KitchenAid RKSB7068CA Pro Line 3.5 HP Blender Candy Apple Red (CERTIFIED REFURBISHED) Reviews

I bought this back in April it was the best purchase I've done in a while I had one from the early 80s that I just replaced it with along with all the pro line equipment. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love my Kitchen Aid blender. I make smoothies, soups and dressings daily and am amazed how easy it is to use this blender. It can pulverize even the hardest ingredients and the soup setting really makes the liquid steaming hot. I enjoy the auto-cleaning function as well - you just turn it on and the machine will clean itself. The noise level is not bad comparing to some other blenders out there. It is my favorite appliance in my kitchen!

My wife and I acquired this device to aid us as we moved into a Pescatarian lifestyle and it has made a world of difference. The ease with which it performs tasks that other, lesser blenders could not even begin to accomplish is a daily delight!

Very powerful blender. Make sure you follow instructions for order of items (liquid first, hardest items last) to ensure everything processes smoothly. Very happy with purchase. And color selections make it more interesting than just a plain blender.

We've only had this blender for about a month, but we're very impressed so far. The smoothies are smooth as silk and are very easy with the preset speed and timed smoothie setting. Comparable to what you get at a Jamaba Juice, but you decide exactly what's going into it. Can't wait to make Gazpacho and hot soups in this blender. This blender is big, so don't expect to slide it under a normal height upper cabinet. The other issue is that the blender is loud, but not sure there's anything that can be done about the noise level when the blender is generating so much power. This blender isn't cheap, but when you look at the 3.5 horsepower, double wall jar, heavy duty construction and ascetically pleasing design, this was the only choice versus the other high end blenders.

I've had this blender over a month now and it is beyond what I ever expected, it's amazing and although pricey, worth it. It even cleans itself! The auto controls for juicing vegetables or blending fruit smoothies is over the top. I was a "juicer" and had a Brevel Juicer which took all the fiber out of the vegetables/fruits, the Pro Line Series by Kitchenaide uses the entire vegetable/fruit so nothing is wasted. Not to mention the clean-up is incredibly quick and easy whereas the Brevel Juicer took forever, cleaning each component. If your waffling about purchasing this Blender go for it, you won't be disappointed. I love it!

We had a NINJA prior to this blender. Looks great on the counter and works like a beast. My husband thanks me everyday for buying him this blender. It makes are smoothies taste so much better than before. Its so powerful we tell our little one to run when we turn it on. Haven't tried the other features but so far its been a wonderful addition to my Kitchen.

Greetings from Brazil! I usually prepare whole cakes and pies using the blender, but I was very difficult since these preparations are heavier and drier. With my new blender, it has become easier and faster to prepare my recipes and now I can even innovate and invent my recipes! I share here my recipe of parmesan sauce for salads and dips, which is a success: Mayonnaise, cloves of garlic, salt, black pepper, chives, mustard and parmesan! It's delicious !!!! I hope everyone likes it!

I have been in the market for a high performance blender for a while. I did lots and lots of research and I was set to purchase a Vitamix BUT then I came across the KitchenAid Pro-Line Blender with Thermal Jar and I was blown away! I did my research and decided to dive it! It had all the features I was looking for, it has 3 presets for soup, smoothies and juice, it also has variable speeds from 1-11 AND a self clean feature! I could not be happier! The first thing I made was a smoothie. WOW! So smooth, no chunks, perfection! Next I made some potato soup. Again WOW! it came out nice an thick and creamy and HOT! Delicious! I have also made hummus from the included recipe book and it came out amazing, smooth and creamy. I use it every day for my smoothie and I just can't brag enough! I'm a huge KitchenAid fan, and this blender did not disappoint! Its is a MUST HAVE if you are in the market for a high performance blender! I will warn you it is loud, but not too loud in my opinion. Most high performance blenders are loud so I would say its no louder than the competitors. For me its not an issue at all, but just wanted add that. It is also tall, it will fit on my counter under my cabinets, but I have to remove the top, again not an issue for me. When I say this blender is amazing, I mean, it is AMAZING! 5-Stars for sure!

When I got my Kitchenaid Pro Line blender, it was more beautiful than I had imagined. It was a little larger than I thought, wouldn't quite fit on my counter with lid on, oh well, too pretty to put under cabinet. Made smoothies right away. Used the smoothie setting and loved how it blended with ease, even with ice, and shut off after the 40 seconds.It also came with a nice recipe book. I can't wait to make soup next. I have been very impressed with the Pro Line.
