Hot Blending

Yes

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender (KHBV53) is an immersion blender that comes in various bright colors. It's the corded version of the KitchenAid KHBBV53 and has a trigger button to control the blending speed. It's meant for hot blending directly in a pot or pan and also comes with a 25-ounce beaker and lid for blending smoothies or small batches of sauce. Unlike many immersion blenders, it doesn't come with a whisk attachment but does include a pan guard to protect non-stick cookware.

Our Verdict

6.4 Multi-Purpose

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Hand Blender is passable for multi-purpose use. It's best for blending hot ingredients for soups, sauces, and purees. It's alright for smoothies since it doesn't make an overly grainy blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. However, it struggles to crush ice and isn't easy to use for nut butter.

Pros

Cons

6.7 Smoothies (Single Serving)

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Hand Blender is okay for single-serve smoothies. It does a good job of blending small batches of fibrous ingredients, so recipes with kale or blueberries aren't overly grainy. However, it's not easy to use to incorporate ice cubes into the mix.

Pros

Cons

6.8 Smoothies (Multiple Servings)

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Hand Blender is adequate for multiple servings of smoothies. Since it's a hand blender, you can blend in your own pitcher, which allows you to make big batches. However, it takes a while to blend larger amounts of ingredients and makes a somewhat grainy puree if your recipe includes something fibrous like kale. It also struggles to crush ice cubes. On the plus side, it's fairly well-built and very quiet for a blender.

Pros

Cons

4.9 Ice Crushing

The KitchenAid KHBV53 isn't good for ice-crushing. Unlike some immersion blenders, the blades can reach the ice cubes and crush them partially, but it's a tedious process, and the blender leaves big chunks behind.

Cons

9.0 Soups

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is fantastic for making soups. It's meant for processing hot ingredients directly in a pot or pan, and it makes a reasonably smooth blend with stubborn ingredients like kale or broccoli, especially when you're working with smaller amounts of ingredients. There's a pan guard included to help protect non-stick cookware. The blender is quiet when it's running and easy to clean by hand.

Pros

6.9 Professional Use

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is adequate for professional use. It makes a reasonably smooth blend with fibrous ingredients, which is helpful for recipes like smoothies and soups. You have a lot of control over the blending speed for an immersion blender, and it's quiet when it's running. However, some parts feel cheap, like the connection point between the motor body and blending arm. The motor body's bigger size also makes it tiring to hold onto.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The KitchenAid KHBV53 is available in 10 different colors: 'Onyx Black', 'Aqua Sky', 'Empire Red', 'Ice', 'Matte Black', 'Matte Charcoal Grey', 'Passion Red', 'Pistachio', 'White', 'Ink Blue'. We tested it in 'Onyx Black' variant, but expect our results to be valid for all the color variants. You can see the label for the unit we tested here. There's also a cordless version, the KitchenAid KHBBV53, but it performs a little differently, and we tested it separately.

If your model is different or you come across another variant, please let us know in the discussions, and we'll update our review.

Compared To Other Blenders

The KitchenAid KHBV53 is an immersion blender that comes with a plastic pan guard, a 25-ounce beaker, and a matching lid. There's a trigger-like button on the motor body that controls the blending speed, so you can push harder to blend faster, giving you more control over the speed than with most immersion blenders. This model is also particularly good at blending fibrous ingredients in small batches, producing a smoother blend than the KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender or the Vitamix Immersion Blender. If you'd prefer a cordless model, the KitchenAid KHBBV53 performs similarly and makes an even smoother blend with bigger batches of fibrous ingredients.

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender and the KitchenAid KHBBV53 have a similar design, but the KHBBV53 is cordless. It also offers a better blending performance, since it makes a smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients. It's quieter when it's running. However, you're limited by the battery life, and the corded model has a sturdier build quality.

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is a little better than the All-Clad KZ750DGT. It's sturdier, quieter, and comes with a beaker you can use for blending. However, the All-Clad makes a smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients, so it can make a silkier soup if you're blending in a deep pot.

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is better for most purposes than the Cuisinart Smart Stick Cordless Hand Blender. The KitchenAid is better for processing fibrous ingredients when you're making smoothies, soups, and sauces. It's also much quieter. On the other hand, the Cuisinart blender's cordless design is convenient, especially if you don't have an outlet near your stove.

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is a better blender than the Braun MultiQuick 9. The KitchenAid does a better job of processing leafy greens like kale and makes a significantly better smoothie. It crushes ice faster and comes with a bigger jar and a matching lid. On the other hand, the Braun has a much better build quality, and its blades are dishwasher-safe, so it's easier to clean.

