Caught Fire After A Handful of Uses 🔥
on March 6, 2026
Posted by: Susie
from Pittsboro, North Carolina
So my blender, that I’ve used no more than 10 times since I’ve purchased it, couldn’t handle a simple smoothie mix. It started to smoke out of nowhere while blending and freaked me out. I turned it off and pulled the plug. It kept smoking, so I asked my husband to take it outside in case it had some sort of fire inside. It left the whole house smelling pleasantly like an electrical fire.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for myself as a birthday gift and I am so glad I did. A few months ago I accidentally mis-set the pitcher and it ruined the seal I contacted Kitchen-aid to purchase a replacement and was told I was still under warranty, however the pitcher was on back order. Fast forward 8 weeks and still no pitcher, I contacted Kitchen-aid again and instead of more waiting my entire blender was replaced! Amazing customer service!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being using my kitchen Aid blender over a month now. Very easy to use!! Looks great on my counter top. Love the smoothie blending options. My smoothie comes out just the way I like it! One of my great buys.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this blender! It’s easy to use and is so quiet! Much better than our previous one of a different brand. Kitchen Aid is the best brand for blender!
I bought mine a year ago and I love it cause it makes amazing smoothies but it started to get rusty on the bottom even though I keep it clean and dry and also sometimes it gets black stains from the rubber what can I do?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After only a few months of use it leaks and makes horrible noise. Waste of money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had ti return our first blender because the dial no longer worked, we just received our new one, it is definitely louder than original and the motor smells when it is running. It is not up to the old Ktchen Aid appliance standards.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After less than a year I am searching for replacement parts. We use the blender exclusively for fruit and veggie smoothies, 3-4 days a week. The base is powerful but the plastic carafe consistently leaks into the base and we find little bits of plastic on the counter after using it. Considering what we spent I am very disappointed—the cheaper brand I used before this one lasted much longer. At this point I’m debating whether to keep buying parts to fix it or just give up and go with another brand. I expected more from Kitchenaid, I’ve had my stand mixer for ten years and no problems.
