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.

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.

Well made and easy to use

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

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.

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.

I love this and use it regularly. Mainly for soups as I needed an immersion blender and this is what I call it. It has many uses I read and I do make my shakes but I'm assuming it does many other things. Read the instructions and then decide to order.

Works great! I've used it for chicken salads and cottage cheese so far. Does not harm the container the food is in. Makes blending easy
