KitchenAid 5KSB5ECR

Does it blend, well yes of course. We have had this blender for about a year now, and it was working fine, til we put some mince in it... You see the problem, or intended design flaw with this product is the plastic teeth on the coupler (connects jug...

I have owned this for a while now and I have to say it works very well for me. I mostly use it for making smoothies (anything in the fruitbowl that looks a bit old!) with ice and a bit of cream and for this it is fantastic. I can see what some of the...

I've been delighted with this lovely looking blender for the last 6 months - light usage, smoothies, soups etc. However I am very upset at having a totally useless blender now due to the 'teeth' on the base simply having sheared off! Out of warranty,...

I bought a Kitchenaid Mixer recently and got one of these at the same time, although I purchased it on a whim I am extremely pleased with this blender. Like most people who have purchased Kitchenaid branded goods, I became so fed up of the cheap...

I bought myself one of these impressively sturdy ice crushing blenders a couple of years ago thinking it would last me and be one of those investment pieces. I was disappointed from the outset but when you've spent that much what do you do? I...

I was very concerned before I ordered this given all the negative comments/reviews, but it looked so robust and chunky that I couldn't resist getting one - and I'm SOO glad I did! To say the blades aren't sharp is crazy, they are very very sharp...

After two years the teeth have broken off and the blender is now useless. Not good for such an expensive item. This is a very common fault for this blender (as I now know).

Please don't buy this - simply not worth the money, however good its 50s-style looks. As many others have pointed out, the rubber teeth that connect the motor to the jug are not strong enough and sheer off. I think this machine is made to simply look...

This blender is really easy to use and the instruction buttons on the front are clear. I tend not to use it for soups, prefering to minimise on washing up by using stick blender in the pan, but for pancake batter and smoothies, it works a treat. I...

Looks great - but doesn't last. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the rubber 'teeth' shear off in time. KitchenAid send a tiny pathetic spanner and a replacement rubber mechanism - but the spanner will not engage with the spindle and we've now...
