I am a cheapskate. No, really. At restaurants, I make free fresh squeezed lemonade by squeezing lemon wedges into my water and then adding several packages of sugar. So I know from cheap.
Spending money on a high-end blender like this went against every fiber in my body. Couldn't we just buy a cheapo blender from the store? But I'm happy I made the purchase two years ago.
Kitchenaids are known as the toughest performers on the block, and I can tell you that their blenders meet this description. We've put it through its paces -- whether it be making smoothies with lots of ice -- or grinding up vegetables for a soup.
The blender has a convenient "Pulse" option, as well as five convenient power levels.
My only complaint is that it can be somewhat of a pain to clean, even though you can put it in the dishwasher.
Bottom line: It's worth the money.
