KitchenAid Variable-Speed Hand Blender - KHBV53

I love it, I have had this for 2 years this month, I use it often & it has done just what I needed it to do.

My husband was happy to receive it. It seems very sturdy and should last a while

I bought this 4 months ago and used it total of 5 times. Then it just quit. It never did seem to have much power, and the 3 way switch never worked at all

it won't work on anything harder than soft berry puree. Weak and useless blender. I tried to mix cottage cheese. After a couple of dives, the blender stopped. Every couple of seconds I had to clean up the blades.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this hand blender about a month ago and let me tell you it won't disappoint you, it's strong, reliable from making mayonnaise to blending your soup. Easy to clean and to assemble. Used a few different brands in the past and let me tell you they won't beat this big boy!

Best tool for soup making ever! No mess for puréeing, which can be done in the same pot!

It works very well to blend things without having to drag out the regular blender. I love it.

the blender itself is great, I really enjoy using it. The problem is the cup. Most of the recepies with chocolate require you to heat the chocolate first to make it liquid and I thought to microwave it directly in the plastic cup instrad of microwaving chocolate in a separate bowl and then transfering it to the cup. But turns out the cup is not microwave safe, it melted and almost started a fire. I know tgat I was supposed to read the description first to make sure it's not microwave safe, but nowadays almost all plastic dishes, containers, cups, etc are microwave safe so it was a big surprise to me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this so often. I mainly used my blender for puréing soups and this is so much simpler. I don’t need to mash my beans any more. Perfect mixed dressings. Definitely a main player in my kitchen!

I purchased this when the motor in my Cuisinart hand blender (which I loved) stopped after 7 plus years. I just knew I was upgrading with this being a “Kitchenaid” but I couldn’t purée even the softest of foods without it turning off within seconds of blending and that’s not even the frustrating part. The frustrating part is that you can’t turn it back on. You literally have to wait like 10 or more minutes before you can use it again. I love how it looks but its functionality is awful. I highly do not recommend this product.

It stopped working after a year.

I did love it very much I use it every day because it’s easy

We like the variable speed, and with the corded version, we know it's always ready to go. It's a pleasure to use and has outperformed every other type we've used. The blade unit fits more securely than any other blender we've had, but it only takes a simple twist to release it for cleaning. Works well, feels well built, and looks great!

Wow! This works much better than anticipated! It even chops up baby carrots with no problem! We mostly use it to make baby prune pouches and salad dressings. No complaints!

I had one of these basic versions that worked fine for the occasional task which was broken in a move. We have an offbrand that needs to be replaced as now that i have a baby, i use it all the time…. For everything. I really want and cant believe there’s not one that sits in a countertop charger and looks nice (i have no idea why classic white- not the cheap plastic utilitarian white is not available in a lot of the retro appliances) AND has a frother attachment as well as a high quality blade-all the other stuff it normally comes with. I would pay good money for that. I dont understand how thats not a thing yet. What gives?!

Chops crushed ice for smoothie extremely good.

I bought this for my Wife a year ago. This is the most handy and most used mixer in the house. It works for everything and anything! Drinks, batter, grinding nuts and anything else you can imagine!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Game changer. Soups, sauces, and blending. All in one tool. Making mayo at home has never been easier

Love this little gadget so much! Creates creamy foam in my coffee and starts my day with a little fun! Lol

This item only works for 20-30 secs before it has to cool down.
