Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 344-11 Power XL6 Touchpad Blender, White
Customer Review: My Krups Power XL6 is my new best friend and favourite toy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I received it as a surprise gift this past holiday season, and I am completely impressed. My Krups XL6 Combi blender came with a food processor attachment, making it even more versatile. The real reason I wanted a blender was for ice crushing and smoothie making, and after reading scores of negative reviews for other blenders regarding broken blades and fried motors after ice crushing, I was a little nervous to try it out. For the trial run I put in seven large ice cubes, put the lid on, and cautiously pushed the ice crusher button. This thing has the power of a jackhammer disguised as a blender! My ice was a perfect slushy consistency in seconds, with no large chunks of ice stuck under the blades (I've had that happen more than once). Two other nice features are that there is a removable measuring cup in the blender lid, which makes it handy for mixing alcoholic beverages (I've tried both daiquiris and piña coladas and both turned out superbly with minimum fuss and cleanup), and that the blender jar holds over a liter and half (50 oz.). There are 14 speeds, although I'm still in love with ice crushing for the moment, and the instruction manual covers chopping nuts, herbs, cheeses, instructions for milkshakes, purées, guacamole and more. The only downside was that the blade assembly with seal is made from plastic, and I couldn't remove it for fear of breaking it, so I wash it and dry it still in-jar. And the cord is a little on the short side. But these are only minor gripes, and overall I'm extremely pleased.
Description of Krups 344-11 Power XL6 Touchpad Blender, White
This blender won't leave you with an annoying pitcherful of chunks and slush thanks to its unique 6 blade design, which mixes and blends thoroughly to give you uniform results. We all know that ice crushing power is the true test of any blender motor, and this one comes through with flying colors - you don't even need to add water. So go on, mix up a smoothie, some salsa, a margarita, or whatever you are craving.Blend ice slushies, puree cream-based soups, or whip up a delicious viniagrette dressing in Krups? Power XL6 blender. This machine uniquely uses six blades, which, combined with its powerful motor, blends ingredients more uniformly. In addition, the XL6 offers 14 different blending speeds on an easy-to-set adjustable dial, giving you better control over the proper blending speed for your ingredients. Like many food processors, this blender also has a Vari Pulse button, allowing you to blend in spurts and avoid overprocessing. Another special button crushes ice in just seconds for making great frozen juice drinks and cocktails. The blender?s large calibrated glass jar holds up to 50 ounces of food--enough to make huge quantities of soup or sauce without having to puree in batches--and a 3-ounce measuring cup hidden in the lid assists in measuring out ingredients. The locking watertight lid ensures that food won?t escape out the top during vigorous blending and a pouring spout eliminates dripping. The glass jar and blade assembly on the XL6 are dishwasher-safe and the entire unit is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
