Customer Reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 by 2Keyla from Lots of potential, but..... I was very excited to get this appliance. It can do so many different things, eliminating several storage stealing appliances from the cabinet. I would give this a 5 star rating, but there are 2 things I find very difficult with this product. First, It is virtually impossible to turn the dial to change the speeds. Even my husband, who works construction finds it very hard to turn. Second, I do not like that I have to keep pressure on the bottom to operate the unit. I wish it had an on/off switch with the option to pulse. My thumb gets very sore when trying to blend things with this and having to keep the pressure on the bottom to make it operate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ehroth from Five Speeds of Awesomeness I am amazed by the versatility and power the hand blender offers me. After both my hand mixer and chopper / blender decided to retire (not KitchenAid products), I found this gem. To date, I have yet to find a single thing that I cannot do with this device and all of the attachments. If you are on the fence about purchasing, jump off and pick one up. The single thing I hate about any of these devices is the difficulty in cleaning the blades and attachments. The beauty of this product is that I can add soap to a bowl with hot water in the sink and the device cleans itself by simply turning it on. You never have to worry about cutting yourself again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LovinKitchenAid from The Most used item in my kitchen! Wow. All the tedious chopping/mixing tasks - EASY! I use the chopper the most, onions, peppers, any vegetable really (pay attention to directions)- are chopped in SECONDS and ready to use. The multiple blender attachments to puree soup in the pan, or froth egg whites, or mix pancake batter- EASY! I use this tool almost every day. It cuts down prep time by more than half and cleans up and puts away easy in it's case. I LOVE this tool and have made salsa, sauces, dips, smoothies, mixed batter, chopped veggies to go in the frying pan- It is VERY versatile. I keep the diagram sheet that states which blender tool is best for what type of food- right inside the case for quick reference on which attachment to use. So handy- easy to use and you will use it. Almost everyday!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Saran from Difficult to keep clean I've owned this blender for over 2 years and use it virtually every morning to make my protein drink. I also use it for general cooking, etc., maybe once a week. Although I thoroughly rinse the blade section daily and wipe dry, it has begun to have a really rank odor. I discovered that the blending arm is now sucking liquid up into it and it reaches the bottom of the motor body and collects there. Yuck. Not sure what to do, but I will contact Kitchen Aid about this issue. I'm not expecting much since the product is over 2 years old. Otherwise, it's been a decent hand blender. Very disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Poor performance We decided to spend the extra money for the higher power 5 speed for the chopping feature even though it states that it can chop cooked meats, it can not! the blade stops and slips at the point where it makes contact with the lid even though the motor is not straining, we have a hand chopper that easily chops the same cooked chicken, Kitchenaid claims that the meat must be to tough well it has the same problem with cooked broccoli. Waste of money I should have bought the other brand that i was looking at. This was a birthday gift.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ErrantNights from Solid and Smooth Bought to replace a two-speed hand blender whose higher speed burnt out years ago. I am using it for creating breakfast smoothies. It operates flawlessly and has a good, solid feel to it. Smoothies are very smooth and well mixed with little effort. The only problem I had was with the quality control of the included plastic pitcher. The rim was received with a broken lip, as if the edge got caught while falling off a shelf and nobody noticed it. The missing piece is not noticeable when the lid is on, and does not interfere with using it with the blender. I decided the problem didn't merit returning the whole set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt from Powerful motor, quality attachments At first I thought this may have been an overbuy for what I needed in an imerasion blender. After using it several times, I'm very happy I didn't settle on a lesser model. As far as ergonomics, it feels great in the hand and even though despite its power, vibrations are a minimum and I'd feel comfortable holding it for an extended amount of time. All the attachments are top quality and work great. I'm surprised at just how often I now use the features I once thought of as overkill. The plastic pot saver is a nice touch to keep me from worrying about scratching my cookware and the case everything fits in is awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jean from Great Versatile Kitchen Appliance Even though I purchased this hand blender specifically to make mayonnaise (which the whisk does beautifully) I am finding little by little it is becoming useful in many other tasks in my busy kitchen due to the variety of attachments. The case is nice since I do not seem to find a spare inch in my cabinets and drawers for another tool. I find the power sufficient but I have never owned a stick blender before so do not have anything to compare it to. The only attachment I have not tried yet is the chopper but assume I will be pleased with that also based on other reviews I have read. My only complaint is that the numbers on the speed dial are extremely difficult to read.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DaddyOf5 from Great Tool I am very happy made this purchase. I bought this hand blender because my wife and I are expecting our 5th baby. We make all of the baby's first foods at home instead of using jar foods. I ran this through a test run and was very happy with the puree consistency. I was looking into the baby bullet and other similar items and noticed this was much more versatile. I do a lot of baking and such for my kids school parties and such and this has been great so far. If there were any complain at all it would be the whisking speed. While trying to whisk egg whites for royal icing it goes a bit too fast causing a splash mess. Overall I'm very happy though. Oh and the storage case is a great feature!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hypnotist from Makes the smoothest soups! I purchased this product primarily to create smoother pea and bean soups and it far exceeds my expectations. The reason for the Kitchen Aid was the fact that a longer wand was available. I make large amounts of soup and freeze what I don't immediately use and the longer wand lets me blend the soups in one batch. The unit works great and the storage case makes it easy to keep parts together (except for the optional longer wand). The plastic piece which keeps the blades from harming non-stick surfaces is great! I would certainly recommend this product to anyone needing and immersion blender.
