This review is from: Krups KB790 Motor Tecnik Blender with Stainless Steel Blades, Die Cast (Kitchen)

Blender arrived and works excellent. Blender looks even nicer in person. I will buy from this vendor again. Has a nice feature where it starts slow and speeds up over a few seconds so that it does not splash. Automatically shuts itself off if it jams so it does not burn itself out. Professional appearance and good quality thick glass, very generous volume capacity.

I am replacing a Cuisinart CB600SA that we picked up at Costco about 10 years ago, I think, which I recently broke by dropping it.

This Krups is far, far quieter, more powerful, bigger capacity, locking lid, dishwasher safe, ingenious locking jar bottom (you must turn the pitcher up side down to remove the bottom).

I had considered those more expensive blenders that spin at over 200 mph (Vitamix and Blendtec), but the more I read, the more I wanted a blender that was designed to spin more slowly with thicker gauge windings, and much higher torque. I do not plan on turning whole vegetables into juice.

This is a well made blender that should last me 20 years easily (assuming I do not drop it).

It starts out slow every time and builts up speed (no more stuff spraying out of the blender if you forget to put the top on).

Best Die Cast Blender, You Should Get This Blender, November 9, 2011

This review is from: Krups KB790 Motor Tecnik Blender with Stainless Steel Blades, Die Cast (Kitchen)

My old Cuisinart CBT-1000 PowerEdge 1000-Watt Die-Cast Blender with 64-Ounce Jar died so needed a replacement. I was looking for a Die Cast Blender that can make smoothie for me and my husband every day. My husband loves super cold smoothie so we put ice in it. This Krups KB790 Blender has a better look, and it's very quiet. I am so glad I get Krups blender this time. It's highly recommended.
