Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you've never used a hand blender before, it might seem wholly unnecessary or like an extravagance - until you use it. I call them immersion blenders and they have become widely available now and recipes that use them abound. On the fancy end of the spectrum are homemade Hollandaise sauce or mayonnaise in literally a couple minutes. On the incredible utilitarian end is pureeing soups in the pot while they are cooking. Also great for milkshakes, smoothies, and baby food. These devices operate like handheld reverse blenders - the blending mechanism (indistinguishable from one at the bottom of a standard blender) is used from above what you are blending - the angle and movement of the blending wand draws what you are blending through the device. The actual blending wand twists off the motor for easy and safer cleaning (it cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher!). The corded motor is plenty strong for just about any non-commercial use. A single button initiates the motor and controls the speed of the blender - it's simple, intuitive, and easy to understand and operate. There are no recipes included - but there is an internet full of them. It comes with a three-cup blending jar with lid - for smaller tasks , a somewhat narrow enclosure forces the fluid to cycle and blend very quickly. The plastic jar and lid are dishwasher-safe. A curious inclusion here is a plastic device they call a pan guard - it snaps on the bottom of the blending mechanism to prevent the metal edge from scratching the bottom of you metal pans (see picture). A great little detail from KitchenAid.

I have always wanted an immersion blender! The color is pretty, the functionality is perfect, love the added accessories, and it is fun to use! It has just enough weight to it yet light enough to hold one handed.

This corded hand blender has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen! I For the price, I'm incredibly impressed with its performance. The motor is surprisingly powerful. It effortlessly blends everything I've thrown at it, from frozen fruit for smoothies to thick soups and even hummus. I was a little worried about it struggling with ice, but it handles it like a champ. The blending is quick and consistent I appreciate the simple design. Kitchen aid is the best brand. The cord is a decent length, giving me enough room to maneuver around the kitchen without being cumbersome. The buttons are also conveniently placed and easy to press, even with wet hands. While it's a corded model, I haven't found the cord to be too much of a hassle. Honestly, the consistent power and reliable performance are worth the minor inconvenience. Plus, I don't have to worry about charging it! If you're looking for an affordable and reliable hand blender, I highly recommend this one. It's perfect for everyday use and has quickly become one of my most-used kitchen gadgets. Definitely a great purchase from Best Buy!

A GOOD UPGRADE TO A GREAT PRODUCT REVIEW: KitchenAid - Hand Blender - Ink Blue Best Buy Tech Insider Network SUMMARY: We had an older model KitchenAid Hand Blender that we have enjoyed for years. The latest model is a nice upgrade with a variable speed trigger to allow for fine control over speed without fussing with other controls. The optionally attached pan protector makes a lot of sense as well. The older version seemed to have a more powerful top speed, although we rarely used it. Once you get used to the variable speed it was a pleasure to use and it helps prevent splashing. I would recommend this for anyone in the market for a hand powered immersion blender. UNBOXING: (see picture) INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Very well packaged. Seems like a quality product that is well made, very sturdy, well balanced. USING THE UNIT: Worked well on Soup, Smoothies, Shakes, Steamed Vegetables, Salad Dressing, and more. BEST FEATURES: Variable Speed Trigger Pan Guard Protector SUMMARY: As a retired professional chef, no kitchen is complete without an immersion blender, and this KitchenAid is well made solid unit. It will make you a better all around cook.

This KitchenAid corded Hand Blender blends makes quick work of anything you need to blend, mix or puree. The variable speed trigger gives you precise control over mixing speed. The removeable 8-inch (20.3 cm) blending arm has a 4-point stainless steel blade and it is easy to clean. When assembled the blender is about 16 inches long, balanced and easy to control. The corded hand blender is about 9 ½” inches long without the blending arm making it easy to store. The “bell” around the 4-point blade protects the bottom and sides of containers from the blades. Use the included pan guard to protect non-stick pots and pans from the edges of the “bell”. The included 3-cup (700 ml) BPA-free Jar with Lid is the perfect size for fresh home-made pizza sauce, scrambled eggs/omelets, quick smoothie, shake or blended drink. This is replacing our old 2-speed hand blender with way too much plastic in the blending arm and flimsy blades. We really love the variable speed control, easy to clean metal blending arm and stonger 4-point blade on this KitchenAid model.

