KitchenAid K400 Variable Speed Blender - 56 Oz Jar and 5 Speeds

KitchenAid K400 Variable Speed Blender KSB4028BM pairs a 56 oz BPA-free jar with a 1.5 peak HP motor and a ribbed blending container. The black matte model uses a four-angle asymmetric blade and Intelli-Speed motor control to maintain speed as ingredients move through the jar.

Five Speeds and Preset Programs

The KSB4028BM offers 5 speed settings plus three preset recipes: Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie. Soft Start begins at a slower speed before increasing, while the asymmetric blade cuts at four distinct angles.

The 56 oz jar is BPA-free and includes measurement markings. The tamper-equipped package contains the blender base, jar, lid, and tamper, giving the KSB4028BM a larger accessory set than the standard KSB4027BM configuration.

Size Power and Price

The K400 KSB4028BM uses a 1.5 peak HP motor, listed at 1200 watts in independent product specifications, and measures 9.02 inches deep, 15.8 inches high, and 7.59 inches wide. Its listed weight is 12.0 lb, while the jar capacity is 56.0 fl oz.

Home Depot lists the black matte KSB4028BM at $299.99 as of 09/24/2026. A white KSB4028WH listing carries the same $299.99 price, placing the tamper-equipped K400 above entry-level countertop blenders while keeping the jar and motor specifications consistent across those US configurations.

KitchenAid's Countertop Blender Position

KitchenAid is a Whirlpool Corporation brand, and Whirlpool's North American small domestic appliance business is headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The K400 is a countertop blender rather than a personal blender: its 56 oz jar favors larger batches, while the five-speed dial and three presets cover manual and guided operation.

Best Fit for Larger Batches

The KSB4028BM suits kitchens that need a full-size jar, manual speed control, and preset programs in one countertop unit. Its 56 oz capacity and included tamper support larger blends, while the 12.0 lb listed weight and countertop dimensions make it a fixed-appliance choice rather than a portable one.
