help KitchenAid K400 Variable Speed Blender FAQ
What blending programs does the KitchenAid K400 have?
The K400 has a five-speed variable control and three named programs: Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie. That gives you manual texture control as well as one-touch settings for common frozen and blended drinks.
What is the K400 tamper for?
The included tamper helps move thick ingredients toward the blades while the blender is running. It is especially useful for dense mixtures such as nut butter or frozen fruit that may form an air pocket under the blade.
Can the KitchenAid K400 make soup and purees?
Yes, its variable-speed control is suited to purees and blended soups, provided the ingredients are prepared according to the manual’s hot-liquid precautions. The K400 is a countertop blender, not a heating appliance, so blending does not cook the soup.
How does the K400 differ from a Vitamix blender?
The K400 uses a five-speed dial and three presets, while Vitamix models vary widely by series and often emphasize longer manual speed ranges or preset programs. The practical comparison is the exact Vitamix model, jar size, warranty, and price rather than the brand name alone.
