CONS

KitchenAid KSB4031CU K400
Vitamix E320 Explorian Blender
Yes

• It makes having a conversation a challenge because it is considered to be extremely loud. • It does not have rubber feet under the base so it keeps moving around during the blending process. • The entire unit is very large. The base alone is heavy and stands fairly high. • The blades cannot be removed...at least not very easily.

Yes

• This is uncommon, but food bits can get in between the switches • Louder than most Vitamix blenders • If you get the personal cup attachment, there’s an extra adapter you’d need (a cup within a cup). It may use up more space than necessary.
