    CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 HEALTH WARNING

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Contents: Hand blender with stainless steel adapter Measuring cup with lid Rubber guard Manual It’s Easy to put together, take apart and clean. lightweight. 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.

    Outstanding and Stylish Hand Blender!

    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.

    When I think Kitchen Aid, I think quality. I’ve owned many Kitchen Aid appliances throughout the years and they don’t fall short of amazing. The quality is 100% and this hand mixer is no different. I love how you can feel the high-quality materials when you hold it in your hand. If I could, I would have ALL Kitchen Aid appliances in my home. I’ve never owned a hand mixer, but the number one thing I love about this mixer is, its very basic. Basic means easy. And don’t be fooled, basic does not mean sub-par functionality by no means. When I say basic, I mean, there are no manual dial settings or manual speed settings at all. The speed control is all in the trigger. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the mixer spins. Everything from the blades to the body to the cord are high quality. I love making myself a smoothie every now and then. Or a personal frozen drink. This mixer does a wonderful job. Why break out the big blender if all you want to do is make single drink or smoothie. I love it. I give it 5 stars, its easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. It’s a small footprint appliance that packs a large punch! Great job Kitchen Aid! I am so glad I added this to my kitchen arsenal.

    I am truly blown away by the power of this hand mixer. KitchenAid has brought true quality and convenience to a kitchen gadget that is often taken for granted. The mixer has no problem pulverizing small pieces of ice into snow, but it is limited by what can fit into the blade's housing. This means that for smoothies, frozen strawberries (or other large frozen fruits) must first be cut into smaller pieces before they are blended up. If ice is added, crushed ice is best. But, if the blade can reach it - it will be chopped up with ease. The shape of the blade (along with the strategic housing windows) actually pulls liquid in towards the blade which helps to blend effectively. This is a tremendous help with blending soups and sauces. And to help protect non-stick pans from being scratched, the mixer comes with a protective guard that clips over the end of the tool. The scratch guard doesn't have a particularly snug fit, but it serves its intended purpose and is an nice addition. I love that KitchenAid pays attention to the finer details. For example, the base/motor is designed to attach to the lower blending rod in nearly any position (see attached pictures). You don't need to rotate to find a specific latching position, simply slide the rod up and lightly twist an it always pops securely into place. The only pain point is the weight and that the trigger must be held down to provide power to the blade. If you have a lot of blending to do, you'll need to build up some hand and forearm strength. I do like being able to regulate the speed/power by adjusting how far I squeeze the "trigger", but it would be nice to be able to lock it into place so that it stays on without the need for the user to continually squeeze - But, I understand that this may be dangerous. Overall this exceeded every one of my expectations. I even love the mixing cup that comes with the device. It has a small rubber ring in the base that barely protrudes from the bottom, but does a spectacular job at ensuring the bottom of the cup doesn't slip while it is in use. I absolutely recommend this hand mixer! It is absolutely excellent for shakes, smoothies, sauces, and soups!

    The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender (KHBV53) in Black Matte is a versatile, powerful kitchen tool designed to make blending, pureeing, and mixing tasks easier and more efficient. As a trusted brand in kitchen appliances, KitchenAid continues to impress with this hand blender, combining sleek design with strong performance. Here’s a detailed review of the KHBV53: Design: The Black Matte finish of the KitchenAid KHBV53 hand blender gives it a modern, professional look that fits seamlessly into any kitchen. The matte color resists fingerprints and smudges, which is a nice touch for keeping the blender looking clean and elegant. Its ergonomic design is comfortable to hold, and the handle feels sturdy yet lightweight, making it easy to grip during extended use without straining your hand. The blender features a long, slim shaft that provides a deep reach into bowls, pots, and pitchers. This design allows you to blend large quantities of ingredients without making a mess or splattering, which is a huge plus in terms of both convenience and cleanliness. Performance: One of the standout features of the KHBV53 is its variable speed dial, which allows you to adjust the speed based on your needs. Whether you’re blending soft fruits for a smoothie or pureeing thick soups, the variable speeds provide control and precision, ensuring the perfect texture every time. With its 250-watt motor, this hand blender is more than capable of handling a variety of tasks, including blending, chopping, and emulsifying. The motor is powerful enough to easily crush ice, blend tough ingredients like frozen berries, and create smooth purees or batters. The blender operates quietly, even at higher speeds, which is a nice bonus for those who prefer a less disruptive kitchen experience. Attachments: The KHBV53 comes with multiple attachments to enhance its versatility: Blending Arm: The standard attachment that makes it easy to blend soups, sauces, smoothies, and more. It’s designed to reach deep into pots and large bowls. Whisk Attachment: Ideal for whipping cream, egg whites, or making light batters and sauces. It’s a great addition for bakers and those who enjoy making delicate dishes. Chopper Attachment: This attachment is perfect for chopping nuts, herbs, or small vegetables, expanding the hand blender’s functionality even further. Each attachment clicks easily into place, making switching between tasks a breeze. The detachable parts are also dishwasher-safe, ensuring an easy cleanup after use. Ease of Use: The KitchenAid KHBV53 hand blender is incredibly user-friendly. The variable speed dial allows you to adjust the power level with a simple twist, providing full control over your blending needs. The one-hand operation feature makes it easy to blend or whisk with minimal effort. Additionally, the ergonomically designed handle reduces wrist strain, allowing for a comfortable and secure grip during use. Cleaning and Maintenance: Cleaning the KHBV53 is straightforward. The detachable blending arm and attachments are all dishwasher safe, so cleanup is as simple as popping them into the dishwasher. For a more thorough clean, the blending arm can also be rinsed under water. The motor unit should be wiped down with a damp cloth to avoid water damage, but other than that, maintenance is low-effort. Price: The KitchenAid KHBV53 is priced higher than some other hand blenders on the market, but the quality and durability make it well worth the investment. For those who frequently blend, puree, or whisk ingredients, the performance and versatility of this model justify the price. Conclusion: The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender (KHBV53) in Black Matte is a powerful, versatile, and sleek kitchen tool that is ideal for anyone who enjoys cooking or baking. With its comfortable design, powerful motor, and multiple attachments, it excels in various tasks from making smoothies to whipping creams and chopping herbs.
