The KitchenAid K400 features a powerful three-part blending system that transforms even the toughest whole foods into velvety smooth perfection in just 20 seconds.
Whether you're blitzing kale, almonds or frozen mango, it's built to handle the lot, without that annoying mid-blend stall.
The ribbed jar design is cleverly engineered to create a powerful vortex that pulls ingredients directly into the asymmetric stainless steel blade, which cuts at four different angles.
Translation: no rogue chunks and a consistently smooth result.
But the real magic lies in the Intelli-Speed motor control, which senses what's inside the jug and adjusts accordingly, powering through even tricky textures while maintaining optimal speed.
Need to crush ice for frozen margaritas or a smoothie bowl? This blender can demolish a half-tray of ice in under 10 seconds, giving you perfect consistency every time.

Other smart features include a soft start function (so your ingredients don't explode on the kitchen splashback), three speed settings plus an Ice Crush mode, and two dual-purpose Blend-and-Go personal blender jars, so you can make your drink and take it with you in the same container.
If you're someone who likes options, the K400 is also compatible with extra accessories like a 6oz Small Batch Jar Expansion Pack or a 16 oz Personal Blender Jar Expansion Pack, which are sold separately.
With its sleek design, serious power, and rave reviews, it's easy to see why this pink powerhouse rarely goes on sale.
So if you've been waiting for the right moment to invest, this is it.
KitchenAid rarely goes this cheap, and the pink version is already selling fast.

Seller makes $2,095 million profit with one non-negotiable condition

On a sweltering Brisbane afternoon, the auction of 23 Copeland Street, was as much theatre as transaction. After an hour of hot bidding and hotter coffees, the charming four-bedroom worker's cottage sold for $2.32 million to a young family, dog Daisy in tow, who agreed to one condition: the beloved backyard gum tree stays put. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today The home, owned by the same vendor since 1999, was on the market for the first time in 26 years. She bought it for $225,000, renovated it twice, and shared one last request before the sale - to preserve the old gum tree that had marked her journey. The buyers didn't hesitate. More than 122 groups inspected the property, drawn by its elevated position, proximity to the future Olympic precinct and rich architectural details. Coffee and hot chocolate flowed freely from the on-site van, calming a crowd of over 200. "It was a tough act," said Nicholas Stankiewicz of NS Properties. "We had a guy who kept jumping in with five-thousand-dollar raises the moment another bidder opened their mouth. One frustrated buyer kept shouting, 'Is it on the market yet!'" Designed by Urban Solutions Architects, the house blends original 11-foot ceilings with a modern kitchen, elevated decks and solar upgrades. Zoned for top schools and just two kilometres from the Brisbane CBD, it offered families and investors a rare mix of charm, location and liveability. "The result speaks for itself," said Stankiewicz. "It was a tough, emotional, unforgettable auction." According to Cotality, Brisbane saw a sharper drop in activity, compared to the national average, down to 128 homes from 187 the week before, though its clearance rate stayed above 70 percent at 71.1 percent. $1.185m Kilburn corner block exceeds vendor expectation A unique corner allotment in Kilburn, Adelaide attracted 22 registered bidders and a flurry of competition, eventually selling for $1.185 million in front of a small but mixed crowd of families and investors. The auction of 62 Le Hunte Street began on a frosty winter's day with the sun peeking around the clouds and a tentative opening bid of $850,000. Quickly dismissed, a new starting bid of $950,000 set the pace, with bids rolling in at $25,000 increments before the field narrowed to three eager bidders. Harcourts agent Rajani Barot said the result far exceeded expectations. "The vendor only anticipated around a million, so they were absolutely ecstatic with the final figure," she said. The winning buyer was an investor who saw potential in the Urban Renewal Zone location and the flexibility of the 601 square metre corner site with no easements or strata restrictions. The property's four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, combined with its 3-metre ceilings, dual carports and landscaped gardens, appealed to a broad buyer pool. With separate kitchen, dining and living zones, it's well-suited to modern family life or future redevelopment (STCC). "Even in the cold, there was high energy in the crowd," said Barot. "Buyers knew this kind of property doesn't come up often in Kilburn, and it showed in the bidding." Adelaide lifted slightly in auction volumes volume with 83 auctions, but its clearance rate softened to 65.1 percent reports Cotality. Cottesloe charmer draws country buyers to coastal prize A warm, coastal classic in leafy Cottesloe stole the show on Saturday, with 36 Boreham Street selling for $2.8 million after spirited bidding from three active buyers. Ray White agent Jody Fewster said a crowd of around 40 turned out to watch the reimagined character home go under the hammer. Bidding opened at $2.5 million and climbed steadily before landing with a young family from regional WA, thrilled to secure their place in this Perth street with serious pulling power. The vendors, a local couple, were delighted with the outcome, which exceeded expectations for the 663-square-metre block nestled between the river and the sea. Framed by mature trees and a secure front garden, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was marketed as a light-filled blend of character charm and polished modern comfort. It offered timber and concrete floors, underfloor heating, high ceilings and a showstopping kitchen with Miele appliances and a vast island bench. Oversized glass sliders opened to a lush north-facing backyard with entertaining deck, lawns, established trees and room for a trampoline or future pool. Two sheds, a rear laneway and gated entry added extra appeal. Fewster said the sale reflects growing demand for quality family homes with move-in ready appeal. "It's a beautiful home with warmth, space and a great energy," she said. "The buyers fell in love with it straight away." The Cottesloe market remains competitive, with homes that blend lifestyle and liveability continuing to draw strong interest. Around the capitals, auction volumes dipped again this week, with 1,581 homes taken to market-down 7.5 percent on the previous week and 11.1 percent lower than the same time last year. The easing pace reflects a broader pattern in new listings, which have remained below average through much of 2025. Despite lower volumes, demand is holding. The combined capitals' preliminary clearance rate came in at 72.3 percent, slightly down from 74.7 percent the week before, which marked the year's highest to date. Still, it's the eighth straight week clearance rates have remained above 70 percent.

