Best KitchenAid Blenders | Top KitchenAid Blender Tested and Reviewed

Fitted with a pleasingly retro aesthetics, the KitchenAid K400 is a powerful blender who’s 1200 watt motor will tear through even the toughest ingredients.

However, style and good looks isn’t the only thing this blender offers, and along with a BPA-free, 56 oz pitcher, the model comes with three useful presets – Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie.

The blade features a unique, asymmetrical design that has all four blades bent at distinct angles. This helps pull the food into the blade, creating one of the most even blends of all models we tested.

The model also features a handy Smart Start feature that causes the motor to start slow, pulling the food into the blade before the 1.5 HP motor kicks into full gear. What’s more, the blender even comes with a self-clean setting, making it highly convenient.

Finally, the K400 blender comes with an impressive 5 year warranty, which trust us when we say, is excellent compared to what you’ll get with other countertop blenders.

Built for max performance, the KSB6060 is a heavy duty blender that’s fitted with a 3.0 HP motor and heavy-duty stainless steel blades. In fact, this blender is so strong, that when we tested it using a heavily-frozen banana, the model had no issues at all.

The model comes with 10 speed settings and a pulse button, and works well for crushing ice cubes or chopping through fibrous greens.

We were also impressed by the larger-than-average 60 oz blender pitcher, which comes complete with a plastic lid and stick tamper.

While the model doesn’t come with the fancy pre-sets you’ll find on other countertop blenders, the number of speed control gives you all the control you need.

However, the KSB60606 countertop blender is expensive, and although it comes with an impressive 5 year warranty, may be out of the some people’s price range. Still, it’s a very powerful blender that’s capable powering through even the toughest of tasks (nuts, roots, and hard vegetables included).

If you found the last two models a bit on the expensive side, consider checking out the K150. Despite it’s reduced price tag, this blender is seriously powerful and can crush a half tray of ice in less than 10 seconds!

This counter top blender is simple, and along with a Pulse/Ice Crush setting, comes with three speed settings. However, the blender is outfitted with Intelli Speed Motor Control – a helpful feature that automatically adjusts the speed for an optimized blend.

However, at 0.9 HP, the motor is somewhat underpowered compared to some of the higher end models. Still, we found it worked surprisingly well, and upon testing, had no issues making nut butter out of even the toughest nuts.

For accessories, the K150 comes with a 48 oz. Blender Pitcher and plastic lids. If you need more options, the K150 is compatible with all KitchenAid 6 oz. small batches jars and 16 oz. personal blender jars.

We’ve tested our fair share of immersion blenders and we can confidently say this is one of the best. Not only is it surprisingly strong for a hand blender, but it can blend up to 20 bowls of soup of just a 25 minute charge.

The blender is fitted with detachable blending arm, which makes it easy to store and clean. It also comes with a KitchenAid-exclusive removeable pan guard.

If you like the idea of using a hand blender, but don’t want to scuff up your expensive pots or pans, simply attach the guard to the end of the blending arm and your set.

While blending, you’ll have the choice of 7 speed settings and a safety trigger that must be held down while using. Although the safety switch is designed to prevent accidents, we found it took a bit getting used to and some may find it uncomfortable at first.

While testing, we were also impressed by how quiet the model is – making it a great alternative to loud countertop blenders.

KitchenAid’s strongest blender, this model comes with a powerful 3.5 HP motor and sturdy, die cast metal base.

Interestingly, the blender comes equipped with 11 speed settings and neat Pulse feature that can be run on both high and low. If you use the blender at full speed, be warned – it can be very noisy.

However, we see it as a small price to pay for the ability to make up to 60 oz of thick smoothies in one batch.

We were also pleased to see the blender is NSF certified for commercial use. In case you’re unaware, NSF certification means it meets the strict standards for public health safety.

There are a few drawbacks, however. For starters, it is quite expensive – but hey – you get what you pay for. Secondly, the model doesn’t come with a push stick. That said, the plastic lid does have come with a plastic cap, meaning you could purchase one separately.

Despite these minor drawbacks, this is easily the most powerful KitchenAid blender on the market and the best option for heavy duty blending.
