KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender with Accessories, Blue Velvet, KHBV83VB

My upgrade treat. Been using another common name brand immersion blender and it’s still working fine but wanted to upgrade as I didn’t like a few features of the one I’ve had for at least a decade. I wanted: no safety button/mechanism. Button that was easier to hold ergonomically as I process large batches for canning. Dual usage to eliminate all my kitchen gadgets. I love the one button (no safety), and it’s lighter than my previous blender. This makes it easier on my wrist. The attachment for the food processor is convenient and easy to attach. These are all easy to clean too. The pitcher that is provided works well to blend and measure pack into the pan. I put HOT pears in and blended quick. The only downsides IMO is the one speed, not too big of deal really. The reason for knocking a star off it, is because the quality of the blender. First use it is all marked up with scratches. I don’t see it lasting long. Overall I’m happy with the purchase. Last note: people complaining about the plastic guard… shouldn’t even be part of the package. I used the plastic pitcher to see how it worked but you really shouldn’t be sticking this thing in something you don’t want to scratch. Guarantee it has forever chemicals or plastic that shouldn’t be used for food processing (you’re ingesting that crap). Just my thoughts ✌🏼

Why didn't I buy an immersion blender years ago? Instead, I was making soup and trying not to burn myself with a traditional blender. So good so far and easy to use. I don't use the other attachments much (the food processor cup is pretty small), but it's worth it even just for the main blender.

Awesome! Purchased as a gift for my DIL, she loves it

If you’re going to purchase a hand blender, I would advise sticking with a known brand name. This will be the third one I purchased from Amazon. The other two sheared off at the shaft and became worthless. I decided to try the KitchenAid, and so far it’s meeting my expectations.

Kinda disappointed… my mom got me a cheap Hamilton hand blender and it worked way better than this one…. I like all the things it came with but $100….. a bit steep for how weak the power is on this thing and how inconvenient it is to sit it down with no mess…. Just not a good design and the price is outrageous for what you get. The whisk also broke a few days after I got and I had to try and superglue it.
