We got our KitchenAid blender as a wedding gift last year. It looks great and is really good quality. My favourite part (apart from the cool retro style) is the thick quality glass jug. Its easy to keep clean as you can undo the bottom and get in to clean the blades, but you can't actually take the whole thing apart which is slightly annoying. Its better than the cheap blenders i've had before though that your couldn't take apart even a little bit.

The problem i would say is that in recent months the conection between the jug and the base has become a little loose which is making it alot noisier than it used to be. I don't know if this is something i have done wrong, but i am a little dissapointed with this aspect as it is now very noisy.

However over all i am very happy with the product.
