to last, even a lifetime. I highly recommend this to anyone that is in the market for a blender, they will not be disappointed. I am looking forward to using this for many years and also trying new recipes! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I got this blender because I love Kitchaid products, they always have amazing quality. The base is quite heavy which I like because I have had other blenders that move while on and this one does not. It came with the stick to push stuff down while blending which is a nice addition. I like how smooth it makes my smoothies. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
