 Review | Blender KitchenAid Diamond 5KSB1585

The Blender KitchenAid Diamond 5KSB1585 blends perfectly into the universe of the brand with its sober design and elegant, as well as with your cast metal base. Compact But heavy (4.3 kg), it promises solidity and performance with her power of 615 W.

The getting started with the device is simple and effective. We find :

  • A cast metal base with the control buttons of the device,

  • A 1.75 L work bowl with a handle and 4 integrated blades,

  • A lid with a opening on top,

  • A power cord electric.

This blender-mixer is available in 6 colors : empire red (which we tested), black, red apple of love, cream, silver grey and velvet blue. These colors are found for the other small appliances of the KitchenAid brand. That's all brand strength, being able to match all your appliances rather than having mismatched devices.

The 1.75 L large container, in diamond shape, is made of graduated plastic, solid but light. He owns 4 integrated blades stainless steel, and a non-slip handle to grab and handle it easily. It is closed with a flexible cover which is fixed and locked with a twist of the hand, as well as a opening on top, allowingadd ingredients In preparation. Note that it is also guaranteed BPA free ((bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor considered toxic).

The control panel is self-contained in molded plastic, very pleasant to the touch. On the control side, the KitchenAid blender offers 4 speed, 2 programs, a pulse function and one on / off button. From left to right, represented by pictograms, we find:

  • In the first row: the program " Hot food ", and the 4 speed " Cut "," Mix "," Mixer "And" Liquefy ",

  • In the second row: the program " Crushed ice ", the pulse function, and the on / off button.

With the program " Hot food ", the rotation speed gradually increases thanks to the Intelli-Vitesse system, to avoid splashes and overflows, while the “ crushed ice »Gives short pulses at maximum speed. The 4 speed each correspond to a different power, and the more we go to the right, the more important it is.

And finally, we find under the camera non-slip feet ((very practical because the device does not move when running) and one cord organizer not very practical.

The functions of the KitchenAid Diamond 5KSB1585 blender

The KitchenAid Diamond 5KSB1585, with its 4 speed and your 2 programs, allows you to perform a large number of actions. We can just as well cut, chop, mixer, liquefy food quickly and effortlessly, whether mixing or mashing them.

The KitchenAid blender also has the Intelli-Speed ​​function which allowsgradually increase the speed of rotation blades, to find the optimal speed according to its content. The reduced start-up speed pushes the ingredients towards the blades, and increases until the perfect result. This allows to mix as best as possible preparation, whatever the ingredients, without getting stuck in the blades.

The mix quality of the Diamond 5KSB1585 is perfect. The blender passed all our tests hands down: soup, pesto sauce, mincing meat, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, smoothie, and the dreaded praline. The praline is for us one of the tests that shows the most resistance and the power the motor of a robot, because it requires an intensive and long mixing to successfully change almonds, or hazelnuts, from solid to cream. A robot whose engine is not powerful enough, or resistant, will not survive this Review and will be quickly drowned. To avoid too much engine overheating when performing this kind of action, we advise you to do regularly take a break of a minute or two, in the mixing of nuts, to allow it to rest. You will avoid breakdown or wear too quickly.

We have had many feedback on the noise emitted by the blender. For our part, we were not bothered by it, except perhaps at the end of the "Hot Food" program, but the results of the device being undeniable, we consider that it is a lesser evil.

 Interview of the KitchenAid Diamond 5KSB1585 blender

As the blades do not come off the container, the cleaning the Diamond 5KSB1585 may seem more complicated and dangerous than other fully removable blenders. However, there are two ways to wash it safe and easy:

  • The first is to put the container in the dishwasher in plastic and the lid.

  • The second is to fill with hot water the container and add to it a little washing up liquid, and launch the blender on “Mix” speed, with a little “Pulse” if necessary. Then there’s onlyto rinse and to put to dry. This option even works when the container is greasy. We tested it after making a pesto, and the container came out clean, with no trace of grease. It may happen that the cover is still dirty after this manipulation, but it is sufficient to wash it by hand with a sponge. We recommend that you do this for keep the plastic bowl in better condition longer (prevent the plastic in the bowl from whitening).
