KitchenAid - Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender - KHBV53 - Empire Red

Contents: Hand blender with stainless steel adapter Measuring cup with lid Rubber guard Manual It’s Easy to put together, take apart and clean. lightweight. I have never used a handheld immersion blender before so I tried using it a few ways. I was able to review the KitchenAid handheld blender after using it to make milkshakes, mashed potatoes, and puréed soup. •Puréed soup- trying to blend in the sauté pan was difficult because as I lifted the blender more than 1/2 inch off the pan the soup would splatter. I suggest a pan with higher sides or transferring out the pan which seems like a hassle because of adding more dishes to clean. •Milkshake- using the cup provided I assumed it would be cleaner. The ice cream would get stuck above the immersed part of the blender and not get blended. Maybe I just need a little practice, but if I’m making more than one milkshakes I’ll stick to my full size KitchenAid blender. •Mashed potatoes- I felt in control using the KitchenAid handheld blender to mix the potatoes. I was able to let it do the work and it was the right consistency because of the variable speed trigger. To be honest it was instant potatoes. I did not use the handheld blender on actual potatoes so results might differ. Quality: I’m always impressed with the quality of KitchenAid products. Most of my countertop appliances are KitchenAid because of quality and aesthetic appearance. This is a new addition to my KitchenAid appliances and can easily be stored away until I need to use it. I plan to use it on a few other recipes and see if it make my kitchen time easier with little to clean up. Like I mentioned earlier I’ve never used a hand blender before this and I’m sure I will get better using it over time.

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.

Works really great hand and small package for fast and simple meals

Great look and the quality of my Samsung microwave is easy to use and an amazing product. I also have an LG dishwasher that is not very quiet but built with so many features.

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

Not surprising the box wasn't on display along with the blender. Box gives a clear California Proposition 65 of a cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm warnings of this hand blender. So this means if Californians are warned of dangers, should not this be true for other states' consumers? Very deceptive of Best Buy and will be returning plus will not buy another item from this group. Can't be trusted.

Looks as pictured. I bought for someone else an this seemed great.

Its very easy to use, easy to clean and very stylish

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!
