KitchenAid K150 3 Speed Ice Crushing Blender, Charcoal Grey, KSB1325

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this blender in Nov 2025 but I only just took it out of the box one month later. I own a KitchenAid ice shaver attachment which has worked great but I liked the idea of pending large amounts of ice without preparing them in special bowls. This blender was very surprising because it really does crush and blend ice really REALLY well. I used level 1 and it crushed the ice so nicely it was perfect for snow cones. It was almost shaved iced but it was blended. I'm still trying to figure out how that happened ! But shaved ice is exactly what I wanted. As you increase in speed the ice gets finer until we had frappes and slushies. Plus this machine is SUPER QUIET. Omg. I couldn't believe it. I actually thought it wasn't working because it is almost silent.!!!! This is perfect for us because now I don't have to take out my mixer to use the attachment, nor do I have to prepare ice pucks. I highly recommend this blender. One comment U have is the manual that came without indicated that the blender came with a tamper but it's actually not the case for this blender. The better models have the tamper. Although I can get a tamper elsewhere, I feel that the manual was not accurate and should be amended.
