Loved it initially, it has a strong motor and the base appears to be built solid. The honeymoon ends 1-2 years into having it. KitchenAid appliances do not last. I had the immersion blender replaced in warranty because it broke, same goes for older model of this blender where the motor mount broke, and now I'm on hold by customer service for this one as something started smoking, ruined my recipe and the entire kitchen stinks like melted plastic. For such an expensive appliance and for the name it carries, this is just unacceptable. I am using these appliances once in a blue moon and I'd like them to work. Can't imagine what would happen if I used them daily. If they don't handle this within my warranty, I will never ever buy a single KitchenAid thing in my life again.

We gave it a shot, and are beyond pleased; this blender is a kitchen megastar. For those in the same situation, looking to replace a high-end blender but not spend a fortune, you should give the K400 serious consideration. Here are the standout points:• Solid, 1200-watt motor (1.6hp as opposed to VM’s 2hp – little noticeable difference)• Excellent container action/flow• Container is easy to handle and clean• Has a tamping tool, vital for nut butters, smoothies• Superior ice-crushing ability• Super-smooth pureeing for silky smoothies, soups• Intelligent presets for various blending tasks• Quieter operation than VM• Dressier appearance than Vitamix, and more color options• Less than half the price of a VitamixSomething the K400 doesn’t claim is to “cook” things, which is fine with us; every time we had tried to make hot items using the VM’s high speed to create heat, it produced an off, mildly bitter flavor that tasted like the smell of burned motor oil. Cooking isn’t a feature we needed from the K400, so all good. While the capacity is about 8 oz. less than the VM model we had, we find the K400's capacity every bit as useful.The K400 produces commercial-grade smoothies and shakes, and we found that even with seedy fruits like raspberries, the consistency is smoother than we were getting in the VM. The ice-crushing ability is impressive, perfect for frozen drinks or shave ice treats depending on how long you blend. Because of the excellent container flow due to the asymmetrical blade positioning, we have found it easier to achieve perfect powdered sugar in less time with the KitchenAid – with absolutely no graininess or off flavors. Same for nut butters. We made a smooth almond butter that was absolutely perfect for truffles and I appreciated the ability to empty the container of the nut butter more readily than the VM. And the functional presets for things like crushing ice, blending smoothies and making frozen drinks are intelligently programmed and very useful.One of the few drawbacks of this beautiful machine (and it’s not a dealbreaker) is the the markings on the speed control. They are so light that they are hard to read. This is mainly a problem while getting familiar with the machine, but you may find yourself requiring a flashlight to see the icons clearly until you memorize their placement. One other small peeve I have is that this blender (like the VM) doesn’t have a removable base for cleaning – you must clean the container by hand and using the clean feature – but this is more a matter of physics for high-horsepower machines such as these, as removable bases present an opportunity for leakage that an all-one-piece container doesn’t. Finally, due to the speed and torque created by this blender, it’s not one I’d turn on and walk away from. The formed base is situated shallowly enough in the motor well that I’d never feel comfortable with anything less than a hand atop the lid to keep things steady – the container can rock a bit when crushing ice or frozen fruit – but again, not a dealbreaker. We love the performance of this machine.Overall, the K400 is a workhorse that, at less than half the price of a Vitamix, gives all the performance we expected and looks far more elegant on the countertop.I was not compensated for this review.

I give this product a one star review because after a year, the blender is unusable. I purchase a k400 blender Nov 2021. It worked great for a year. Nov 2022 the blender started to leak a brown metallic substance from the bottom of the blade assembly and now unusable. I read thru the previous reviews and others have the same issue. They were told to call KitchenAid. I did, several times and I got nowhere. I have been on hold for over two hours several times trying to speak to a live person. Nothing. I sent two emails thru their system, nothing. I tried to use the chat feature. It doesn’t work. Maybe this review will force someone to reach out directly to me. We like the blender, attempting to get a replacement jar has been terrible.
I bought this juicer in Jan, 2022 replacing the KitchenAid blender that I used nealy 15 years. When I started using this juicer, I am impressed that they blends very good compairing to the previous blender. The juice is very smooth and done in much shorter time. After using a couple of month, I heard very strange noise from the machine and smelled burnt. I use this blender every morning for just making vegetable juice that contains kale, chia seed, hemp seed and some carrots. I never use crashing ice or something hard staff. After a while, the blender jar leaked. Leaking happened previous blender and I needed to purchase the jar almost every year. But I thought that's a consumable goods. Since I had no problem with my old blender, I did not purchase an extended ... MoreI bought this juicer in Jan, 2022 replacing the KitchenAid blender that I used nealy 15 years.

