Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s okay, overpriced, feeling heavy and hard to use

Needed one so trying one - more complicated than I would like

Blends very nicely. When I use it to mix things, it does.

We never had a true hand blender before, only a low to medium powered kitchen utility device with a "blender" attachment that barely stirred. This KitchenAid Hand Blender (a member of the KHBV53 model family) is great upgrade to that! The design looks simple, but it has a solid, high-quality feel to it. It is not light, but it is not very heavy. With the blending arm attached to the motor/handle, it is about 16 inches tall (each piece is about 8 inches, so should be easy to store). The controller button is right near the top. When running, the motor is fairly quiet. It is a fully variable speed motor (no specific number of speeds, so no separate speed switch), completely controlled by how hard you squeeze the button (so it makes it easier to changes speeds as needed). It comes with a 3-cup plastic blending jar (with a lid) as well as a pan guard to go on the bottom end (to prevent scratching if using in a pan). The power cord a decent 5-foot length (for the electrical outlet deprived kitchens). When using it, it worked great!! Most importantly, it mixed milkshakes perfectly with ease (even with some fairly dense ice cream with cookie dough chunks). It also had no problems with crushing ice. There are many other uses for the blender that we will eventually try out. We also have other blenders that we have made single-serve shakes and smoothies with, but one thing that this hand blended will help with is the cleanup as it is definitely a bit easier. And as a plus, it mentions that the Chopper and Whisk attachments that come with Model KHBBV83 will also work with it! Just not sure if you can purchase those separately though if you do not already have them.

I bought this for my son as a Christmas gift to go with his kitchenaid mixer.

Great product, I recommend it to others. It’s very good

Worked great until it didnt work at all. Didnt even get two years out of this one

Havent used it yet But couldnt pass up on the price i paid.

Don’t let this hand blender fooled you because of the size, this hand mixer is very light weight and easy to maneuver, and so effective to mix, I am pleasantly surprised how sharp are the blades. It makes the mix of steamed vegetables, smoothies, sauces, puree and specially soups, of which we are fans. It’s so easy and the result is a perfect mix. It includes a blending jar with measurements for 3 cups with a lid. The quality feels and looks great. You can cqn tell it is a high class unit, solid and well finish, stainless steel body, that looks awesome in my kitchen, and this is something that we can expect from a prestigious brand like Kitchen Aid. The setup is smooth, just unbox the unit, attach the blending arm to the motor body, connect the unit to the power outlet, and that is it. But beside the easy maneuver which I love it, the best part is the speed control placing pressure on the control button easily located and reachable with the index finger. The variable speed trigger lets you adjust the speed which is very clever because that way you can rapidly prevent the mixing from splattering. I was able to count 7 speeds. This unit also comes with a pan guard so you can protect your pots from scratches. Overall the unit is great and it is a useful addition to my kitchen.

Stopped working the first time I used it. I contacted Kitchen Aid and they replaced it but I have not yet tried to use the new one.

Went out a little past a month. After the returnable date.

Not the greatest wireless mixer. The button is difficult to press while using and there’s no variable speed settings.

Very useful I like it. And it last for long time more the other products

Great for smoothies my wife loves to make fruit smoothies to stay healthy

It could be faster but good for price. I got it for my wife and she loves it very much.

Astonished at the downhill of quality KitchenAid motors. Used it 3 times, dead.

Doesn’t grind lentils very well. Otherwise overall works well.

Product is ok for the price I paid ... but guard that clicks on doesn’t hold properly had to find it in the bowl of Yukon gold puréed potatoes I was preparing .

Due to the inefficiency of Best Buy's logistics nad fulfillment departments, I cannot speak to the quality of the product. I wound up canceling the order and buying a competing product at a nearby Target.

The machine didn't work since the day i bought it. Somw manufacturing defect i guess!
