KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender KHBV53, Charcoal Grey

I've used the hand blender to make soups, works great. It's really sturdy, and of high quality.

Ordered this to replace our 30 year old Braun hand mixer. I like how the business end comes off to wash separately. It's quite powerful. No complaints.

This KitchenAid hand blender is a workhorse! It's powerful enough to blend soups and smoothies with ease, but also gentle enough for purees. The variable speed control gives you tons of flexibility, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use even for longer blending sessions. The charcoal grey color is sleek and modern, and it feels really sturdy and well-made. I'm so glad I finally upgraded to this – it's made cooking so much easier and faster.

This is an essential tool for every kitchen. It’s very easy to use for blending sauces, soups, and gravies very easily.

For the price, this was an excellent buy. It's highly durable, and I love the design. The lower half of the blender detaches, and you can throw it directly in the dishwasher. The plastic is very durable and washable. It's also very compact, especially when in two pieces. I live in a downtown studio, and this is the perfect size. My one complaint is the blending strength. If using for only soups and sauces that are at least 50% liquid, this is more than strong enough. It's very fast too. I wanted to really put it through the paces, so I made mole - a thick, almost paste of a sauce. It kept jamming. Thankfully, it has an auto turn-off when it jams, so that it doesn't burn out the motor. But it was clogging it up every 30 seconds or so on the mole, though. Overall, worth the money: I'm keeping mine. Maybe in a few years I'll upgrade to a restaurant-quality one, but for now, it's a very useful addition to my kitchen.

Purchased to make creamy soups and fruit smoothies. Definitely does the job with ease, taking on thick starchy veggies and frozen fruit. Easy to hold and once you get the feel for adjusting for speed, prep is a breeze. However, its girth is larger than others I have owned. Like the guard to protect cookware. Would recommend.

Best thing I've bought. Power is great, I've used for protein shakes, blending soup, mixed cake batter. It's my go to because I don't have to always get the big blender out

Exactly as described. Works perfectly.

American cord! So now international useable.

Además de ser muy potente, luce muy bien. Como todos los productos de Kitchen Aid, la calidad es estupenda. La compré a un precio increíble.

I have many many kitchen tools, but an immersion blender was one that I never got so for boxing day this year I decided i must buy one. Now i already have a kitchen aid stand mixer that i love so i figured i need to get the kitchen aid immersion blender as well and let me tell you… it did NOT disappoint!! I’ve been wanting one for a while but was worried on how it would perform and after using it and i so pleased with my purchase. It does not make a mess what’s so ever, you put it into your liquid and hold the button as it is pressure sensitive and it blends so nicely. It’s not very loud and it doesn’t even feel like it’s doing anything until you realize everything is now blended together. It’s wonderful, perfect, and my new favourite tool, i’m making recipes just to have an excuse to use it !! My one and only complaint is that they don’t have it in pink, my stand mixer is pink so i was hoping to match them up but unfortunately not an option. Otherwise i absolutely love!

Good value

Works well - as intended!
