KitchenAid / SPECIFICATION-BASED RESEARCH

K400 Variable Speed Blender

KitchenAid lists five variable speeds, preset settings for ice crush, icy drinks and smoothies, and Soft Start and Intelli-Speed motor controls.

Who it may suit

Consider it if you want a larger standard jar and a mix of preset and manual controls.

Worth checking

The personal and small-batch jars shown by KitchenAid are optional expansion packs. Confirm the jar included with the exact K400 listing.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Check the exact model before deciding.

Start with the manufacturer's current product information. Then compare the final price, delivery, warranty and returns with the retailer you choose.
