KitchenAid KSB5 5-Speed Blender, Imperial Black

We have owned this blender for about 6 years and while we love its sturdy feel and clean design, the rubber coupler that allows the blade/blender to function started to deteriorate over time. I looked to find a replacement part and appliance.net has...

I'm surprised to see all the negative reviews on here for this model. My family has had the KSB5 for about five years now and it has always worked quite well for us. Smoothies come out fine, ice is crushed into small particles without a fuss, and...

I had a previous version of this blender for 5-6 years of very light use. I started making protein smoothies with crushed ice and it pooped out shortly thereafter. The blade strips from the drive. Couldn't find a replacement. If this stripping is a...

Yes that is the only problem...it does not blend. If you put items in that were first blended with an Oster then it would work. You can put in fresh strawberries and blend it for 10 minutes at any speed and there are chunks of fruit....always. This...

Purchased 4 years ago and used 10 times a year. Began to use 5 times per week January 2009, the rubber part that propels the blades began to slowly break off. The rubber completely broke off completely on July 02. Will Never buy Kitchen Aid again. ...

Before this I had a $19 cheapy blender. After 10 years it finally gave out. I was excited to upgrade to a Kitchen Aid, but so disappointed when I started to use it. I doesn't even chop up the blueberries in my smoothies. It just kind of mixes them...

When I first moved in with my husband I was excited about using his Kitchenlame Blender. It looked so sleek and powerful - a far cry from my twenty year old Oster, which was on it's last leg. (My fault, I accidentally melted part of it - don't ask.)...

Like all the other reviews on here my coupling broke. I paid about 129$ for this blender around 4 years ago and use it off and on. What a rip, I spent that much on a blender expecting it to last longer. I will be very wary about buying kitchen aid...

What is happening at Kitchen Aid? First my new toaster breaks and then my new blender? This blender is almost all high quality glass and metal but the one plastic part that holds them together shattered on mine after only about 10 uses. Now it's...

Super powerful, durable, easy to clean. Replaced another traditional US brand that is supposed to be durable, but was really just underpowered, fragile, expensive junk. Wonderful appliance. Great purchase.
