Kitchenaid 5 spd 56 oz blender
we have had this blender about a month now, and my wife absolutely loves it. We have had smoothies every morning since we have received it. It has plenty of power, and a large capacity. It recently has been buzzing when operating at a high speed and I found that the blade had become loose. I just tightened it with a wrench and it is quiet again. Another great kitchenaid product.
BPA and PVC
If you are concerned about BPA (bisphenol-A), a chemical recently ordered removed from baby bottles and other products, and linked to hormone disruption and other health problems, don't buy the polycarbonate jar. It contains BPA and we know that BPA leaches into hot or acidic foods, and also the plastic breaks down under heat (eg. when being washed) to release more BPA.
If you are concerned about PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a plastic that is toxic and also shouldn't be used for food preparation, steer clear of the lid on this blender. Apparently all Kitchenaid blender lids are made of it, and it says so right on the lid.
If you are NOT concerned about these things, you'd better get yourself over to two websites that I, as a new mom and concerned consumer, have found invaluable. The first is from the Environmental Working Group, a bunch of scientists who research safety of consumer products at [...]. The second one is very explanatory and perhaps better for the layperson, and geared towards families. It's called [...]
Please buy consciously! Both of these chemicals build up in your system...your body doesn't eliminate them, and they get transmitted to the next generation through breast milk.
Hope this was helpful.
Great Blender!
My old blender was fine-or so I thought-but I wanted one that could hold more. This KitchenAid blows my last blender out of the water! It blends, chops, purees, liquefies, and mixes in a blink of an eye! I am very happy with my purchase-thanks Amazon!
