KitchenAid ProLine Review

What the Reviewers Like:
The Pro Line has a one-piece design, which reduces leakage, and cord wrap.

What the Reviewers Don’t Like:
Owners say this blender makes quick work of ice -- a task many machines can't handle. The Pro Line’s blades aren’t removable, so you should clean this type of blender with a sponge attached to a long stick or a long-handled brush.

KitchenAid ProLine review highlights

Professional testers call the Pro Line an excellent all-around performer. Owners posting to Amazon.com agree, giving this blender near-perfect scores. They say that it looks great and works beautifully. Complaints tend to be minor and center on color choice (there is none) and size. Although it’s pricey, the Pro Line might be a good choice if price is no object, or if you need a blender for semi-professional use.

We read a single but highly credible review of this blender in Cook's Illustrated magazine. In addition, a handful of owners have posted their own reviews of this machine to Amazon.com, Cooking.com, and Epinions.com.
