Pros: Works well, Various speeds, Durable, Easy to use and clean, Compact size
Cons: Plastic jar, One-piece construction

The Intelli-Speed control ensures that there's no loss in power while blending and it also has a chop ice and pulse mode features for crushing ice and achieving your desired consistency. The jar is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning and shatter-resistant to prevent breaking. Users can have mixed feelings about the 48 oz. polycarbonate jar on the KSB465, though. Some people think that it is a good replacement to heavy glass jars that higher-priced blenders have since it is more lightweight while others want the quality feel that the glass jars provide. Same goes with the one-piece construction. It is good that you won't have to take it apart but it can also be hard to clean at times when some food items get stuck on the blade itself. Due to the die-cast metal base, the blender seems durable and well-built. The Clean Touch control pad is easy to use and is likewise easy to clean. The KitchenAid KSB465 is also nice to look at. It is a great option to consider if you're the type who wants to do things in style. The attractive exterior matched with the three color options (empire red, onyx black and white) proves that the design process was not at all rushed. Performance- and quality-wise, it is an excellent all-rounder and a real timesaver, rather than a mere blender. It can help you liquefy ingredients and make soups, sauces and batters, in addition to mixing and creating delicious fruit shakes and other frozen beverages.
