Likes the K400 a lot, very powerful, but after about a year it started leaking brown fluid at the bottom. Support replaced it without hassle.

Loves the K400, but the blade is getting loose, it no longer blends properly and is noisy; cannot find a spare blade, only the whole bowl.
K400 leaked out of the box but re-seating the rubber ring between the plastic base and the glass jar stopped it, even after making smoothies.
New K400 jug started leaking on first use; RMA brought a new jug that did not leak.

What does the signal score of 24 mean?
It's how well reviewed KitchenAid K400 Blender is, out of 100, next to the other blenders here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed appliance (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a appliance few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