Read every review of this item before purchasing. There were pros and cons to go around, but I settled on this hand blender and the KitchenAid name due to the quality of my mixer so I took a chance. And I am glad I did. I have yet to experience any cons. Before I was using a hand held mixer over my pot filled with cooking dates to blend them into a creamy filling for my maple date nut bars and even on the lowest speed it splattered. NOT SO this great device. I could easily handle this blending dates in the same pot without splatter. Also, it is lighter and easier to handle which is better for my arthritis. Easy clean up, too.

We've had this hand blender for a few months, it works well, sturdy construction. I like the variable speed button, much better quality than the slightly less expensive one we replaced.

Light weight but powerful! Whips up thick shakes and malts quickly. Purées salsas nicely, I don’t have to get my big blender out for a small batch. So easily cleaned. Guard keeps my pans from getting nicked.

Love it!! Works quickly, cleans up easily. Have used it quite a bit for mayo and soups. Ive had this for over a year and it works just as well as the day i got it.

Absolutely the best hand mixer! It’s powerful, easy to store, and simple to clean. The non-scratch design is a big plus, especially in delicate cookware. The blue color is nice, too. I always trust KitchenAid. It's a lot better than the old one.

>> Summary The KitchenAid feels very solid and well-constructed, a hand blender that looks destined for everyday use. The blending arm is metallic, and it is easy to clean. This package comes with a pan guard that you can attach to the metallic end of the blender if you worry about damaging your pan when blending. The variable speed feature makes it easy to blend different concoctions, from very coarse or with big chunks of organic material, to a very fine substance. Not very much else to say, it does its job. - Pros: easy to move around, easy to clean, variable speed, very effective blending. - Cons: a little too big (well it looks like it is the standard hand-blender size). >> Contents in the package It comes with: - the hand blender in two pieces to be assembled. - a pan guard. - a blending jar. >> Blending We use this hand blender for blending most of our sauces, smoothies and soups now. Although it is a hand blender, and it would seem that the amount of substance to blend has to be small, we have used it for blending soups/creams up to about a gallon. So, this device can tackle bigger jobs. I love the variable speed feature of the KitchenAid hand mixed, the harder you push the button the faster it rotates, so it is very intuitive to use. We look forward to using this hand blender frequently. >> Other thoughts I’ve owned a couple of other hand blenders, and it looks like they had a similar size and weight to this KitchenAid. I am not sure if there is a standard size and weight for a hand blender, but I wished this was a little smaller and lighter (perhaps not much that can be done if there are physical design constraints). I wish that it came with a mixer attachment or adapter. I had another hand blender that came with one, and it made our life easier working in the kitchen. I did some research online, and it looks like there are other KitchenAid models that come with the mixer; just consider this when contemplating buying this product. I do not really use the blending jar. I got used to blend in big cups, pans, etc.

Works well, you control the speed by how firm you hold the trigger down, and it's reasonably sensitive. The faster you go it will tend to suck the blender down towards to the bottom of the pot, so if you're concerned about metal on metal contact, there's an included plastic guard you can mount onto the bottom rim of the blender cup. The cord isn't that long, but if you have an outlet near your range, it's fine and it keeps excess cord out of the way. Powerful enough for me just making soups, etc.

Build quality feels good. I was surprised by how quiet it sounds while running. Helped to make a great broccoli cheddar soup. Makes a great milkshake. I look forward to using it for applesauce too. The blender part simply unscrews for easy cleaning.

It works great and is very quiet and easy to use! Small and easy to store.

Holy crap.. this thing works so great.. I got the corded version as I didn't want to lose battery life in the middle of making something... I love it... It makes mashed potatoes so smooth, you will never go back to a mixer style... Easy to clean, easy to use... fun too... Built with quality in mind..

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is a kitchen essential! With its powerful motor and variable speed settings, it effortlessly tackles blending, pureeing, and chopping tasks with precision. The ergonomic design and comfortable grip make it easy to handle, while the durable construction ensures long-lasting performance. Whether whipping up smoothies, soups, or sauces, this hand blender delivers exceptional results every time, making meal prep a breeze!

I had never used a hand blender before and it was somewhat of an impulse buy so I was a little concerned it wouldn't work efficiently and would spray all over and make a mess. Turns out I love it! Mostly I use it to make smoothies and soups. It doesn't spray, cleans easily, blends contents quickly and food comes out just the way I like it. Takes up less room on kitchen counter than a big blender. Probably a cordless one would be nice but corded is less expensive and works fine.
