Bought this brand because I heard it can chop up ice cubes - Don't start with full size ice cubes because I got that burn smell, but using the smaller ice cubes worked great. Other than that no issues. Forgot to send mail in rebate form, but even still cost was much lower still than at the big retail stores i looked for it at.
Rating: - Blender like Tim Allen would build
This Kitchen Aid blender is great. It has 500+ Watts of power so I won't burn up another blender motor anytime soon. I like the sealed buttons, so if there's a spill it won't get down into the cracks around the buttons. When I first put it on its highest speed I was afraid it might take off like an airplane!
The only downside is the blender jar and the blades are one unit - so if you tear up the blades it'll be expensive to replace them.
However, given the power this thing puts out, I'm not sure the older style of blender/blade combo would hold up.

Rating: - A nice blender
This blender works like a charm. We have made a lot of fruit smoothies with it and the result has always been perfect.
We had a B&D blender before, this one does a much better job in mixing everything and crushing ice....

Pros:
1. Completely dishwasher safe.
2. No need to "lock" pitcher in place.
3. Nice capacity
Cons:
1. Limited number of speeds (but who realy uses 12 different speeds anyway)
