Kuvings Vacuum Sealed Auto Blender SV500S with BPA-Free Components, Quiet Blender, Virtually No Foam, Heavy Duty 1700W Motor, Silver

We purchased this blender in 2018 and was not used very often, maybe 15-20 times since purchasing this blender and for not having it for quite 3 years, it has not worked for months now. We purchased the 4 year guarantee and still cannot figure out how to return and replace our blender.

This blender is extremely easy to clean, has the best results of all blenders I've tried and because it has vacuum, it produces the most nutrient rich smoothies possible. This thing is better than the blenders in commercial settings in regards to nutrients. I've yet to see a vacuum blender in a smoothie store. The quality of the smoothie is 10 times better than I've seen in standard blenders. It puts the smooth back in "smoothie". You get what you pay for and if your health is worth it, definitely consider this blender

It's been over six months since I purchased this blender, and here are some observations. It's my secondary blender, not used as heavily. Sometimes I use it once or twice a week, sometimes more often. Vacuum works well, and certain beverages and smoothies are definitely better without excessive foam at the end of the blend cycle. I usually consume them right away, but I can imagine that storage under vacuum would hopefully preserve contents better. Other than the vacuum feature, the blending power is on par with my old Blendtec. On occasion, blending twice may be necessary for an optimal consistency. I like the cover that is needed for vacuum blending as it makes the blender significantly more quite than any I've had in the past. The design is nice and modern, and it's a conspicuous appliance in the kitchen. It seems well crafted and has a nice, heavy base with simple controls that do everything you need. Not too many unnecessary fancy cycles, programs, options. It does everything it needs to with few buttons - blending with or without vacuum, auto, manual, pulse. The downside is that you need to be a lot more careful how you blend, and how much you put in the blender to avoid damaging the vacuum mechanism (warning labels are on the jar to remind you). You cannot stuff this blender to the top like a conventional blender. This, obviously, limits its capacity and if your blending for two or more people, the servings won't be large. If using the vacuum feature, it's difficult to make a second batch right away, since you have to clean the vacuum valve well before you can re-use the blender, then wipe it dry, or risk the damage to the vacuum mechanism. Due to extra care, using this blender can be a bit of a hassle compared to conventional blenders. Also, the price is steep and if I hadn't used some of my amazon points for this purchase, I'm not sure I'd be willing to spend that kind of money which could buy you some of the top models from well know brands such as Vitamix or Blendtec. Overall, this is a very good blender, without or with vacuum. I have two Blendtec blenders, and an old Kitchen-Aid, still going strong after many years. How Kuvings will do, only time will tell. IN SUMMARY: PROS: Strong motor, sturdy build, quality blending, vacuum feature, nice design, reasonably quiet with the cover. CONS: Price, capacity, delicate elements that require extra care.

Bought two of these blenders and they never work. I even paid $90 shipping to get it fixed and all they did is sent me a new blender container. ERRORS ERRORS ERRORS nonstop just always broken. Save your money and buy from a company that actually works.

I was a Vitamix user for 10 years but wanted to switch to a vacuum blender for the health benefits. After being used to the tremendous power of the Vitamix and its ability to take on multiple frozen Acai smoothie bags, frozen fruit, Chia seeds, etc. without barely a whimper, the Kuvings has been a huge disappointment. At best, when it blends without stopping halfway through, the smoothie is not smooth and there are chunks of seeds and cacao nibs still left. However, more often than not, it will stop after 10 seconds, which requires constant restarting until it is finally finished. There is no way to tamper as with the Vitamix, so you are at the mercy of its so-called AI algorithm if there is too much for it to handle. Note that if you just like to blend non-frozen fruits and vegetables, you should be fine. Taste is pretty good, once you actually get through the struggle of making your smoothie.