Aussie teen cannoli chef given reprieve from Instagram after ‘mistake' led to weeks-long ban

A young Australian pastry chef banned from Instagram has had a major win, with the social media giant conceding it 'made a mistake' when it closed his account. Zufi Abdul's Cannoli Boss page was shut down on July 11 when the 18-year-old Sydney student was accused of breaching guidelines relating to child abuse and nudity. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Meet the 18-year-old student who launched a booming dessert business. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today At the centre of the weeks-long drama was a 16-second video showing Zufi running a stall, stocking up on ingredients, standing side-by-side with other cooks and showing off a batch of his cannoli. The teen always disputed that the video contained any abuse material or nudity, and said the page closure was a major error. Interestingly TikTok had no issue with the same clip, which you can view below, when it was cross-posted to that platform. Loading Instagram Post In a major update on Saturday, a representative for Instagram said 'we're sorry that we've got this wrong' and reactivated Zufi's business page. 'We've reviewed your account and found that the activity on it does follow our community standards on child sexual exploitation, abuse and nudity, so you can use Instagram again,' the company told Zufi in a message. 'We're sorry that we've got this wrong and that you weren't able to use Instagram for a while. 'Sometimes we need to take action to help keep our community safe.' 'We made a mistake' The company uses a combination of people and technology to find and remove accounts that break its rules. Instagram said its priority is to keep its platform both safe and respectful, but conceded that 'our technology made a mistake' this time. After weeks of appeals, which included a visit to the Australian headquarters of Instagram's parent company Meta in Sydney, Zufi said he was excited to have the issue resolved. 'For four weeks I felt silenced. I was locked out of something I'd poured my heart into,' he told 'Getting the account back isn't just about logging in again, it's about getting a part of myself and my business back. 'It feels emotional but it feels right.' Zufi said his business relies on exposure from platforms like Instagram 'to survive', and said the the social media company's safety and security features need to improve so situations like his do not happen to others. 'You can't run systems this massive and not have better safety nets for when they get it wrong,' he said. 'There needs to be a faster, more human process, because when you shut down someone's page, you're not just flipping a switch, you're shutting down their income, their reputation and their story. 'That shouldn't happen without answers.' Zufi marked his triumphant return to Instagram with a video featuring the caption: 'I'M BACK. Tried to block the Boss? Nice try. The Cannoli Boss doesn't fold — we rise, we reload, and we come back stronger than ever.' 'I'm not slowing down, I'm levelling up,' he told 'There's more pop-ups on the way, new flavours and some exciting things near. 'I graduate soon so there's definitely big stuff coming.'

