KitchenAid - Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender - KHBV53 - White

I love making soups with my immersion blender. It allows for thick or liquify consistency. Easy to use and clean.

Looks as pictured. I bought for someone else an this seemed great.

Not surprising the box wasn't on display along with the blender. Box gives a clear California Proposition 65 of a cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm warnings of this hand blender. So this means if Californians are warned of dangers, should not this be true for other states' consumers? Very deceptive of Best Buy and will be returning plus will not buy another item from this group. Can't be trusted.

I have never used a handheld immersion blender before so I tried using it a few ways. I was able to review the KitchenAid handheld blender after using it to make milkshakes, mashed potatoes, and puréed soup. •Puréed soup- trying to blend in the sauté pan was difficult because as I lifted the blender more than 1/2 inch off the pan the soup would splatter. I suggest a pan with higher sides or transferring out the pan which seems like a hassle because of adding more dishes to clean. •Milkshake- using the cup provided I assumed it would be cleaner. The ice cream would get stuck above the immersed part of the blender and not get blended. Maybe I just need a little practice, but if I’m making more than one milkshakes I’ll stick to my full size KitchenAid blender. •Mashed potatoes- I felt in control using the KitchenAid handheld blender to mix the potatoes. I was able to let it do the work and it was the right consistency because of the variable speed trigger. To be honest it was instant potatoes. I did not use the handheld blender on actual potatoes so results might differ. Quality: I’m always impressed with the quality of KitchenAid products. Most of my countertop appliances are KitchenAid because of quality and aesthetic appearance. This is a new addition to my KitchenAid appliances and can easily be stored away until I need to use it. I plan to use it on a few other recipes and see if it make my kitchen time easier with little to clean up. Like I mentioned earlier I’ve never used a hand blender before this and I’m sure I will get better using it over time.

I have used different brands of blenders and KitchenAid - Hand Blender - Ink Blue Blender is a very compact and stylish look. It came with a KitchenAid blender, Stainless steel hand blender arm (20.3 cm), Pan guard, and Beaker (700 ml) with lid. It blends milkshakes, smoothies, soups, and sauces. The removable 8-inch stainless steel blending arm with a variable speed trigger delivers quality output. The 3-cup BPA-free blending jar is a nice add-on to store smoothies for later use. 5' power cord is the perfect size to use it in a flexible range. For blending, Insert the Hand Blender into the mixture. Press the Variable speed controller to start. Use your free hand to cover the top of the blending jar for better stability and avoid splashing. It blends fruits, vegetables, and shakes very nicely. With 180 watts power, it blends tough ingredients to get perfect shakes and juices. The blender is very easy to use with one touch and very easy to clean and it is dishwasher safe as well. I have been using this every day to make shakes and juices. I am impressed with the outcome of shakes and juices and highly recommend to everyone.
