Create Delicious Blends with KitchenAid's K400 Variable Speed Blender

Don Malcolm: If you like making smoothies and/or slushees EASILY, with no mess and everything blended perfectly with a simple dial selection and one push of a button, this is for you! We had other blenders that would leak or not be able to slice through certain frozen fruits without issues, and this beautiful piece of blending art put our other two to shame. It’s also easy to clean! My only complaint is with the citrus juicer attachment not being available from the manufacturer, let alone anyone else. Hopefully it’ll be back in stock some day. Regardless, super impressed with this blender. If only everything else in life ran so smooth…ie!

Xavier: Have not found anything negative about this equipment; I am pleased so far.

UPDATE: Perfect blender, does not walk as it is blending, not too loud; the best I've ever purchased. Thanks for making it available!!! :)

kim antoniuk: This is a great blender. It really pulls the ingredients down into the middle and the ‘start slow snd then speed up’ seems to keep everything from splashing on the sides. It is also a lot quieter and very powerful compared to my old ninja blender.

Lisa: I was deciding to splurge and get a vitamix. I’m glad I chose to buy this blender instead. I wanted a blender that doesn’t make my smoothies ‘chunky’. I can put any fruit/vegetable and it purées everything.

Oscar: I really like this blender. It’s powerful, quiet, easy to use, and looks very nice. I previously had a Ninja blender which was also very powerful but it was a chore to clean, the KitchenAid is way easier to clean and it still works very well to chop even fine grains, I used it to pulverize marine salt and it worked great.

JLynn in Milford: This blender is capable of doing every job I've tried. It is powerful and heavy enough that it doesn't move around on my counter. As mentioned it is a strong plastic type material not glass.

Klemens Windisch: Hasta ahora cada maquina Kitchen Aid nos encanta (tenemos varias). Lo malo es, que son tan bien construidas y tan robustas que casi nunca se rompen y por eso casi nunca se puede comprar una nueva Kitchen Aid. Despues de 15 años de frequente uso fue necesario comprar una nueva K.A. y nos hemos decidido en favor de este modelo mencionado. Nos llegó antes del dia avisado. La maquina es impresionante. Debido a un motor y mecanismo ultra fuerte y robusto (tipo Harley Davidson) es increible en que forma la maquina realiza cualquier trabajo sin uno darse cuenta que el trabajo sea dificil. Sea con pocas o con muchas revoluciones. Muy practico es, que siempre empieza con pocas revoluciones y lentamente aumenta a la revolucion deseada. No es barata pero el precio es absolutamente en linea con el placer que nos da esta maquina.

Ineverbuywithoutresearch: So I just made two perfect Margaritas with the push of a button. I’ve had a few in my lifetime and the blended texture of these was amazing ... cheers!
As for the blender ... it’s a solid unit. The cup is not glass as some have commented. A glass one can be ordered but the one included is plastic (56oz). Heavy, solid plastic so I have no complaint. It won’t shatter.
Rotated to the right, the dial control takes you from pulse (turned furthest to the left ), off, speeds 1 through 5, then the preset cycles (which I love), crushed ice, icy beverage (my margarita), smoothies, and self clean.
For the margaritas, with my ingredients in the cup, I turned the dial from left to right to the icy drink preset, and pressed the “play” button which started the cycle of alternating speeds from low to high over about 30 seconds, that turned all the ingredients (24 ice cubes, 4oz tequila, 2 oz triple sec, 2 oz lime juice, 2 oz simple syrup, sprinkle of kosher salt) into an amazingly smooth, almost fluffy cocktail enjoyed by all.
My son has made impressive smoothies with frozen fruit, fresh bananas.and yoghurt. Again the “smoothie” cycle varied speeds for...

Jefferey T. Hammann: Extremely powerful, quickly breaking down large amounts of frozen fruit. Pretty quiet low freq sound, not the high pitched whirring that drills into your head. I had a Vitamix that I never used as it was too bulky. I store the blender under the cabinet and slide it out from under, then slide it back. The Vitamix was like a tank. This blender is pretty heavy but has slots on the bottom sides that make it much easier to stick your fingers in and slide than the Vitamix. Love the durable plastic jug that is light and cleans up easily inside, with large sturdy blades. Super attractive for a blender!

Krista E.: I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews, it almost kept me from purchasing this blender but I love my KitchenAid stand mixer so I decided to get this to match. It’s by far the best blender I’ve ever used—it’s heavy and feels durable. I’ve been making smoothies, salsas, and açaí bowls almost every day since it arrived. The presets for crushing ice and blending drinks are awesome and work great! It also has specially designed blades that pull the contents down so everything is always evenly blended.

The only con I have is that it’s very loud but it is a POWERFUL blender so I don’t mind. I also think for the price it should come with a glass pitcher vs plastic. The gear that turns the blade is plastic and I worry about longevity but time will tell. Overall very pleased with this blender!
