Kcpbl Plastic Blender for Nutone Built in Food Center 250, 251 and the Kitchen Center Power Base

We have an older model 50's vintage Nutone 221 center, and normally this blender shouldn't be a fit, but some of the previous purchasers posted reviews saying that if you still have the old style blender, this one would fit by swapping out the mounting flange plate for the old one. I tried it and it was very easy to do. The new blender differs by having thicker tabs on the plate that won't fit the old Nutones. Just three screws removed the old plates from bottoms of the old and new blenders, then I screwed old plate to the base of the new blender and it works a treat! Now I have a better blender that has more blades and can be dis-assembled for cleaning. Bob's your Uncle.Very nice having the helpful hints from the customer community!

I was so grateful to find this on Amazon! It hadn’t occurred to look here first now I’ve learned my lesson! This fit the built-in blender in the bar at my parent’s house and my mom had been looking for a replacement for months! It works perfectly and better yet, it’s quieter than the previous one. They’re super happy so thank you Amazon once again for coming through with something that we about to give up on!!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR PEOPLE WITH A MODEL 251:This unit will not "lock" into your base turning it clockwise as per the instructions and necessity.However, the screw holes in your old unit's metal base line up with these, so replace this current unit's metal base with your old unit's base!!BUT.... the new unit has three additional holes for pegs spaced midway between the screw holes. YOU NEED TO drill holes to accommodate these stabilizer pegs to get a tight flush seal of the old metal base onto this new unit's base..It is a 1/8 th inch drill bit that you need and is EASY to mark and drill the stabilizer holes into the old metal base. So don't throw away your old blender unit until you get the metal ring from it.Time for entire perfect swap out is about 15 minutes.After this revamp, this units is PERFECT !!ALSO, this is not dishwasher safe, either, like the original plastic blender. Erggh.

I ordered this for my Nutone 250. I read all of the reviews that indicated that the securing ring did not fit the 250 series and to make it work, you need to swap the ring from your old blender. Well, I don’t have the old blender, but I took a chance anyway.Sure enough, the reviews were right but I don’t give up that easily. I took the ring off and set it in place to see why it would not lock. It turns out that the outer diameter of the locking tabs is about 1mm too big. I used a grinder to take just a tiny bit off of each tab until I had a perfect fit.In less than 5 minutes, I had a perfect replacement for my missing blender!

This is the second time I bought this product. The first one started leaking and had to be scrapped. The cap on the cover of the second one broke into pieces (see photo) after a couple of uses. Two small pieces of plastic were found in the spicy tomato soup I made today.

It looks great!However, the lock ring is just a bit too thick for the base. Either I will be machining the thickness down on the new one or adding holes the old one for the locator pins and using it. I do like that it can be disassembled for easy cleaning though.

Very cheap the original was a beauty this China stuff is crap!

Well constructed. Bought to replace a blender in the boat that broke