Since I had no problem with my old blender, I did not purchase an extended warranty. I am concerened about this happened within 2 or 3 months. The strainge noise happens once in a while. But I still love this blender.
Too early to properly assess reliability and long-term use, however, we're very pleased (I'm tempted to use the term "we LOVE" this blender, but find it difficult to "love" an inanimate, non-living machine!). Also great that it's made in the West (includes western Europe, etc...excludes Russia) specifically, in this case, mfd in the USA.This device blends very well, we emphasize VERY well and very quickly. Honestly, for almost half the price, it seems to blend better than our Vitamix, that cost almost twice as much as the KitchenAid. In all fairness to Vitamix, the perception of better blending may be related to a larger container on the Vitamix, requiring additional time for blending. Nonetheless, the container on this KitchenAid K400 is more than sufficient, ... MoreToo early to properly assess reliability and long-term use, however, we're very pleased (I'm tempted to use the term "we LOVE" this blender, but find it difficult to "love" an inanimate, non-living machine!).

In all fairness to Vitamix, the perception of better blending may be related to a larger container on the Vitamix, requiring additional time for blending. Nonetheless, the container on this KitchenAid K400 is more than sufficient, ample capacity to make two 32-oz pureed beverages ("PBs" -- protein, frozen fruit mixtures..."smoothies"). I.e., all PBs, even using a large quantity of frozen fruit, mix and blend, again, VERY well.Final notes, the quality on this device seems excellent, although only 3 months into use (albeit heavy use), considering that this KitchenAid was a "refurbished" unit (Fyi, many "refurbished" products simply mean those products were returned either unopened or opened packaging but unused; after magnifying-glass-close-inspection, this particular K400 appears to never have been removed from its original packaging, possibly never opened. Regardless, this KitchenAid K400 comes with the same warranty as a new K400). Oh, and the 4-star rating for "Performance" is due to brief, 3-month, heavy use, otherwise, if 5-years old with the same use and performance, that "Performance" would be 5+ Star.To your good health!
To me the KSB4027 Contour Silver Blender resembles a Knight in Shining Armour.I have been eyeing this blender for atleast a couple of years. Never bought it because it was very pricey so instead spent on a Kenwood , Breville and even a Russell Hobs blender .A total waste as none of them could blend the spices to make exotic Indian curries.Put my KSB4027 Contour Silver Blender to the test by blending a vindaloo paste. . My expectations were well founded.as iit did it effortlessly and I had a smooth well ground vindaloo pasteThe pork vindaloo was sensational. Was impatient to try if the KSB4027 Contour Silver Blender would also grind soaked rice to make idlis, dosas and uthapams. Did a small batch and that turned out well. Have also made a paste for a crab curry. ... MoreTo me the KSB4027 Contour Silver Blender resembles a Knight in Shining Armour.I have been eyeing this blender for atleast a couple of years.

My old blender broke so I wanted to upgrade as I use it daily: enter the KitchenAid K400!I primarily was looking for a stylish black matte blender I could keep out on my limited kitchen bench space (and that blended into my black tiles), while being able to make thick smoothies for my daily smoothie bowl. This hit everything I wanted and is even quieter than my old one!I love it and am glad I decided to buy this over some other blenders I was comparing with.It's also really pretty even though I went a very understated black.I use it daily for blending frozen berries/bananas/milk etc. if that makes it helpful for someone deciding to purchase.Only negative thing I've found so far is accessories are add-ons, so if you want a smaller jug, you will need to pay ... MoreMy old blender broke so I wanted to upgrade as I use it daily: enter the KitchenAid K400!I primarily was looking for a stylish black matte blender I could keep out on my limited kitchen bench space (and that blended into my black tiles), while being able to make thick smoothies for my daily smoothie bowl.

The k400 was sent to me as a warranty replacement for a previous model that I had and was excellent, but the jar failed and the connector on the bottom crumbled. As that model was NLA, they sent me the k400.What a terrible blender! The blades got stuck after less than 6 months. The customer service attendant said that it was because I washed it in the dishwasher and I should NEVER wash a kitchenaid blender jar in the dishwasher. (OK, so the product description, the answers on the question section and the user manual are wrong)Now the bonus. The replacement jar only costs MORE than a brand new k400 blender. (Which kitchenaid won't replace because washing it in the dishwasher is an user error)So.... I'll just buy a new blender, not from Kitchen-Aid, but I'll ... MoreThe k400 was sent to me as a warranty replacement for a previous model that I had and was excellent, but the jar failed and the connector on the bottom crumbled.