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is better than the Bamix Mono M133. The KitchenAid does a much better job of blending fibrous elements like kale or blueberry skin, so it can make smoother soups and smoothies.

On the other hand, you might prefer the Bamix if you want a sturdier blender or if you want whisk and beater attachments for making whipped cream or mixing batter.

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is better than the KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender for most purposes. The Variable Speed makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, which is important for well-blended smoothies and soups. It's also quieter when it's running. However, the KitchenAid comes with more attachments for different purposes, which helps make it better for ice-crushing and making nut butter.

It has a long shaft that'll easily reach the bottom of most pots and dutch ovens. You can remove the shaft to make it easier to store.

It has an okay build quality. The blade shaft is made of stainless steel with a plastic top. In contrast, the transmission is made of cheap-feeling plastic. You can easily clip the blade shaft onto the transmission. The handle has a trigger-style button that increases the blending speed the harder you push. It's fairly small and compact, but it could become tiring to hold onto if you're doing a lot of blending. The beaker and lid are made of thin plastic.

Performance

Fibrous Ingredients Processing

Fibrous Ingredients Texture

It's decent for small batches of fibrous ingredients. Because it's an immersion blender, it's not the most convenient process since you need to hold onto the blender and move it up and down constantly in the mix. Still, it does a good job of processing fibrous ingredients like kale, producing a smoother blend than many immersion blenders we've tested.

Jar Used Included Beaker

Fibrous Ingredients Processing

Fibrous Ingredients Texture

It's alright for processing fibrous ingredients at full capacity. It takes longer to process larger amounts of ingredients, and again, it can get a little tiring to hold the blender for the several minutes it takes. In the end, it makes a fairly smooth blend, but it has some visible bits left over. The blender produces a smoother result when you're working with smaller batches.

Crushed Ice Preparation

Crushed Ice Texture

It isn't suitable for ice-crushing. The small downward-pointing blades can grip the ice cubes and partially crush them. However, it's not an easy process since you have to constantly push the blender into the ice cubes. Ice tends to build up behind the blades, and you need to clear them with a tool like a spatula or warm water.

Nut Butter Preparation

Nut Butter Texture

It's sub-par for making nut butter. It's a messy process since bits of nuts can go flying at first, and you need to pause frequently to clear the mixture off the top of the blade bell and from under the blades. The motor body also feels warm at the end of the process, which takes several minutes. In the end, it doesn't fully process all of the nuts but makes spreadable nut butter.

Noise @ Max Speed

87.6 dB

It's quiet for an immersion blender, so you can blend for longer without being annoyed by the noise compared to louder models like the All-Clad KZ750DGT.

It has a trigger switch that allows you to control the speed of the blender by how hard you push it. The harder you push, the faster it goes. You can also press the button in short bursts to simulate a pulse mode.

This blender is very easy to clean. Running the blender in soap and water takes care of some of the debris on the blades. You still need to wipe the outside of the blade guard and the blades with a sponge, but overall it's an easy process.

While many people find storing a blender in their kitchen to be worth it, the smaller (and overall less expensive) immersion blender can handle a lot of the same cooking tasks with less fuss. And while they may not be right for, say, big-batch smoothies or crushing nuts into butter (which takes a lot of force), they work totally great for emulsifying soups, marinades, dressings and aïolis and, yes, for making smaller smoothies. In fact, I found that it’s pretty common to own both a blender and an immersion blender — but that the ease of the latter is preferable whenever it can be employed. “I use mine way more than my full-size blender and food processor,” Simply Recipes associate general manager Emma Christensen told me. “It stores in a drawer and you can pull it right out. There’s no transferring. It’s much easier to clean.” No matter which model you’re drawn to — likely from one of the few brands that seem to dominate the market — Cristensen’s points ring true. The immersion blender? “It’s all about convenience.”

Some immersion blenders have set speeds, in which case I’ve listed the exact number you can choose from. Others have variable speed, meaning you control how quickly they’re whirring with a dial or button that moves gradually from low to high.

Most immersion blenders come with more than just one stick and blade. For this, I’ve listed all the additional attachments (whether that’s different styles of blades, whisks, or choppers à la a food processor), as well as any pitchers or cups that will give you a mini blenderlike setup.

Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender

$130

$130

Speeds: 15 speeds | Extras: Whisk, chopping bowl with blades, storage jar with lid

The majority of the experts I spoke to named the Breville Control Grip as their favorite immersion blender. With 15 speeds, it’s the most high-tech of the bunch. “It is on the bigger side,” says food writer and editor Alyse Whitney, “but it’s really powerful.” Food writer and editor Matt Rodbard has had his for more than five years. “For me, it’s just really brought a lot of utility when making soups and sauces,” he says. “Plus I love the way it feels in my hand.” Posie Brien, a recipe developer and writer for the food site 600 Acres, has had hers for even longer — more than a decade. “I love it,” she says. “It’s so easy to use and clean. It’s sturdy and substantial and the motor is great. I really think everyone should be using an immersion blender more often. It’s good for eggs — if you blend your scrambled eggs with one, they’ll be so much creamier and better. It’s good for smoothies. It’s good for sauces of any kind, really.” And no matter what you’re doing, the rubberized lip means it won’t scratch the bottom of any pots, pans, or bowls.

Plus there are all the attachments. “You can use the blender function to purée pumpkin or smooth out a custard for a cream pie, then swap it out for the whisk attachment to whip up some cream to top it with,” says Petra Paredez, the owner of Petee’s Pie Company in Brooklyn and the author of Pie for Everyone. “It has a cup attachment that lets you use it as a regular blender, too, so it can replace multiple tools that would otherwise take up a lot of space.”

Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender

$70

$70

Speeds: Low to high variable | Extras: Whisk, chopper, measuring cup

The Cuisinart Smart Stick, favored by two of the pros I spoke with, has a variable speed dial that takes the handheld machine from low to high. That’s actually one of the features Christensen likes about it. “The controls are really, really easy,” she says of the stick, which she has owned for about five years. “Clearly, it’s built to last.” Chef and author Virginia Willis can certainly attest to that too — she had an older-model Cuisinart immersion blender for 15 years and only recently replaced it with this one. “I find it to be such a great tool,” she says. “Especially when it comes to making soups, it’s so much safer and easier than pouring the liquid into a blender. Plus if you’re making something like refried beans, it’s easy to control going partway blended instead of fully.”

Mueller Ultra-Stick 9-Speed Hand Blender

$40

$40

Speeds: Nine | Extras: Jar, whisk, milk frother

The Mueller Ultra-Stick was a favorite of Strategist readers from a previous version of this article — and we can understand why. It has four and a half stars and close to 40,000 ratings on Amazon, with glowing reviews about the quality you get for the price. Many people noted the strong stainless-steel body and the force of the blade (it has a turbo speed setting for when you really need to kick it up). “At 500 watts, this immersion blender is more powerful than most,” says one. “The steel feels substantial, and the attachments are very easy to change.” Speaking of those attachments, the Mueller is the only one on this list that comes with a milk frother, a bonus if you like to make lattes at home.

Braun MultiQuick 5 Immersion Hand Blender

$65

$65

Speeds: Two | Extras: Whisk and blending jar

Cookbook author Julia Turshen uses her Braun immersion blender primarily for two tasks: making salad dressing directly inside a deli container (so she can store it in the fridge without dirtying two bowls) and blending soups, especially when she’s looking to purée just some to thicken the body. She appreciates the simplicity of its two speeds, which work perfectly for her needs without giving her too many choices, and she doesn’t “find the cord impacts my usage at all since nothing in my kitchen is terribly far from an outlet,” she says. “Most kitchens can probably say the same.” For two years, this straightforward model has held up great, Turshen says.

Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick

$90

$90

Speeds: Two | Extras: None

For an even simpler blender that also has two speeds but doesn’t come with any attachments, this Cuisinart model is all you need. In 2017, Strategist contributor Hannah Howard said it “changed he5r life” — and all these years later, she still feels the same. When originally surveying the immersion-blender landscape, Howard saw that many came with fancy attachments and extraneous features, like bendable arms, and usually went for upward of $100. She wanted something simpler, so she settled on this extremely affordable unit. “What I love most about it is that it just has two speeds,” she writes, noting that she uses the lower one for things like pesto and the higher one for smoothies and purées. “It has 200 watts of horsepower, which is plenty for a hand blender.” And since it weighs about a pound and a half, it maneuvers easily into all sorts of pots, bowls, and jars (and fits in Howard’s “tiny Brooklyn kitchen drawer”).

KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender

$150

$150

Speeds: Five | Extras: Whisk, chopper, pitcher, three different bell blades

Though it has fewer speeds than the Breville, this KitchenAid model has always been flexible enough for recipe developer and cookbook author Jessie Sheehan. “It’s a tool you might not think you really need, but it’s actually super-helpful,” she says. “I have a salad-dressing phobia — I always want other people to make it for me. But this really helps. I can make mayo or a fruit compote, or I can whip egg whites for baking with the whisk attachment. We have a Vitamix we use when we’re making smoothies en masse, but it’s nice to be able to make smaller portions too.” One of the attachment bell blades that come with the 5-Speed is, in fact, meant to be especially efficient at crushing ice. “It’s easy to use, and the cord has never been a problem because it’s quite long,” Sheehan says. “Plus it’s not crazy expensive.”

