5 Things to Consider When Buying a Countertop Blender

Are you ready to buy a new blender? KitchenAid® blenders are engineered with premium components for precision, making them the first choice for many. However, not every model is right for every maker’s needs. Consider the following five factors to help you find the right KitchenAid blender for you! 1. Capacity. This is the first category to consider. After all, you want a blender that is going to blend the right amount every time. For example, our 3-speed Ice Crushing Blender offers a jar size of 48 ounces for frozen drinks and smoothies. Our K400 Variable Speed Blender offers even more capacity with a 56-ounce jar, and our High Performance Series Blender and the Pro Line® Series Blender come with standard 60-ounce blending jars. 2. Power. The KitchenAid® three-part blending system is what sets our blenders apart from competitors. The ribbed jar creates a vortex that pulls ingredients into an asymmetrical blade that cuts four separate ways, optimizing the blend by never retracing the same path. Intellispeed motor control senses contents in the blender and adjusts accordingly. This power is part of every single blender model we offer: • K150 Three Speed Blender – This model can crush ice in under 10 seconds, letting you achieve ideal taste, texture and consistency for your best-tasting smoothies. • K400 Variable Speed Blender – This blender can take whole foods to smoothies in just 20 seconds for fast and delicious beverage creations. • K600 High Performance Series Blender – This model really ratchets up the power with a three peak horsepower motor and a range of variable speeds. • Pro Line® Series Blender – Finally, the Pro Line Series includes a three-and-a-half peak horsepower motor, empowering professional culinary possibilities. 3. Function. Functionality is crucial when buying a new blender. The K150 model is right for you if you’re just looking to crush ice and blend smoothies. The K400 and K600 models are designed for tough ingredients if you want to make butters and sauces with your blender. Finally, the Pro Line Series model offers a Thermal Control Jar, so you can create texture that is either hot or cold. 4. Control. Each KitchenAid blender offers you the control to blend how you want with a unique set of controls, variable speeds and blending programs. If you want preset functionality, the K150 offers Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie programs to give you exactly what you want. The K400 model, on the other hand, offers a five-speed dial for precise speed control. The High Performance model includes nine variable speeds and pulse, while the Pro Line Series model includes 11 speeds and Soups, Smoothies and Juices recipe settings. 5. Color. Finally, you want a blender that matches your kitchen and creative style. All KitchenAid blenders come in a variety of colors, so you can mix, match and customize. If you want a larger selection of colors, the K400 model offers the color creativity you desire. No matter which blender you choose, the KitchenAid blender collection excels in capacity, power, function, control and color. Explore all blenders from KitchenAid today!
