Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Gasket’

We’ve had the Ikon for a couple of years. At first I was in love with it. It’s powerful and looks good.

However, the design flaw is in how hard it is to clean. Taking the base on and off is not that hard, albeit inconvenient.

But there are parts (where thick liquid leaks in around the bottom of the jar) that don’t come off, unless perhaps with screwdriver? There are 4 tiny screws there, but for godsake, do you have to take the entire thing apart with a screwdriver to get it clean? Major problem.

It just doesn’t seem all that hygienic to have old food stuck there. I have to remove the base for every use (and the solid pitcher is heavy for people like me with spinal issues - that would be a plus if i was 20 years younger before injury). Removing it is a bit of a hassle (if it’s tight there is a tool that comes with the blender) but that’s not what I’m complaining about.

The problem is EVEN WHEN YOU REMOVE THE ENTIRE BOTTOM MECHANISM (the part containing the blades and rubber gasket)and wash everything out, you can see the smoothie/soup/puree stuck in parts where the bottom doesn’t come off, between the glass and that big silver base of the pitcher. I have tried soaking it in the sink, running through the dishwasher, but this food is just in there. That seems unhygienic.

If it didn’t have this problem, I would love it. It’s a good machine. But why so difficult to clean? Not worth it. If they fixed this cleaning issue, I’d buy another Ikon. But as-is, I’m tired of trying to get it clean. Such a shame.

Last year I bought the newer big version (big plastic pitcher) and it had the same problem, so I returned it. Breville, have a home cook inspect your designs!

So to recap - no problems with durability or power, well-made with the exception of oops! - someone forgot that a blender needs to be cleaned. And the pitcher is super-heavy, so disabled/injured users take note.

This item was NOT as pictured, it is missing the metal washer on the top, and it rusted the first time I washed it. This is a poorly made piece of garbage that was not even worth the time to send it back.

FWIW, I ordered this and it did come with the gasket/sealing ring.

I live in the middle of nowhere and do appeciate being able to purchase something like this from amazon, but considering what this is, a rubber gasket, the shipping costs were outrageous. A gasket doesn’t need a padded envelope; wrap it in a single sheet of paper and stick it in a letter size envelope with a .42 stamp for gosh sakes!

$45 for the blade/gasket assembly !?!?!? You could buy TWO blenders for this price! And the Cuisinart CBT-500 is NOT WORTH IT either !!!

The rings are a little to small for the standard size, but because there are mixed reviews, I’m guessing the manufacture is inconsistent with the size that is made. Maybe you will get what you need and maybe you won’t.

I just had to contradict the one star reviewer here. I wanted a second cutter blade to go with my new travel cup (so I wouldn’t have to swap the bottoms around), but after reading the one star review I was concerned that I wouldn’t be receiving the same blade that came with the blender (the same one pictured). But the part number matched, so I took a leap and ordered it. This IS the commercial cutter that came with the commercial blenders… the picture is exactly what you’ll get. I have to assume the one star reviewer either reviewed the wrong item or somehow was shipped the wrong item. I ordered this exact item, from this exact page, and I received the item pictured… which is the same exact cutter that came with my Hamilton Beach commercial blender. You get just what is pictured, no gasket and no bottom screw cap… so if you need those too get them seperately. I’m very happy with it, and I plan on getting another one (along with another travel cup). Like I said, I just had to balance out the negative review.

Replaced an 30 year old Oster blender with this KitchenAid - and I love it. I use it 2-3 times a week.

Pros:
1. Power: It makes terrific smoothies and handles both fresh and frozen fruit.
2. Appearance: I had originally planned to keep the blender in my appliance garage. But this blender is so attractive (brushed nickel finish with black top), that I’ve left it out on my counter. It looks great and goes perfectly with the appliances in my kitchen.
3. Ease of cleaning. My old blender had 4 parts (blade, gasket, jar, and bottom plastic piece that held the blades and gasket). It was a pain to clean. This one-piece blade and jar makes clean-up a snap. I fill the jar with warm water and a squirt of dish washing liquid. I can drop the blender lid and plastic cap into the the jar itself - and wash everything in one quick step.
4. Jar size. I love the 56 oz. size. I can make several large-size smoothies at once.
5. The polycarbonate jar: I was really worried about this because I had always had a glass jar. I was afraid it might scratch, break, or otherwise not last as long as my old glass jar. But I decided to take a chance and really appreciate the lighter weight.
6. Pouring spout: my old blender didn’t have a spout. You were expected to pour from one of the corners - and I usually made a mess. The shape of this jar makes pouring even full loads easy to do, especially since the jar itself is light.
7. Controls: My older blender had push buttons. No matter how carefully I tried to clean it, eventually dirt, spills, whatever accumulated around the buttons and couldn’t be easily cleaned. This blender is a snap to wipe off - and no grooves that can trap food.

Cons: It is noisier than my old blender. But all the pros definitely outweigh this con