GE Immersion Blender

$83

$83

Speeds: Two | Extras: Whisk and blending jar

The GE Immersion Blender comes recommended by Richard Rea, executive chef at the Butcher’s Daughter, who uses one at home and in his professional kitchen. In the latter, he says he probably uses it even more than the commercial model they also have on hand, pulling it out for creamy soups, cashew ricotta, hummus, and all types of salsa. “It’s very strong,” he says of the powerful motor and super-sharp blades. “It breaks through nuts — even some big, bulky blenders don’t do that. And it’s super lightweight and doesn’t make much noise (a little hum, but that’s it).” Rea has had the blender in his restaurant for two years (with daily use), and it’s still performing beautifully.

KitchenAid Corded Variable Speed Hand Blender

$60

$60

Speeds: Low to high variable | Extras: Blending jar with lid, pan guard

I’m a fairly recent immersion-blender fan, but so far, this KitchenAid model has performed great. Like Turshen, I’ve used it for bigger-batch salad dressings (it emulsifies a large amount quickly) and soup. In the latter case, I’m especially appreciative of the pan guard, which fits snugly around the appliance’s sharp metal cage but still allows the blades to whir freely. When I’ve accidentally touched the bottom of my beloved Dutch oven, it doesn’t leave a scrape. Another bonus: I own the black, but it comes in nine colors, if aesthetics are important to you.

All-Clad Stainless Steel Cordless Hand Blender

$149

$159 now 6% off

$149

Speeds: Five | Extras: None

Gaby Dalkin, the cookbook author and blogger behind What’s Gaby Cooking, has tried a lot of different immersion blenders over her 13 years as a recipe developer — and she says this is the best one she’s ever used. The main reason is that it’s cordless once you’ve finished charging it in a dock, which is especially useful for anyone who doesn’t have an outlet right next to their stove (as blending soups is one of the main functions of an immersion blender). It also means there’s nothing getting in the way, ever. Dalkin charges hers once a week and is able to use it several times during the subsequent days before returning it to the dock (though she says it definitely would last even longer for home cooks). And while it might be a stretch to call any immersion blender particularly stylish, this one has a stainless steel body with no visible plastic parts, giving it a sleek look — so much so that it’s one of Dalkin’s most-asked-about products when she does an Instagram live-cooking demonstration, she says.

In addition to her Breville, Whitney has this cordless immersion blender. Although it also comes with a pan guard, its standout feature is that it’s battery operated. “It’s helpful to not have a cord when I’m blending soup in particular,” she says. “You just charge it up like you would anything. And the charge lasts for a really long time — 25 uses, according to the website. I definitely don’t charge it very often.” Instead of a dial, this one has a variable speed button, which Whitney says is very straightforward.

Additional attachments and various accessories turn the mixer into a multifunctional device for the most complex culinary tasks. With their help, you can cook real masterpieces from meat, dough, vegetables and fruits! That's why professional chefs around the world choose Kitchen Aid mixers and attachments!

Whisks

One of the most important mixer attachments as it beats different types of ingredients best of all. With a whisk, you can easily prepare meringues, butter-based creams, milkshakes, whipped cream and other “airy” mixtures in seconds.

Spatulas and hooks

Mix ingredients evenly and help prepare dough for biscuits, cakes, muffins, biscuits, breads and other baked goods. Their special shape ensures efficient use of the entire volume of the mixing bowl.

Hooks are used for kneading hard doughs such as yeast. Spatulas - for mixing creams and batter (for bread, pizza, pasta). The paddle with a flexible edge is especially convenient - during operation, it collects the dough from the walls of the bowl to ensure it is evenly mixed.

Nozzles - mills

This accessory will quickly and efficiently prepare natural, healthy, homemade flour. Used for grinding non-oily grains or legumes with a low moisture content. As a result, you can get oatmeal, rice, corn, barley, buckwheat, wheat flour of your own grinding or prepare your own baking mixes based on them.

Meat grinder attachments

They help to achieve the perfect consistency of minced meat depending on the dish, as well as quickly chop and grind food. They make the best pub burgers, burgers, falafels and meat sauces. In addition to meat, fish and poultry, you can grind hard cheese, vegetables, nuts.

