Does this have the new and improved pitcher? I read that KitchenAid had a serious problem with the older ones cracking.

Yes. It is the new improved model that doesn't have the leakage issue. I believe those ones that did have leakage problems were made around two years ago. Mine is almost a year old now and it still works fine.

Dianne, I'm not really sure what was "new and improved". I've been using this for several years and I can't rave enough about how well this works. I have well water and it keeps the bowl clean and no damage to the inner workings including any of the seals. Hope this helps.

It comes in a new box. I don't know if it is an original box. What I do know is that the mixer was beautiful when it came out of the box, all of the appropriate warranty info and manuals were present, and the mixer looks and works like it is brand new. It is an incredible value over purchasing a new one. Refurbished KitchenAid are the way to go to save over $100 compared to the price of a new one. Don't hesitate to purchase a refurbished model.

I use my unit mainly for bread dough and there is no way to get it completely clean no matter how quickly I wash it. The manual tells you to move the gasket up and down but it's not really helpful. There is flour residue in the handle as well.The older models were better as they had no gasket or small crevices to clean.It's a design flaw in my opinion. Otherwise, it works well, but I would not buy another one. It's probably go with a Kitchenaid.

Sorry, I don't know about "new & improved." I have the manual model pictured (it's not digital) & it works great for my needs, fruits & vegies. I bought it in 6/2012 & fixed door rattle by using 2 alligator hair clips at the bottom of the door to secure door to frame, rattling stopped. The racks in dehydrator are also a great out of the way place to put cookies to cool & icing to dry. Sorry I couldn't answer your model # question. This is a wonderful product & works so much better than the rotating tower models. Good luck.

To be honest with you I don't know. The pitcher is pretty thick plastic & sturdy. Maybe try it with a little water. But, that's up to you. Good luck!

Try tightening with wrench first. If it happens again and your pitcher still in perfect shape just buy a new blades part and keep the same pitcher. You will save, a lot of money this way and no sense replacing pitcher if there is no issue with it.

I can speak to what is being sold now, but when I purchased this mug from this vendor it did not have the new easy clean lid, I'm not even sure that flip out lid had even come out yet. I just googled what the easy clean lid is because I wasn't even sure, and that's definitely not the lid I have. You may want to directly contact Amazon or this vendor (if they are different) and specifically ask that question as to whether they are now selling the new model lid.

I'm not familiar with that model, sorry. Try going to the kitchenaid website and send them an email. They were pretty good at responding.

The reviews I read said that there are no replacement parts/attachments available from Kitchenaid for the Costco model. It was a special arrangement between the companies, so the Costco one is not like the rest of the product line. This caused me to purchase mine from Bed, Bath and Beyond rather than Costco. The price was within $10.

it doesnt. You might be more lucky. Seller offered to replace it, but I bought it with one click for convenience.. not so I could repackage it and take it to a post office etc.. its not worth it.. what the seller isnt saying is that they are making beakers into measuring cups by modifying them with a torch and adding a handle.. its not made as a pitcher in a factory.

If you really just bought it last summer then contact KitchenAid----They stand behind their products. Also---The handle is just a push-on so they may just send you a new handle.

I wrote to them when mine cracked on the "seam" made during manufacturing.. right dead center of the spout and they sent me a new one right away. If that is where yours is cracked they will replace it for free. If it is not due to manufacture defect, then yes, you can purchase just the pitcher. Be sure you choose the right model, don't go by appearances. Use the model number of the machine to find the right pitcher. Best of luck.

I don't think that is a problem, but to be sure, you can look at the owners manual online before purchase. Or you can go to Kitchenaid.com and ask them. They are very friendly and helpful. I hope it works out for you as this is a very nice blender.
