KitchenAid blenders join the ranks of one of the most popular small appliances in the kitchen today. The popularity of fruit smoothies and vegetable healthy drinks have made the blender an essential appliance to own. Blenders come in two or more speed settings and have a capacity of up to 48 ounces. There is a choice of plastic, glass, or stainless steel containers.

One of the KitchenAid blenders that is very popular is a five-speed control. It has a metal base for extra sturdiness. The controls are easy to see and use and the lid has a removable ingredient cap. There are pulse features with a 40 ounce container that can be used at any speed. The power cord is stored under the base and out of sight. This helps it to blend in with the kitchen decor when not in use.

Facts about KitchenAid Blenders

KitchenAid blenders are a powerful blender. The speed of mixing is controlled by a sensor that keeps the speed of blending at a constant speed. This makes for a very complete blending of ingredients. Some of the blenders have a brushed stainless steel 40 ounce jar that is dishwasher safe. The sturdy metal base is designed to reduce vibration and protect the countertop.

The intended use of the blender will determine which power you should purchase. The more intense the use - such as ice crushing - requires a higher amount of power. Likewise, blending fresh fruit does not require the same level of power. Also, the amount of volume needed should be taken into consideration before purchase.
