KitchenAid® K400 Blender - Black Matte Reviews

I bought this blender last week and I'm so happy I got it. It makes the best smoothies ever. My husband is even happy with it he can't stop using it . It goes well next to my old KitchenAid mixer. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bought this one month ago and have had wonderful experience with it. Blends smoothies so well, ice, salsa and margaritas! So glad I bought! Great colors to choose from too. Super high quality, works as promised. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I got this blender for my birthday to replace my old one and I love it so much. Have been doing different flavored margaritas and even making hollandaise sauce for my eggs Benedict. Blends very smoothly. Love the self clean button too. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Love the controls and speeds function buttons. Amazingly designed to stop when ice crushing done. Love it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I purchase this product in December just started to use the blender I have a problem with the cup I like the idea that is plastic but after I clean the cup is not the same it looks dirty

When the jar on my 15 year old BlendTec began to leak, I assumed I had to get a new blender, but one less pricey, and spent hours looking at online reviews. I finally settled on the KitchenAid K400 and have had it several weeks. I love it! I'm thrilled with its simplicity & smooth operation; blending a hot soup from the stove is easy and safe with the dial feature, and both soups and smoothies are perfectly blended. It really is nicely designed. As it turned out, I was able to replace the BlendTec jar, so now I have 2 working blenders; but I choose to keep the KitchenAid on the counter, where (and this was a major consideration when purchasing) it fits perfectly in the 17" space between counter & upper cabinet. There's even room for it to sit on a sliding kitchen caddy for easy roll-out. It's a beautiful machine. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love my K400 Kitchen Aid Blender! It is super easy to use and clean. The blender doesn't take up much room at all. The black color really gives it a simple yet sleek look to it. It blends really well. It's super powerful. I like the three preset recipe settings for Ice Crush, Icy Drinks and Smoothie so I don't have to guess at how well to blend my smoothies. I can adjust the speed to my preference of taste and texture with the 5-speed dial. The blender itself is sturdy. The motor is powerful with a 1.5 peak HP motor. Plus, the blades are sharp and durable to blend up any hard ingredients. I was very surprised at how quiet this blender actually is. I'm able to have a conversation while blending. I love how fast the blender actually crushes, blends and smooths my ingredients. I love the size of the large pitcher. This blender also has accessories that are sold separately to make this blender more versatile in the kitchen. I will definitely be purchasing in the future. I'm super happy with this product. Definitely recommend! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Full disclosure; I have yet to make a healthy smoothie, meal replacement, or blended ingredients for a fresh salsa with this blender. I've made margaritas with it. I've made more frozen margaritas with it in the past week than I have in the past few years with my old blender. It's pretty cool. The multiple power setting are nice, but the preset tings for different types of drinks are what have won me over. The blender seems to know how fast or slow to turn in order to get a solid frozen consistency. It's a heavy duty well made product that I'm super happy to have added to our home kitchen. You should be warned that heavy duty especially applies to the weight of the base. This isn't light weight, but I think that's a good thing. It's easy to use, and looks good. It's functional in purpose and design. I love the idea that this blender can also replace my food processor and smaller single serving blender by purchasing some accessories. I don't have any of those yet, but I'll be in the market to streamline our kitchen using this one product. This blender has the potential to help us clean out some drawers filled with other devices. It's as if the approach to this device is similar in the way the company handles their mixer. With the right adaptors it can be a lot more than a blender.

I try to make protein packed smoothies for my family every morning and this blender makes it enjoyable and I say! I have to say it's sleek design allows me to keep it on the counter. It's lightweight yet I like the fact that I can leave it out....I hate having to lug heavy appliances out to use! Impressed by the fact that there were no ice chunks. My smoothie was perfectly smooth! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love this blender! My main use is for making green smoothies and homemade nut butters. So, I want to make sure it's buttery smooth when blended. This definitely delivers. Has no issues finely blending nuts, hard fruits, and veggies. Makes them creamy and smooth in less than a minute. Compared to my Vitamix I find it takes a bit longer to make whole nuts blend smoothly. It still does but maybe 20 seconds longer. For the price cut compared to a vitamix definitely worth it though! Overall, I'm really happy with this blender and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance blender that looks great and delivers a great value. Pros: - Square sturdy body! Looks stylish and makes it easy to pour. - Pretty quiet for a high powered blender - Design-wise, it looks amazing on my counters. It has a sleek design looks modern and clean. Cons: - I find it a bit cumbersome to clean the blade portion when I make homemade peanut butter or other harder to clean products. I wish the blades were able to separate more easily for cleaning. - Wish it was glass and not plastic. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
