Many don't quite seem to do all that you might think a blender should do. A blender is supposed to do alot more than make milkshakes and smoothies. Mixing crepe batter, pureeing soups and crushing ice are easy with this high-performance blender. To make fast work of big jobs, it operates at five speeds (plus it has a pulse function) and is equipped with an oversized stainless-steel mixing blade. The heat-resistant unique pitcher (with graduated measurements on the side) allows you to blend hot or cold ingredients, and the contours make pouring easy than ever. It's a blender for every kitchen. With its luxury nickel finish, the KirchenAid KSB580NK is a blender to complement your kitchen and your food preparation.

I was tempted to give it 4 stars as it is not the best blender I have ever owned. That distinction goes to the Vita-Mix which has a nuclear reactor for a base, sounds like a Harley and cost as much as a microwave but if you need a blender that can crush anything and make flour and HOT soup....well....but back to the KitchenAid. First it looks great. As a home chef, having a sleek modern looking kitchen is important. Second it is easy to clean... I will never own a push button (i.e. old Oster-type) blender again. Nor one with a multi piece jar. One leak can and has ruined an evening or party, as you run to grab paper towel and dish clothes to control the margarita or soup that is running across your counter and down your cabinets. Then the fun of cleaning your blender nooks begin....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Now the really impressive part. I have owned a Waring for years. Everyone always raves about it and if you have a thin liquid, it works great. But for crushing ice and making smoothies, it just flat out sucks. So I sought out an ice crushing (margaritas), sealed jar (gravies/soups), lightweight, large capacity (parties), easy touch (easy to clean), piece of art. The KitchenAid is all those things and has a logic built in that controls the blade speed. It knows how well it is crushing the ice and modulates the motor to ensure an even snow like texture that is incredible. The same system is also built into the other modes, measuring resistance to step the motor up, then back it down to ensure smooth results. This is my first KitchenAid product, but it will not be my last. BRAVO
