From the Manufacturer
 | The new Krups KB720 blender allows you to perform an array of kitchen tasks at a very high level. Its Motor Technik design is unique and lets the motor remain at a constant speed whatever the load. Krups Motor Technik also means controlled rpm's, which means much less noise. This large, durable, stable 60-ounce blender has five speeds and ice-crushing and pulse functions to cover any situation that needs blending. Its touchpad control panel is illuminated, intuitive, and easy to see and use, and its graphite grey and brushed stainless steel coloring goes well on any kitchen counter. To get you started, the blender comes with a full-color recipe book with more than 50 recipes. |
More "Controlled Usable" Power
 | The Krups Motor Technik is a unique electronic motor control system that provides constant power and speed whatever the load, ensuring consistent, professional results and allowing intensive heavy-duty use. Unloaded, most kitchen machines have high rotation speed. When a blender is loaded with ingredients, this rpm level drops dramatically, decreasing the rotation speed and affecting performance and results. Thanks to the Krups Motor Technik, the motor remains at a consistent speed whatever the load, ensuring perfect results and allowing intensive heavy-duty use. And its 1,000 watts make it one of the most powerful blenders on the market. |
 | But this consistent speed doesn’t mean you have to endure excessive noise. The KB720 stays very quiet, thanks to Motor Technik, which also controls the rpm's, creating less noise. Actually, most blenders are more than twice as loud as the KB720. There are many other features that make this blender stand out from the crowd, including an easily removable cap with 1- and 2-ounce measure marks, a bi-injected waterproof locking lid for clean preparation, and a high-quality, heavy-duty, thermal-shock-resistant glass jar made of borosilicate glass. It also boasts detachable blades for easier, thorough cleaning, and a heavy-duty die-cast metal base for stability and durability. |

Best (& Quietest) Blender I've Owned,
By MotoGPTech (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KRUPS KB720 5-Speed Blender, 60 oz Glass Jar (Kitchen)
Just finished my first blend - was a bit worried after reading all of the negative reviews concerning about whether this unit can adequately blend frozen fruit. First impression - very nice. Smoothie with frozen strawberries (+ almond milk & protein powder) was well blended. Unit did turn itself off, either from an (unseen) auto timer or the heat sensor issues raised in other reviews, but my smoothie was finished anyway. Very quiet blending - a huge plus as my cheapo blenders used to make me plug my ears and I'm sure woke the neighbors (apartment neighbors), as loud as jackhammers. So far so good, very pleased.UPDATE: Many smoothies later - it occurs to me that those complaining about the lack of a "vortex" action, or incomplete blending, probably aren't following the blender directions. You must start the blender on its lowest setting first, then once the material has been broken down, you can move it up the speed list. If you make it go too fast too soon, there is no vortex action. My smoothies are chock full of frozen stuff and this blender handles it well (if I follow the unit's directions). Wonderful to be in the same room with an operating blender and not worry about hearing loss... HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! *UPDATE - 3 MONTHS LATER* 2 Blends a day, this blender handles it all, does a great job, still very quiet, I'm buying an extra for the office soon.

This review is from: KRUPS KB720 5-Speed Blender, 60 oz Glass Jar (Kitchen)
Given the name and great reviews, I had really high hopes for this blender. It is a solid blender, but it just did not blend solid food. At 1,000 watts it should have had the power to do what I needed it to do, which was to blend my frozen fruits into my daily smoothie. I use various frozen fruits depending on the flavor, as well as soy milk and yogurt (that I partially freeze as well to gain a certain consistency) and some dry ingredients, such as sugar and protein powder. My old blender, the L' Equip 228 R.P.M Blender, only had 900 watts and it handled the blending extremely well, but the shoddy construction of the L'Equip blender meant fishing out little bits of aluminum shards from my smoothie, which is what sent me looking for a replacement blender in the first place.Right out of the box, it seemed solid, if enormous. This blender will hold about 33% to 50% more than your average blender, without really taking up more space, and I can see how that can be a benefit for someone who needs it. That black band between the silver and glass is part of the jar/blade assembly, it envelops the base and sits solidly on it, and this probably enhances stability. The parts seemed well made and durable. I like a glass jar better than polycarbonate because it will not scratch up, and the whole thing assembles for use and disassembles for cleaning very easily. I really liked the lid construction, because instead of being super tight it has tabs that you slide into position underneath a lip on the jar that keep it in place while blending, and you can still remove the cap to add things while blending. It has no stir stick, but I never really used that on my last blender anyway because I wasn't blending enough ingredients for the stick to be very useful. So far so good, I like the parts and the construction, but the true test is in the actual blending, right? Since I use both frozen and partly frozen ingredients, for best results I always add the more liquid ingredients first and the frozen fruit last. Any other blender I've ever used before has had a vortex that sucked the ingredients down toward the blades, and how well they blended frozen foods was dependent on how much wattage power they had. Not so this blender. The first time I tried it I used my usual mix of frozen and semi-frozen ingredients and wound up with chewable fruit. To test it out further, the next day I did not partly freeze the yogurt or soy milk and defrosted the fruit first, and it actually would not even blend the fruit that day, instead the fruit just floated on top and spun in circles. I tried the various speeds and pulses, still no real blending action. It was quiet and I did not smell any peculiar odors like another reviewer mentioned, but it did not blend, and any benefit to the machine being quiet was drowned out by me yelling "get off your fat butt and work you big dumb blender!!!!" at it while it was running. Any neighbors who heard me are no doubt hoping my medical coverage includes mental illness right about now. And really, what's the point of a blender with so much power that ramps up slowly and can't blend anyway? Going 0 to 60 in 5 minutes or more in order to maintain peace and quiet doesn't impress me when you still cannot blend your food. It's like giving a Porsche to a little old lady to drive to the grocery store 2 miles away at 30 mph each week. Needless to say, I boxed it up and sent it back. It did not blend my food, it stirred it, and I already have a spoon that does that.

Great blender. Quiet and easy to clean.,
By Beach guy (Redondo Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KRUPS KB720 5-Speed Blender, 60 oz Glass Jar (Kitchen)
This is a really well designed blender worth the extra for serious users. The 60 oz capacity is great. It comes with a glass not plastic jug. As noted, it's unusually easy to disassemble and clean. No effort needed to unscrew it. The speeds are well chosen (a pulse option and an ice option, plus 4 speeds, not counting "slow."). Very quiet, especially at speed 1 (low) which is all you need to remix a smoothie you set aside in the fridge. Another great feature is that it has protection against vibration "creep" (which causes so many blenders to unscrew from the base while they run).On the other hand, it smells like burning oil on top speed and a heat sensor often causes it to turn itself off (it resets in a minute or so). Another negative is the bad pour "spout." Inevitably it drools down the side of the blender when you pour. Finally, the top latches (locks) on, which is totally unnecessary and makes the top harder to clean (extra nooks and crannies on the cover because of the screw on design).
