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.

Physical knob and switches alongside the presets; a few dislike the container detection.

Good value, with a narrow container for small batches; loud, and some struggled with thick blends.
