KitchenAid - Go Cordless Multi-Speed 180W Battery-Powered Hand Blender with Battery - Black

Very bulky and doesn't fit into normal glasses. Hard to hold and turn on at the same time. I like how it is easy to clean and has a safe guard, but for my arthritic hands not easy to use.

Perfect for soups - Nice and quiet- works well - wish it came with a container or box for storage while put together. Easy to clean. have not tried on a smoothie yet.

This is a fantastic upgrade! This new model has noticeably better battery life, which makes it much more convenient when I’m working through recipes without wanting to stop and recharge, and it blends smoothly and efficiently for soups, sauces, shakes, and more. It really helps make everyday cooking easier, and the design looks great too. Sleek, modern, and very comfortable to hold and use.

PROS Effective All metal construction - no plastic Good run time on single charge Not too heavy for a one-handed operation Easy enough charging, decent charge time CONS Occasional need for a slower or higher speed not possible, since this is a single speed device.

First time buying one and i loved it mde my life easier making a soup from scratch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the Braun and Cuisinart handheld blenders previously. Both felt more powerful than this KitchenAid one. I mainly use handheld blender to blend soup. The KitchenAid creates lots of foam, while the other two brands don't. And it also makes the soup thinner for some reason. A totally new experience for me, which I didn't expect. I thought a blender is a blender, how different could it be. Nonetheless, it still does the job, just the soup ended up slightly different but still delicious. I like that it's cordless! And I actually don't recommend the Braun one, because within a short period time, it produced a weird noise while using. It's like something is misaligning. So power doesn't mean everything.
