The previous kitchenaid blender did have the locking mechanism and it honestly annoyed me because it would still allow it to turn on without locking so I would always forget to lock it. Upgrading to this one and happy about it.
I'm going to try your almond milk recipe! I found your video because I bought this blender last year at a William Sonoma. I had much fun with it and apparently used the crap out of it because the blades of the blender jar are nearly frozen from heat. I was seeing of anyone else had this problem, but I have bought a Vitamix which has been in heavy use. However I still have the KitchenAid. I'll see if some place sells replacement jars. Thanks for the video! Even if you returned the blender, I like the almond milk recipe idea!
I just picked the K400 for $58. It was on clearance and was originally $289. It came with the class jug but not the smaller container like yours did. I think it was a good price for a blender.

@Jonathan B well that makes you a very smart shopper and tells me to look aaround more because it can really pay off. Thanks for the tip and enjoy blending .
@Li Reviews did you buy your blender yet? I just bought tĥis kitchenaid blender k400 about 2 weeks. It's working fantastic . Last night i decided to give it a really good test , a peeled Frozen orange, a peeled ,cored, sliced Frozen apple, a peeled Frozen banana, 1/4 greek yogurt, 3/4 çup baby carrots, 1 1/2cups milk, 2-3TBsp table syrup. This is a lot of frozen stuff and it was well beyond the Max line. I did have to run it on the smoothie setting 3 times, i think maybe 4 times i DIDN'T try adjusting the contents at all and without a pusher i couldn't help push down BUT between cycles i added a bit more milk each time .between 1/8-1/4cup. It turned out perfectly smooth and creamy, delicious with NO chunks at all.
I've seen many reviews of this blender and there is no need to hold your hand on top of it. Almost all blenders move a little bit at first and then the movement calms down as the ingredients are broken down. I also own this exact blender and I never have my hand on it.
I'm thinking of buying this blender, I bought a personal size small little cheap blender just for doing the odd smoothie and milkshake but it really struggles when the contents start to get thick so I really want something that is more powerful and also that can pulverize fruit seeds and fruit skins, I never like making a smoothie with blueberries and there's little specks of skin thoughout the smoothie.
I just bought this blender after wanting it for so long. Its beautiful but i was quite suprised there wasn't a locking mechanism so i'm a little dissapointed
If you crush ice? Does it pulverize the ice or is it actually making them to small pieces as it is supposed to be? Have you tried? Don’t know if I’ll buy this or the smaller model. Thanks for the review!
Li Fan, is the connection on the blender base to the blending jar (the contact point for the gears to spin the blades) made of metal like a vitamix or is it plastic like a ninja blender? Also is the connection on the blender jar to the blender base metal or plastic? Thanks. *****UPDATE: I looked at it at Costco, it's plastic on plastic connection. I'm going to spend the extra $40-$70 on a blendtec
Go vitamix, the blendtec i metal and metal but the vitamix is better, i had the blendtec, not happy with lose lid, chek out my 30 sec vid on here called "naughty blendtec"
@@en7ropiaz Got this for half the price amzn.to/37egJKb if you want a few more portable cups, this one is older model but better value: amzn.to/2SUTlZQ
Hello greetings ! Can I blend foods or only fruits with this? I want to purchase it this week and want the best whilst I have the funds, or tell me, what texture or consistency can this blender NOT blend so i am aware, ive also never blended anything in my life before, this feels like im about to purchase a Mercedes of a Blender, is this true?
Personally I think it's best to blend smoothies and fruits, as it's not designed to blend other things without much liquid. If you need to use it as a food processor, consider Ninja series of blenders that has extra blending attachments for food processing. amzn.to/3MkDHQR
@@TheGizmoGarage okay so I went ahead and bought the KitchenAid and I’m deffo sticking to fruits and smoothies for this bad boy machine Thank you very much for your response
When making dough, you’re better off with either a Ninja Blender, VitaMix Blender, a Food Processor or a Stand Mixer (KitchenAid, Kenwood, Cuisinart, Bosch, Etc).
Thanks for post this. I just got this blender and tried a little milk with banana. But doesnt make juice and noise loud. You put lots of water, but usually only me drink. Should i always put lots of liquid otherwise doesnt make shake? One more question, is your blade setting like "warbly" ? Mine is yes warbly. thank you for tell me!
To be fair, the lid is super tight. When the children are old enough to have the strength to open it, they are probably wise enough to know not to put their hand inside.

Yes I've seen a lot of blenders move and no one puts their hand on it. This on actually didn't move at all.

its kitchenaid. is not going to fall off from the base
I just bought this blender after wanting it for so long. Its beautiful but i was quite suprised there wasn't a locking mechanism so i'm a little dissapointed
Been wanting this blender! Think it's time to buy. 😌
Buy it! Its absolutely worth it🤩
Did you ever notice a slight burning smell whilst using it? I just bought it in UK .Good video
When brand new, yes, I think it's from the new plastic gets warm from motor running, should disapear more you use it.
@@TheGizmoGarageok thanks!

Don’t know if I’ll buy this or the smaller model. Thanks for the review!
Haven't tired ice, but other items it breaks them down to small pieces.
I saw another review for this blender and it completely pulverizes the ice no chunks left, it resembles snow.
Hi! In a bit of pinch -> what material is the blade support disc made from?
Plastic if I remember correctly.
@@TheGizmoGarage Thank you!!
This was a very thorough review!
Li Fan, is the connection on the blender base to the blending jar (the contact point for the gears to spin the blades) made of metal like a vitamix or is it plastic like a ninja blender? Also is the connection on the blender jar to the blender base metal or plastic?
Thanks.
*****UPDATE: I looked at it at Costco, it's plastic on plastic connection. I'm going to spend the extra $40-$70 on a blendtec
All plastic like ninja, personally I liked ninja better because of included safety features
Go vitamix, the blendtec i metal and metal but the vitamix is better, i had the blendtec, not happy with lose lid, chek out my 30 sec vid on here called "naughty blendtec"
do you think its worth it after using it for some time? I mean its expensive thing and seems very noisy
I liked cheaper Ninja blender. More useful with more attachments. Returned this back to costco for full refund
@@TheGizmoGarage Which Ninja blender did you go with?
@@en7ropiaz Got this for half the price amzn.to/37egJKb if you want a few more portable cups, this one is older model but better value: amzn.to/2SUTlZQ
I returned the ninja blender. It did not pulverize spinach or ice. I has a clumpy smoothy.
@@athomewithrobin292 i also found the ninja harder to put on the base and louder

Did the tamper come with it? I am looking to buy this very soon. When it goes back on sale!
From what I heard (from one of the local kitchenaid stores), the tamper doesn't come with 5KSB4026.
It depends on where you order or purchase it from. I think I saw it on Williams Sonoma sold with the tamper!
That sucker is loud. I guess if you want quiet you gotta shell out the big bucks for a Vitamix or a BlendTec....
May I know can this blender use to make dough ?
No you can not, this one only blends, best affordable multi use blender to make dough would be the Ninja and it costs less than this… amzn.to/3nHovml

Anyone experienced leaking of the jar?
If jar is leaking, you need a new one or contact KitchenAid for warranty.
Wasting lots of strawberries by cutting it like that, not good.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
$100 on costco right now
There is literally no point in you holding the blender while it is on! Lolz
Lack of safety is scary.
i agree
To be fair, the lid is super tight. When the children are old enough to have the strength to open it, they are probably wise enough to know not to put their hand inside.
