Customer Reviews

Just the latest revision of the 600XL
See the reviews for the BBL600XL. The /A just indicates a slight revision to how the blade assembly is attached to the base. If you try to purchase a 600XL today, you are likely to get the /A version as I did when I purchased mine in Jan 2009. This is a powerful blender that makes short work of ice and other items that give cheaper blenders a rough time. It would probably be rated five stars by anyone with enough wrist strength to tighten the blade assembly to the base properly. You need to remove the blade assembly after every use for thorough cleaning and the torque required may be beyond that of anyone with less than average adult male strength.

buy vita mix instead
I purchased this on July 10, 2006 after my kitchenAid stopped working. I was really excitied about this blender, it crushed ice perfectly and the smoothies were excellent. But after less than 10 uses, the blender stopped working, no warning no nothing. I turned it on and it turned itself off. Spend the extra dollars and get a VitaMix.
