KitchenAid K400 Variable Speed Blender
The best-looking blender — KitchenAid design meets a powerful asymmetric blade and self-cleaning cycle.
Our Review
The KitchenAid K400 brings the brand's iconic design aesthetic to the countertop blender. Its asymmetric blade creates a vortex that pulls ingredients down for smoother results without a tamper, and the soft-start feature ramps up gradually to prevent splashing. The 56oz BPA-free pitcher, 5-speed control with pulse, and self-cleaning cycle make it practical, while the die-cast metal base and 10+ color options make it a kitchen centerpiece.
✅ What We Like

⚠️ Worth Noting
- $199 for a non-Vitamix blender
- Not as powerful as Vitamix or Ninja flagships
- 56oz pitcher is mid-range capacity
