Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Warm Water’

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

My primary use for a blender is frozen drinks and smoothies. I went through 3 blenders before finding this one. Frozen fruit is no problem for this guy. Ice crushing is a breeze and I use ice right from my freezer. Yes, it is noisy but I expect a 600 watt motor to be noisy. And I agree the pouring is sometimes an issue, I just pour out the corner of the jug.
Cleaning is no problem, fill the empty jar with a little warm water, a drop or two of dish soap and blend. Then use the warm soapy water to clean the outside. The key is too not let food or ingredients dry up on it.
I wouldn’t trade it for anything and have purchased another one for my step-daughter and her family. Love my blender!

I didn’t realize how difficult it could be to find a dependable blender. I had an Oster for about a year, but when it froze-up, I could not even find any support for it on their website. That’s when I started reading horrible reviews about its short life. I’ve come to realize that small kitchen appliances are disposable. You have to find one you like and when it breaks, replace it!
This time, I decided to spend more on a better blender and the Breville 550XL has exceeded my expectations. It’s not their most expensive blender, but it’s right for my use.
Foremost, READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK FIRST! I learned how to avoid some of the problems reported in other reviews.
I don’t use the blender daily, but when I do, it performs flawlessly. It makes ice into snow and does it quietly. We love it for the rich texture it gives to margaritas.
I’ve had no problems with leaking as some report. Mainly because the way the blades are engineered in the stainless steel bowl of the blender, it really doesn’t need to be removed for cleaning after every use. I blend some warm water with a drop of dish detergent and rinse it out.
The Breville is the best-built blender I’ve seen compared to other, more expensive, “professional” models.
Ultra quiet. Does the job quickly. Excellent value.
