KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender KHBV53, Contour Silver

I bought this for my restaurant and love it. It’s small but great quality. Has two speeds that are powerful. It gets the job don’t and it’s versatility is great for blending thick liquids to making a vinaigrette. Sleek design looks nice as well, comes apart in two pieces and is very easy to clean.

My first KitchenAid and now I understand why it’s expensive and so well-recognized; It screams durability! Controlling the speed is easy, which gives you flexibility with your dish. Due to its slightly heavier weight, it offers excellent blendability, making it easy to maneuver without losing control, and is versatile.

This was an excellent purchase. Kitchen Aid is already a trusted brand in my kitchen, This addition was perfect and the price was great. I have used it to make jelly and my son uses it to make protein shakes. It is very easy to use and easy to clean.

The immersion blender I had for over 14 years, stopped blendering. I found the same exact item but the price is about 4 times higher than it was 14 years ago, so I started looking at more affordable machines. This one does the trick. It's heavy (for its size) and makes light work of whatever I've used it for: from blending fruits for smoothies, to a simple blend of dates for the overnight oats I like to make, to ginger, for my almost daily dose of ginger juice. The ginger was my final test on its effectiveness. It made short work of the ginger, which has to be put through fine mesh after blending to get just the juice. In short, this is a great machine!

This hand blender works great. I have mostly used it for making ganaches and pureeing vegetables for soups. The only thing I dislike about it is the plastic guard, which I can never get to fit quite right. I could also see this being dangerous if used without proper care and attention, but that's a user issue, not a product issue.

I didn’t know how much I needed an immersion blender for the holiday cookings until I got this one. It’s really good, perfect weight to it where it feels sturdy and quality. It blends perfectly (even the things that I have doubts about) without much force. I used to have a cheaper one and I can confirm getting a better one will benefit any home cook.

Great hand blender. Smooth operation and works well! Love the variable frequency drive! Comes with all the right accessories, especially the love the guard to prevent scratches allowing you to use the blend in a variety of containers

I thoroughly enjoyed this purchase. It comes with the cup, business end, and a guard to protect your pot but no other tools. The variable speed mentioned refers to how hard you press the button, which makes it easy to control how much pureeing or blending you're doing. The versatility there was appreciated. The power cord was long enough that I could plug in a ways from the outlet but also still have the item stand upright and not fall over. It seems to be designed well enough to be durable and last a while without fail. Concerns I have include storage because the mixing cup is plastic. I am unclear if it will withstand holding the hand held part, and the beater at an angle without eventually cracking the plastic cup. Otherwise quite delighted with my purchase.
