I purchased this blender in the Aqua Sky Blue (turquoise) color a few weeks ago. I had immediate buyers remorse - why did I just spend $150 on a blender, when I haven't used the one at my house for a year and a half? BUT it was totally worth the money. We have probably used it 20 times since we received it.
As far as how it works - I am very picky when it comes to blending ice - I do not like any ice chunks, which is the main reason I had stopped using our old blender (an Oster). I read a lot of reviews of this product (both on Amazon and on the web) the general consensus was it blends ice very well. And it does - smoothies, daiquiris, margaritas, all come out super smooth....Smoothie King smooth. I also used it to crush graham crackers to a flour-like consistency for a recipe, and used it to puree a butter-egg mixture for baking. I know that some people have complained about the plastic pitcher but I don't mind it at all. Its a lot lighter and don't have to worry as much if you slam it in to the sink or something.
Cleaning is easy, you can throw it in the dishwasher. I would caution washing it by hand because you can't remove the blades at the bottom, so there is risk of getting cut. But usually a good rinse does the trick.
The aestheics probably shouldn't be important, but I think if you going to buy something, it might as well be cute. I loved all the color choices - it was a hard decision to make, but I love the color I picked, and it matches what was shown on the website.
While I've never used a fancier blender such as a Vitamix, for the price and the excellent reviews this blender has received, I would definitely recommend it. Its the best I've used!

Excellent customer services and solid product, just as long as you follow their usage instructions
UPDATE 08/18/16: The customer service staff at KitchenAid really came through and saved the day on this one. I spent about an hour on the phone explaining to them exactly what I was doing and how I was using the blender. They made some recommendations to change what I was doing and then sent me out a new blender. It has now been more than ten months of regular use making smoothies and the blender is still going. The change was to use the Pulse option on speed 5. Previously, I had been starting at low speeds and working my way up. This was burning out the motor, apparently. (I still don't know why) So, I have to give four stars, taking away one because it's not obvious how to use it correctly. But when you do, it works very well. ---------- What a difference a week makes. Last week I was going to write a review and give this blender 5 stars. I only used it 1-2 times a week for smoothies since I bought it six weeks ago. Up until this morning it had been a beast. it powered through my frozen fruit and other ingredients without even a hiccup. Then this morning, while finishing up making another smoothie, it died! Just stopped working. I push the buttons and all of the lights start flashing, but the motor does not engage when the buttons are pressed. Totally dead in the water. It's disappointing since I was enjoying using this unit. KitchenAid customer service was very helpful and sent me a replacement unit which arrived promptly via Fedex with a prepaid label to return the original unit. I'll be using this new blender for my 1-2 smoothies per week. UPDATE 08/11/16: The replacement blender DIED this morning! Same problem as the first one. Making a smoothie and suddenly it stops and all lights on the base are flashing. Someone at KitchenAid should be fired for allowing this kind of poor quality control. KitchenAid refused to refund my money and offered to send me ANOTHER replacement blender. I'm taking it and planning to sell it on ebay. Then, I will order a Ninja or similar blender to replace it. I am not taking a chance with the same unit after these kind of problems.

first impressions after just receiving the blender are:DSSo far very impressed
Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2017
Quiet... well a lot quieter than our last Oster blender that blew up.
Nice looking... in my opinion, it's not like I run a smoothie store and need an industrial blender taking up a ton of space on my counter.
Efficient... can tackle almost anything despite the lower price than the "high end" blenders.
Functionality... nice buttons easy to clean.
Priced effectively... I can buy 4 of these for the price of a vitamax.
The gear on the bottom of the blender is a composite of some kind. Most likely lending to the quitter operation. May also cut down on vibration whic may lend to longer lasting operation. (That's my take anyhow)
Durability... will have to wait for this test. I will be happy if it lasts 10 years or longer. After buying 3 cheaper blenders in the last 10 years. If it lasts 10 years them I have 40 years of a nicer looking blender, with smaller footprint for the price of a high end model
