Wow! I’ll love it!
Love that it slides in and out like a coffee maker and fits under your cabinets.
We are always looking for ways to make life easier.

The idea of preset options sounds awesome!
I love the feature that senses when the drink is done and shuts itself off. The fact that it is also the size and shape of a coffeemaker is pretty awesome, too!
This blender is sleek looking and just what I need in my kitchen!
I love that it stops itself so I can walk away! And the power…my current blender needs a lot of encouragement 🙂
This is so sleek! I have a blender but it isn’t powerful enough for all I want it to do. Winning this would be wonderful.
Wow – what a beautiful creation! I love my KitchenAid 600 pro stand mixer! I’m sure this blender is amazing!
Totally curious to try out the juice feature
This would make mornings so much easier! Just drop in my ingredients and finish getting ready. I would love to have this in my kitchen.
It looks like it has the power that I need behind it. I could make my famous lemongrass marinade with this, which most blenders choke on. I also love soup that is passed through a blender. It makes for a smoother, silkier soup.
the preset. imagine setting and forgetting about it.
Oh, how I would love to win this beauty. Another wonderful tool from KitchenAid.

Having burned my way through several small blenders trying to make smoothies and smoothie bowls (and frozen cocktails 😉 ), I am most excited about the strength and power of this blender. I think this might be the answer to my troubles because it sounds like it could handle thicker blends!

My fave feature is the present options.

I love the shape of it and that it makes juice too.
Honestly, it’s really hard to choose, but I love the top cap the most since I can easily place in add-ins, and measure how many (or much) add ins I want.
it looks like state of the art design and would make my daily smoothie making and so many other dishes a breeze for sure!
I love everything about this blender! Great design and it’ll fit under my cabinets, unlike another brand.

Magnetic drive!
I am excited about the juicing feature. No need for two separate appliances!!
The op cap that can be easily removed to measure
I love the style and design of the blender. And what a great concept using magnetic technology instead of the blades having to attach into the motor.
Given the fiasco with trying to deal with ice cubes in my old garage sale acquired “blender” I’m in real need of this:-)
The preset options sound cool!
I like the preset options! It would be nice to push a button, walk away and have it blend for just the amount of time needed instead of standing there and waiting!

And the fact that it is multipurpose and can be used to make juices, smoothies, and soup!!! Also, the pre-settings are amazing! Love that it will stop when it is ready.

the presets for a blender, who knew. love that
Holy moly, this thing would totally make my kid’s day!
One look at my blog will tell you that I am sorely lacking in the ‘smoothie’ and blended drinks department…that’s because I have a really crappy blender! I would LOVE to update the drinks component of my blog and it would be a lot easier with a blender I can depend on.

Gee, I would really like something Candy Apple Red on my counter. So, I guess the colour is my favourite feature.

I like how it can slide out – my kitchen is small, I need things that can sit under the cabinets.
Would love to win this! I think it’s time to upgrade my old blender!
I’ve been thinking about buying a blender ever since I had the silkiest parsnip purée at Kathy Jollimore’s house. Veg purées, soups, smoothies – so many photography and blog post possibilities! I own so many Kitchen Aid pieces, would love to add this to the fold. It’s beautiful.
Love our Kitchen Aid appliances! They are the most used, tried & true items in our kitchen!
