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.
Powerful with easy presets; container detection fails with attachments and some units show errors.
Most owners like it as a simple, powerful Vitamix with a long warranty and good smoothies, often bought as a Costco bundle.
