KitchenAidVariable Speed Corded Hand Blender KHBV53, White

I finally got a great immersion blender! After trial and error with others, this is the keeper. I’ve also used the food processor and the blender accessories and it all works well. It is powerful and the pan shield for the blade is PERFECT! I have a set of Green+Life pans that I want to protect and that little shield attachment works like a charm. My new favorite kitchen gadget!

So happy with this! I wish I could give it 10 stars! Smooth creamy protein shakes, easy to make mayonnaise- I’mLoving this powerful stick blender. Durable design and beautiful color options!

I bought this to blend squash in soups. I've used it a few times and it works very well. Clean up is simple, rinse it in the sink, then 'stir' some warm soapy water, rinse, dry. The plastic guard clips on easily and protects the pan surface. It came with some accessories; the seem nice, but I haven't really used them.One thing, this unit is NOT CORDLESS. I didn't notice that when I purchased it, so was surprised. The cord isn't a big problem, but if you do not have handy outlets, perhaps you'll want a CORDLESS version. KitchenAid is a good brand, so I expect long life.

Does exactly what it should without fail. Easy to use and clean.

This KitchenAid hand blender is a workhorse! It's powerful enough to blend soups and smoothies with ease, but also gentle enough for purees. The variable speed control gives you tons of flexibility, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use even for longer blending sessions. The charcoal grey color is sleek and modern, and it feels really sturdy and well-made. I'm so glad I finally upgraded to this – it's made cooking so much easier and faster.

This is a great (mandatory?) gadget to have in the kitchen. It’s super efficient for blending soups, smoothies, and sauces. Plus it’s really quiet (at least compared to some other hand blenders I owned/tested), so you don’t feel like you’re waking up the whole house every time you use it. It’s easy to handle and feels solid. The blender guard is actually super useful to protect your pans and pots if you want to blend directly in them. Price point is good to for the quality. Definitely recommended.

I bought this specifically to make mayonnaise and it works very well. I'm learning to make a lot more considering the toxic ingredients you find in most foods and the secret to living well is making your own food at home. This immersion blender worked like a charm and very quickly made an excellent mayonnaise with perfect texture and taste. I then made my own pasta sauce from scratch it the blender worked very well for that, too.I chose a corded blender because I did not want to compromise on power and also I didn't need one more effing thing to charge. I was right- it's powerful and I don't see any need for cordless.The only two things that are champagne problems are cleaning it by hand is a little difficult (getting into that small space by the blade). I used a toothbrush. (Don't worry, it wasn't mine.). And secondly it's a little loud, but I am extremely sensitive to noise (I'm autistic) but I use a headset so that's not a big deal.Overall I highly recommend this blender because it works very well and I can finally make mayonnaise and other stuff so I can stop paying a lot of money for toxic food and just make it myself!

It's better than the one I replaced. I had another KitchenAid hand blender for years, but it died. We use it every morning for blended beverages and frothing. The first one came with a lot of parts and attachments. This one does not work with those! I was hoping it would, but it does not.I do love the button on this one better; the other one wore out quickly and left a lot of the internal workings exposed. I also like how the speed is adjustable by pressure on the button. The last one had the speed adjustment dial on the top, and once the markings wore off, it was hard to know how someone had it set, and we would have accidental adjustment changes that led to minor blending disasters.I love the color. I am thrilled with how well it blends.
