In short

Reliability is the story with the KitchenAid K400 Blender: most owners report the jar leaking from the base, a failing bearing, grease or rusty residue, and a growing noise, often within a year or two.

Owners are split: many find it handy for single smoothies, sauces, dressings and grinding, easy to use and clean.

Powerful with easy presets; container detection fails with attachments and some units show errors.
