Very powerful

My family loves drinking smoothies daily, making homemade sauces, and chopping up ingredients for salsa. A good powerful blender is a great kitchen tool to have. KitchenAid is a very well known brand, and I believe they are one of my top go to kitchen gadget company.
This High Performance Series Blender is great. Since getting this blender I've used it many times. Each time it's easily blended all of my ingredients and didn't require much time to blend them.
The blender was well packaged in its box. Easy to take out and set up. It came with the instructions and with a recipe book. The recipe book provides many simple to make drinks, sauces, and dips. Love when companies include these booklets. The instructions about the blender are simple and easy to follow. I was able to wash everything easily before my first use of the product. I hand wash, but did read that all parts ( except the base ) are dishwasher safe. The actual base is very hefty. The weight I'm sure is because of how strong the motor is. The weight isn't a huge problem for me, but I'm sure those with wrist problems might not be able to constantly move this blender around.
The blender jar is a good thick plastic. The measurements are easy to read on the side, and make it simple to just add your ingredients in. The top of the jar pops on and off easily, and stays on securely during the blending process. The top also comes with a built in measuring cup. I'm not sure how often I'll use it, but I'm sure it might come in handy. Along with the blender jar, the machine comes with a blending stick. Used for moving the ingredients around while blending. This is a very handy tool, making it so I don't have to constantly turn the machine off and scrape/mix the ingredients around. One thing I'm unsure about is how the blender jar sits into the base. At first it seems secure enough, but while blending it somewhat wobbles around, and I have to gently hold it still. It's only on the higher speeds though.
The controls are super simple and easy to use. The main on/off switch on the back was a good idea, and will make it difficult for my kids to accidentally turn on the machine. I unfortunately can't keep the blender on my counter, it's just to tall and doesn't fit under my cabinets. If I don't put the blender jar on then it fits perfect. Cleaning the jar is fast, and easy. As mentioned before, I hand wash. So what ever doesn't come clean after quickly blending water/soap through it, I can easy take a rag and clean around the blades. Overall this is a very powerful blender, easy to use, and blends everything wonderfully, but it is heavy, and the jar has to be held at higher speeds. Besides those few negatives, I'm very impressed with this product, and can't wait to try out more recipes with it.
