KitchenAid 5KSB1585BOB Diamond Blender - Black

Product Information

Positives: In general it is a nice looking blender with a sturdy feel, clean design, and simple controls. We’ve used this model for years and find that it blends frozen fruit, ice, raw vegetables, and soft items quite easily.

For a more affordable option the Diamond blender is a decent performer but keep in mind that it isn’t the most powerful blender in its price range. FAQ’s : KitchenAid is a well respected appliance brand and their blender always have a nice design and feel. We recommend the K400 if you want the strength of a high-powered blender without the high price tag of the Proline model. The overall performance of the blender is impressive, and all you need to do to make it better is blend for a little longer time, but also don’t forget to take breaks in between to avoid overheating. KitchenAid is a brand that has combined an attractive design in a good range of color options with sturdy robust parts that get the job done, and this blender is no different. It has a relatively heavy, sturdy base that is still compact enough for easy storage. Clean design and simple controls with light-up indicators to show what blending function you are using.
