The KitchenAid Diamond Blender is for those who like their sauces and soups smooth and their smoothies even silkier. A more mature version of the loveably retro Artisan Blender, the Diamond offers greater capacity and a host of handy functions that enable it to tackle almost any food that's popped...

Can blend hot foods and crush ice; Tight-fitting lid; Dedicated function buttons with tailored programmes

Noisy on top speed; No recipe book supplied; Taller than most

The blender stopped working after two months. The instructions promise much more than the blender is able to deliver. By all means it can blend a smoothie or a (hot) soup, but that's about it. Too expensive for what it is.

Its a strong blender that is easy to use, effective and simple to clean.

Excellent blender, really strong, great range of modes. I've had lots of blenders and this one is by far the best. Well worth the extra cost.

A great machine, well worth the money (up to other over priced machines) I make smoothies using frozen fruit and it works a dream, pureed soup to a lovely creamy texture - would recommend this product

The Stylish and sleek new Kitchen Aid diamond blender provides excellent performance and looks great in the kitchen. This powerful blender has four button presets. Chop, mix, purée and liquefy.
