`strong – does what it should
practical and convenient – blend anywhere – even while cooking on stove – can in many cases be used instead of food processor – much easier to clean – this is powerful and well worth its price – I bought a metal “milk shake” cup 30 oz – to go with it.
Arn Wilson –
Powerful, ease of control.
Very powerful, but you can run it at a low speed so you donât overdo it. Works very well great brand great mixer. You can start it out very slow or mix things violently high-quality feels like a professional tool in the hand. Very highly recommended. Hope this helps someone

Works well, powerful
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.

Works great!!
Amazing blender!! Lightweight but powerful. Easy to use. Blended an entire instapot full of winter veggies for soup in seconds! Very easy to clean & store.

Durable and gentle!
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 â it’s made cooking so much easier and faster.

Product is great, description is inaccurate
The hand blender works great, but in several places in the Amazon description, it says âDishwasher safe blender arm.â That is inaccurate, as I have attached a photo from the product manual to illustrate. Notice that the jar, lid, and pan guard are the only items described as dishwasher safe. For the blender arm, it says you must wash it in hot, soapy water. That is NOT dishwasher safe. If/when the description is updated with accurate information, I will revise my review accordingly.From a functional standpoint, Iâm happy with the product. There is no safety button; the depth you press the power button determines the speed. That is fine for my needs, but just be aware of that if you have kids at home. (Kids should always be carefully supervised around ANY blender device.)

Still going strong
We’ve had this for over a year now and it’s still going strong.Glad we didn’t get a battery powered one and went for this one, which is corded. This allows for instant use without having to worry about charging a battery. Sometimes it takes a while to get a really smooth consistency when making soups. Corded all the way.Another nice feature of this immersion blender is the plastic guard. It allows me to blend the soup at the bottom of the pot without worrying about scratching the pot.Excellent.

It’s better than the one I replaced.
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.

I have been hand immersion blending for close to a decade on a daily basis and used 3 Cuisinart versions of their Smart Stick before this Kitchen-Aid brand and style. Comparing the 4 after many uses, and many cleanings, this Kitchen-Aid unit surpasses the others.Their one thumb, progressive multi speed switch is by far the nicest and easiest I have used. It allows for blending protein powder into hot milk in a large coffee cup quietly and effortlessly, but most awesomely is…cleanly! The earlier versions of the Cuisinart had some counter paintings going on with spraying, non-adjustable over-blends, but this switch pretty much eliminates any of those messes. Also, the Kitchen-Aid blade and bell design blends the same powder in the same liquid in the same cup much quicker than my last Cuisinart did.Another standout of the Kitchen-Aid is the stability of the blade shaft in the lower blade bell. There is very little movement and has a more solid feel with a better seal and a tighter tolerance. It’s actually the reason my 3rd Cuisinart had to be replaced, it was just so noisy with the blade shaft vibrating like crazy blending simple liquid.The one aspect the Cuisinart is better for though, is their one thumb click switch to detach the blade unit from the motor body for cleaning. Simple, with no sticking or finicky wrestling to get them apart. Attaching was the easiest too, as there was no specific lining up of the 2 parts to connect the blade to the body, just insert and click.The Kitchen-Aid has an insert and twist to lock style of blade attachment and only connects in one aligned position. I’m assuming with it being new, the drive shaft insertion is still pretty snug into the upper blade coupling which results in a full, “2-hand wiggle back and forth with gingerly applied pressure” process being needed to get them apart. Too much pressure too quick will result in it letting go with a jerk and causing another possible clean-up. I expect over time this will become less wiggly to get apart, but only time will tell. This is easily overlooked though with that one thumb progressive On/Off switch, it’s just so much better than the 2 thumb start, 2 hand to change the 2 preset speed switch on the Cuisinart.Thanks 🙂

The product description is misleading as it fails to mention anywhere that the item comes with an American plug and operates at 120V. This is not compatible with the UAE power system.When I reached out to the seller to address the issue, they were unhelpful and unwilling to resolve the problem.If I purchase from Amazon.ae, I expect products to either be compatible with UAE standards (plug and voltage) or for this information to be clearly stated in the description.Disappointed with the lack of transparency and seller support.Let me know if youâd like any adjustments!

This is NOT usable in India. Shocking how this is being sold without clarity about voltage restriction. I bought it seeing such good reviews… but now I realize these are reviews from outside of India. The negative reviews are from the buyers in India. So misleading, dissapointing and a WASTE OF TIME!

Es un aparato muy fuerte. Tiene el aspa y su base de metal y el motor tiene mucha fuerza. Me gustó mucho.

Me encantó ésta batidora de inmersión Kitchenaid. Tiene un color hermoooso, es super ligera y manejable. Funciona bastante bien. Por el tamaño que tiene es muy fácil hacer tu mayonesa y salsas directamente en un bote.
