Great big disappointment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was super excited to get this immersion blender after I had read other reviews and done my research. It had many of the features I was looking forward to. However, my experience was disappointing right out of the box. Literally. Although the plastic storage case is a nice thought, there is no handle on it, and it it too thick to grab onto with one hand - my average sized female hand is too small to grab that case - I had to make sure I firmly had both hands on it to pick it up. Annoying and awkward. Not letting that dampen my enthusiasm for this new appliance, I opened the case and tried to get the parts out. Mind you, I am a 48 year old woman who builds scenery for a living and is not a wimp. The parts of the blender were in that case so tight I ripped my hands apart trying to get the pieces out. Ok. So I decided to ditch the case, and find a container that I could easily pick up and keep the parts in. A Tupperware worked nicely. Now came the time to use it, and the disappointments kept rolling in. First I tried chopping some vegetables in the chopper - it could not cut through the carrots - they just got stuck on the blade and rode it around and around. I tried onions, looking up directions on the on the internet thinking maybe it’s just me - but no, even following all the directions and advice, still faster and easier to do it myself with a knife. Then, when I washed the parts of the chopper, without submerging the top, water gets inside it and cannot come out. I find that GROSSLY DISGUSTING. Trapped moisture inside something you use to prepare your food. Yum. Now let’s talk about the motor body - the top of the unit is smoothly mirrored, and the speed settings are tiny black hashes that disappear. See the picture. And don’t even think of trying to adjust that speed if there’s even the slightest oil fat or hand cream on your hand - no way it’s gonna move. By that point, I was so disheartened with this tool I just packed it up (water still shaking around in the chopper body) and returned it to Best Buy. I’ve never been so disappointed in a tool before in my life. It makes me sad.

Awesome product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little product is very powerful and SO easy to use, but also stores away in the provided storage container so nicely! I find myself using this product more than my food processor, just because it's easier to access/clean.

Great Hand Blender!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a hand blender and purchased this one upon reading the reviews. This comes with a nice case to hold all the blades and the attachments. I like to be able to store my small appliances without taking up random space in my cabinet. It's a powerful unit and would recommend it in place of a standing blender. It does all the things that a regular blender does as well as crushing ice.

My daughter the chef loves this!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughter has been wanting an immersion blender for a long time. It works much better than doing small hot batches in the blender or food processor. She's been using it for wonderful smooth soups and sauces. She really likes all of the attachments and appreciates that they came in a case to keep them in.

Versatile and powerful
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for our kitchen to replace our 9spd KitchenAid immersion blender that we had given away, while still operating perfectly. I was concerned about the fewer speeds but I was pleasantly surprised that this has all of the power of the one it replaced and I really don't miss the in-between speeds. The versatility of different attachments also gives the potential to pare down the appliances in an already crowded kitchen cabinet. Blend, mix, chop, process, this does a lot. And I especially like the touch of the removable non-stick cookware guards on the bottoms of the blend blade housings. KitchenAid doesn't miss a detail.

Great multipurpose tool
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love that this thing comes with so many attachments and the separate food processor. Works very well and beats having to transfer things to a blender. Comes with a nice case to easily store everything too.

Q: QuestionDoes it come in any other colors
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes it comes a hand full of colors but not the pinks and teals type colors. Black, Brush nickel, silver type colors. If you just get the 2 speed one that doesnt come with all the attachments you can get "fun" colors. Not sure what colors you are looking for.
