Very good blender August 21, 2008
The Engineer
I bought this to surprise my wife with a better blender. The old common one was continuously leaking. This one looks cool, runs reasonably quiet (quieter than expected), and is fast (really quick) and powerful. We love how it grates hard cheese, like Romano (but that is noisy, like crushing ice).
The base is easy to wipe clean. The container usually cleans up easily, except for the peanut butter in the breakfast smoothies (what can you expect).
Even the recipes in the manual are good. Love those oatmeal/raisin pancakes.
The wife is happy!

Totally disappointed with KitchenAid's quality assurance - My blender came DOA, it will not switch on. I bought this blender for my wife's birthday, it did not work for the first time she tried to use it. I went through the entire operation and troubleshooting sections of the owner's manual without success. It just will not switch on. So much for the best KitchenAid blender.

I knew that our old blender would soon be going into retirement so I had been looking for a replacement for some time. I must admit that I had not intended to pay so much for "just a blender" - this is anything BUT just a blender. The motor is what finally sold me as we needed one that could chop ice up without leaving 'chips'. This one chops ice into perfect shavings, almost slush without being watery. This machine makes the best smoothies that we have ever had. They are so creamy, it's almost like eating ice cream when you make them thick. YUMMY!!! Not one teensy ice chip ever enters my mouth...just smooth and creamy. Plus, we have noticed that this one does such a good job of sucking the mixture up and then down into the center which mixes it perfectly. Our old one seemed to only mix well what was down at the bottom where the blades are. This up-and-over action blends everything so that nothing is missed or shows up without being blended when pouring into your glass.
Yes, the motor is loud, but it takes mere seconds to whip up whatever is your choosing so how long is it actually running?! I like the fact that the pitcher and its base are an all-in-one; no need to worry about gaskets, or rings, molding and going bad, needing replaced. As the instructions state, just put a couple of drops of dishwashing soap into the canister after using, add about a half-pitcher of warm water and turn it on low for several seconds and it cleans itself. Rinse, dry - it's really easy to reach down to the bottom where the blades are and dry without fear of being cut - and you're ready to go again. I keep ours on the counter top because we use it so much. It's attractive sitting out and goes with any kitchen decor.
It's definitely worth the money and we have been very happy with our purchase.
A Strong Work Horse! This Kitchenaid Pro Line Chefs Blender Is Absolutely Exceptional! May 31, 2008

We Purchased this Kitchenaid Pro Line Chef's Blender for the main purpose of making Nut Milks. We wanted to purchase the Vita Mix because it is the most powerful blender you can buy, however the price is at least double the cost of this Chef's Blender, and at the time we really couldn't afford the Vita Mix. So we took a chance on this one because we need our blender to be a work horse. Our favorite Nut Milk is Almond Milk which requires us to use 1/2 cup Raw, Unsalted Almonds with each batch of nut milk we make. We do soak the almonds for about 8 hours before rinsing them out and adding them to the blender along with 1 cup of water, 5 Medjool Dates (Make sure you take the seeds out of the dates first), 1 Vanilla Bean (which we buy off of ebay because Vanilla Beans can be expensive) and sometimes a dash of Sea Salt and a splash of Almond Extract. Mix it up very well, then add 2 more cups of water and mix well. We personally like to chill our nut milk before drinking it, but you don't have to. With this blender it comes out really smooth so we don't have to extract any pulp like alot of people do, this way we can enjoy the full health benefits of drinking the whole mixture of nut milk. We generally always have nuts soaking for our next batch. If you want other recipes for nut milks, try most any Raw Food Cookbook, every recipe that I have found for Almond milk is different, you can change them to your own specifications also. I personally like "Ani's Raw Food Kitchen" by Ani Phyo, mainly because of her variety of nut milks and she is one of the few that doesn't extract all the pulp from her nut milk recipes. But there are many good books out there, I just find I use hers alot. Another good one for nut milks is "Raw Food Real World", by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis, if you'd rather extract the pulp, this particular book is great. In fact, Matthew Kenney has a new book out, "Everyday Raw" which is another excellent source for healthy blender drinks. At any rate, we all have our own reasons for needing a blender, if you need a strong one that is not quite as pricey as the Vita Mix but is a strong performer upon repeated use such as you would need when mixing harder nuts and other foods such as almonds then this a wonderful consideration! In Fact, we are getting ready to purchase one for our daughter and son in law as an Anniversary Gift!

I have learned my lesson. KitchenAid products from now on. First, I tossed my old mixer for the KitchenAid Classic mixer, and immediately was sorry I had not spent the money years earlier. The difference in performance is astonishing.
I finally gave in and purchased the KitchenAid Pro Line Chef's Blender. Again, remorse over not spending the extra money years ago. Whereas my old blender (some 500 watts) would struggle to crush/chop ice and frozen bananas, etc., the Kitchenaid, with it very, very powerful motor, would do the chore in under a minute, with no hint of struggle. No need to stop the blender and 'push down' with my spatula to get the ingredients to the bottom. The KitchenAid simply gets the job done the first time.
The main reason I made the purchase: to make Frozen Bananan 'ice cream'. This is a dish introduced to me by a Raw Food person (they do not eat regular ice cream). Since I am a diabetic and always dieting, I was intrigued by this healthy alternative. The recipe:
slice up a couple of bananas, and freeze overnight.
Place frozen banana's in your blender or food processor.
Add a tablespoon or two of Raw Agave syrup (get at health food store or buy from Amazon).
Add teaspoon or two of vanilla extract.
Dash of salt, if desired (I do not, my wife does).
Blend until consistency of ice cream (in the KitchenAid, takes about 30 seconds). Enjoy. We actually tossed our 'fat-free sugar-free ice cream' after tasting this.
Add more Agave if you wish (it has a very low glycemic value).
I also like to add a couple of frozen strawberries to the bananas, or peaches, etc. My wife even made pure peach ice cream, using peaches instead of bananas in the recipe.
I do recommend the KitchenAid Pro Line Chef Blender.
