Is it worth the extra $50 to purchase the Kitchen Aiud immersion blender with the added 13" removable arm?

We haven't used it much but everything seems solid and well designed - we wanted the extra long arm for our big soup kettle.

In my opinion, yes. If you ever find yourself working in a deep stock pot it's indispensable. One of those attachments you don't use every day but when you need it, well you just plain need it.

I don't know! It'll depend on what you want to do with it. I think it's nice to have those different sizes and use them as you need when cooking. I sometimes use them both in one preparation with different blades. It really is up to you...

In my opinion, yes. It allows for an added level of versatility to an already exceptional appliance.

Yes. It does an excellent job. The Ultima has the vortex blade similar to the Vitamix blender.

Actually, the motor in this unit is more powerful than the Vitamix. I think only company that has more powerful motor is Blendtec. But you'll be shelling out at least $300 more. And this unit goes up to 24000 rpm which is same as Blendtec. Same speed... think...

Yes. There is another model just like it without the arms and cost about $20 less.

Both are very good mixers. The Cuisinart has a more powerful motor, but that is hardly an issue since the Kitchen Aid's motor is more than powerful enough. We returned our Cuisinart for the Kitchen Aid due to poor customer service. See my review here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R250HLS1S4GLDK/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B000ON4B3U

Yes, a smaller unit does that. But I haven't used it yet. If it's anything like the larger blender, it should be good!

Yes, I would say so. It is about the same as other blenders I have owned. You can discount my answer a bit in that I was not even aware that there were quiet blenders available.

I am not sure what the kitchen center is. I use it in an older style blender after the blade broke after years. I liked the extra blades on the fusion over the original one. I would believe as long as the original blade had the same center it should be fine.

Hi Mariya, tribest PB 350 is a good blender and the main part of it 7 inches

I am note aware of that model being sold with a glass bowl, if available it would probably be in the price range of $ 120 just for the bowl. I was about to list on Amazon a KF26M2XGAS, which is a lift bowl style, in the professional 600 575 watt,DESIGNER SERIES MIXER, Green Apple in color. However I have been slow to list it as Amazon does not have a sku number for it. This mixer which you gain 250 more watts, professional grade attachments, with the glass bowl will sale for the area of $ 475. Let me know if your interested in it? Thank you.

I have only had mine a couple of months and so far am very pleased with it. I also have the small Ninja chopper and have used it consistently for two years so I do think the blender should equal the performance of that and more.

I believe it's 2x faster than a regular blender, but might be comparing to its earlier models. As for being the same one as at Sams Club, you'd have to compare the contents of the package. Some Ninjas don't have all the sizes of the containers and different sized blades. Be sure you're comparing apples to apples for the price. My suspicion is that the SAMs club one probably has less container sizes for a lesser price. I would buy this product again in a heartbeat, I love it. And I use it several times a week, have had it for over a year and NEVER cut myself.

I used it for both, and it worked beautifully. I would say as good as any other hand blender I have used. The ease of processor or blender was a huge plus for us, but of course has the same suggestions for use and care as other similar tools. As long as I followed those guidelines, I had no trouble using it for anything I dreamed up in the kitchen.

I would just buy a higher end blender but not the bullet brands. I had to return two of them. The sharper image is inexpensive but if you are looking for the blade, not sure if its sold separately. I'm certain you already checked the web.

I think the European units are about $1000. If you need one for Europe, I would check out the Enpee Blender on youtube. It looks to me like a VM knock off from India at half the price. There are at least 60 reviews on Amazon UK and people love it. You can't buy it in the USA but who would want to when the VM costs the same here. I think they only make it is the European voltage anyway.

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

Whoops, sorry, I didn't read the website closely enough, this is what it said:"All parts are obsolete - No substitutions are available." So sorry. Maybe bestto just invest in a good blender. :P
