Afraid to use it...:

I have both a KA stand mixer and KA dishwasher and love both of them. I didn't mind paying a premium for the KA name on a blender, but what a disappointment!
The good:
The profile is esthetically pleasing. While the glass (that's very good) container seems a little small, it's just fine for most blending tasks. You won't want to make margaritas for a crowd (or ANY margaritas for that matter), but for one or two servings, it's generous. The squatty wide-mouth shape is very nice for cleaning and... more info

Disappointed:

I bought this item because of other Kitchen Aid products I've used in the past and liked. It did not live up to my expectations.

Middle of the Road Blender:

I bought this blender because I love my KichenAid Mixer. The KitchenAid Blender is middle of the road. I'm afraid I won't ever know what the best blender for smoothies would be, since I already bought this one.
If you have ever had a cheep blender, you will know that they have weak motors, a plastic jar that will crack and leaky gaskets. The KitchenAid has a much more powerful motor, and a glass jar, but it strains to chop ice. I think it was designed for ice, since one of the pictures for this model... more info