Construction on US President Donald Trump's $200 million White House ballroom to begin in September

US President Donald Trump has been envisioning a new ballroom on the White House campus for a decade and a half. His dream is about to become a reality. Construction will begin in September on a $US 200 million ($A311 million), 90,000-square-foot ballroom, his press secretary announced on Thursday. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today It fulfils a 15-year ambition by the president to construct an event space on the White House grounds that expands the building's entertaining capacity — but also resembles the gilded spaces of his private clubs. Renderings provided by the White House depict a vast space with gold and crystal chandeliers, gilded Corinthian columns, a coffered ceiling with gold inlays, gold floor lamps and a checkered marble floor. Three walls of arched windows look out over the White House's south grounds — including a massive new flagpole that was another of Trump's additions to the historic compound. 'I always said I was going to do something about the ballroom, because they should have one,' Trump told reporters on Thursday. 'It'll be a great legacy project, and I think it'll be special.' Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the new 'state ballroom' would occupy space currently housing the East Wing of the executive mansion, where first ladies have traditionally maintained offices. Staff working from the location now will be 'temporarily relocated'. The renderings show the exterior of the ballroom jutting onto the South Lawn, with a colonnade running along one wall. A Palladian facade with columns and a pediment sits on the eastern wall. The gold-and-white style closely mimics the Louis XIV-style main event room at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's estate in Palm Beach. Trump has not shied away from drawing inspiration from his clubs. 'No president knew how to build a ballroom,' Trump said last weekend, meeting the European Commission president in another of his crystal-draped ballrooms, this one at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. 'I could take this one, drop it right down there, and it would be beautiful.' The new ballroom — which will maintain the 'theme and architectural heritage' of the neoclassical executive mansion, the White House said — will have a seated capacity of 650 people, more than three times the space in the East Room, currently the largest event space in the White House. 'President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail,' White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said in a statement. 'The President and the Trump White House are fully committed to working with the appropriate organisations to preserving the special history of the White House while building a beautiful ballroom that can be enjoyed by future Administrations and generations of Americans to come.' Leavitt characterised the new construction — which she said will be funded by Trump and other private donors — as a necessary addition after previous White Houses were forced to host major events in a temporary tent constructed on the South Lawn, which she called 'unsightly'. 'For 150 years, presidents, administrations and White House staff have longed for a large event space on the White House complex that can hold substantially more guests than currently allowed,' she said. 'President Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future administrations and the American people.' Trump, she said, had convened meetings recently with officials from the National Park Service, the White House Military Office and the US Secret Service to 'discuss design features and planning'. An architect known for 'classical architectural design', McCrery Architects, was selected to spearhead the project. 'I am honoured that President Trump has entrusted me to help bring this beautiful and necessary renovation to The People's House, while preserving the elegance of its classical design and historical importance,' the firm's CEO Jim McCrery said in a statement. The vision of a new White House ballroom floated in Trump's mind dating back at least to 2010, when he called Barack Obama's White House offering to build one. His offer was rebuffed. 'It was going to cost about $100 million,' Trump said during his first term. 'I offered to do it, and I never heard back.' Stream free on
