Final Analysis
The KitchenAid KSB560MC 5-Speed Blender is truly an impressive unit. The quality of the materials and the overall construction is unbelievable. It is so sturdy that you’ll know right away that the blender will stand up to the toughest tasks.
The motor itself is powerful and makes fast work of blending frozen fruits and more yet is quiet enough so as not to cause too much disturbance in the kitchen.
The container is a one piece container with the blades attached so there is no need to take the blender apart for cleaning, a huge convenience when time is limited.

This blender really holds a lot. A total of 56 ounces is a lot of capacity. The .9 horsepower motor is strong enough to power through most anything. So far I’ve owned this for three months now without a hitch. I can put the jar and the blade in the dishwasher and it comes out clean every time. The included 5 speeds give me enough variation to create the perfect consistency for soups every time.
And if this thing goes bad while I own it, it comes with a 1 year replace it for free warranty. I’ve made a total of 300 “smoothies” without any problems whatsoever. This is by far the best replacement blender that I’ve ever bought. And for only 100 bucks there really isn’t a better alternative out there. You get a great deal with this machine. I have already recommended it to family and friends to save them a boat load over the more expensive models.

When I got injured in a car wreck and ended up injuring my jaw, I needed a way to consume foods that didn’t require a lot of chewing. So I bought this blender and here is my experience with it. This blender is comparable to the much more expensive Vita-Mix models that you see so much on the Internet and in stores. I use my blender three times each day: Once for breakfast, once for lunch, and once for dinner.
So far I’ve put berries, hard nuts, and pretty much everything else you can think of into it. It does a fantastic job of liquefying or chopping anything you throw at it. It’s also really easy to clean and doesn’t have too many parts. There is only two parts to the unit actually. The jar and the stainless steel blades. Both come clean really easy with some soap and water.
