A great tool for cooks, essential when canning. Very efficient, easy cleanup and purees faster and with less effort. Worth every penny of cost.

I am truly blown away by the power of this hand mixer. KitchenAid has brought true quality and convenience to a kitchen gadget that is often taken for granted. The mixer has no problem pulverizing small pieces of ice into snow, but it is limited by what can fit into the blade's housing. This means that for smoothies, frozen strawberries (or other large frozen fruits) must first be cut into smaller pieces before they are blended up. If ice is added, crushed ice is best. But, if the blade can reach it - it will be chopped up with ease. The shape of the blade (along with the strategic housing windows) actually pulls liquid in towards the blade which helps to blend effectively. This is a tremendous help with blending soups and sauces. And to help protect non-stick pans from being scratched, the mixer comes with a protective guard that clips over the end of the tool. The scratch guard doesn't have a particularly snug fit, but it serves its intended purpose and is an nice addition. I love that KitchenAid pays attention to the finer details. For example, the base/motor is designed to attach to the lower blending rod in nearly any position (see attached pictures). You don't need to rotate to find a specific latching position, simply slide the rod up and lightly twist an it always pops securely into place. The only pain point is the weight and that the trigger must be held down to provide power to the blade. If you have a lot of blending to do, you'll need to build up some hand and forearm strength. I do like being able to regulate the speed/power by adjusting how far I squeeze the "trigger", but it would be nice to be able to lock it into place so that it stays on without the need for the user to continually squeeze - But, I understand that this may be dangerous. Overall this exceeded every one of my expectations. I even love the mixing cup that comes with the device. It has a small rubber ring in the base that barely protrudes from the bottom, but does a spectacular job at ensuring the bottom of the cup doesn't slip while it is in use. I absolutely recommend this hand mixer! It is absolutely excellent for shakes, smoothies, sauces, and soups!

Love it, easy to work with . Would buy again, make my day so easy . Very happy !

The mixer is not only beautiful but also performs exceptionally well! I use it almost daily for making soups, and it still functions flawlessly. The delivery was impressively swift. I highly recommend it, a perfect 10!

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.

I enjoy making soups sauces and this works great for that. It also works good to liquify solid food into baby food for babies or post surgery liq diet.

Very strong motor! You have to blend at an angle sometimes to have an even texture, but it works great!