Sausage attachments

Designed for making homemade sausages from any kind of minced meat. Thanks to the different diameters, you can cook anything from small breakfast chicken sausages to large Italian sausages with herbs and seasonings.

Strainer attachments

Used for straining vegetables, fruits and for smoothing mashed potatoes. With them you can make savory soups, desserts, jams, sauces, mousses, natural baby food.

Cutters

Cut, shred, dice or shred soft and hard foods. The thickness of the cut is regulated by an external lever, and it can be changed without stopping the operation of the mixer.

There are slicing attachments that can make long, flat slices of courgettes, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, apples and other vegetables or fruits. With them you can cook vegetarian lasagna, vegetable rolls, unusual snacks and sandwiches. The thickness of the plastics is adjustable.
There are also spiralizers with the function of cleaning and spiral cutting. They are able to cut vegetables and fruits into thin curly ribbons. With them, you can make a gluten-free and carbohydrate-free version of noodles or pasta.

Pasta attachments

Unique accessories for working with dough. They can roll out, press and cut dough for any kind of pasta and ravioli.

With the pasta press you can make your own spaghetti, bucatini, rigatoni, fusilli, large or small pasta by simply changing the pasta plates.

Ravioli nozzle - forms a ribbon with the filling sealed between two layers of dough. It will make excellent meat, vegetable, fruit, cheese ravioli. They are shaped by means of two rollers, gripping and pressing the sheets of dough.

Juicer attachments

They make not only juices, but also unusual herbal sauces, fruit purees and jams. Three squeeze filters allow you to get different textures at the output: pure juices without pulp, light and thick sauces, purees and jams.

Ice Cream Bowl

Bowl and special whisk set to help you make the perfect homemade dessert. Volume 1.9 liters. The bowl consists of two layers, the space between which is filled with a special liquid that accumulates cold. Before cooking, the bowl must stand in the freezer for 15 hours.

Additional nozzles and accessories for Kitchen Aid mixers are made of steel and durable plastic. Most of them are dishwasher safe. They are simply installed on the mixer and can be easily removed after the job is done.

Kitchen Aid Russia. (KitchenAid) KitchenAid 5KHB2571 Immersion Blender Review

Continuing the Kitchen Aid review series (see Hand and Planetary Mixers), I'm showing you the 5KHB2571ER Immersion Blender.

Contents

Kitchen Aid surprised even me this time. In a large narrow box there were two containers for whipping and this:

A full-fledged strong suitcase in which all the components of the blender are neatly laid out in their places. I can’t even imagine how much the functionality of this blender is expanding, or rather, the scope. You can safely take it to visit if you are planning a joint party with cooking, to the dacha, where you can use it to puree freshly picked berries, you can take it outdoors if you plan to cook some kind of barbecue sauce and so on. It is unlikely that all of these scenarios would fit a blender without a suitcase, simply because it would be time-consuming to pack each nozzle and blender separately and, most likely, you would have abandoned the idea altogether.

I liked that all parts are firmly fixed and always in their places, lovers of total order - put a tick.

Attention to detail

I am especially excited about the process of studying a new product, as well as the manufacturer's attention that he pays to trifles, often this distinguishes him positively from the general mass of similar products. Kitchen Aid is an extremely worthy technique in itself, but engineers and designers do not stop at the basic parameters and go further. This is a sign of the quality of any brand.

So, the first thing is the case. Sturdy, with a good comfortable handle and legs on the bottom. All parts are firmly fixed in place. This, by the way, is convenient - you quickly get used to their location.

The blender itself is a small building kit. It works like this: there is a main base unit (red), in which the actual mechanism and controls.

Further attachments or adapters are attached to it. Here is the idea. You can attach a whisk attachment. I have a complaint about it - a plastic case. It is used as a simple but powerful whisk - different sauces, oxygenation of proteins, mixing liquids and so on. It's good for her to beat an omelet.

And you can attach nozzles (20 and 33 cm) - they act as adapters between the blades and the control unit. It is very convenient that there are two of them. The extended one is suitable for a larger volume of liquid.

All elements are interconnected by a rotary mechanism, for this there are triangle marks everywhere, put the nozzle on the block, turn it so that the triangles converge - the mechanism is connected.

Blades and nozzles are also connected. Everything happens very quickly, both during assembly and in reverse order.

Comes with two bowls, one for chopping a small amount of ingredients. Please note that the blades are initially covered with plastic so that they do not get damaged or dull. It would seem a trifle, but the manufacturer thought about it.

On the side of the bowl there are measured divisions, they are not superfluous at all. And at the bottom there is a rubber ring, the bowl will not slip on the table and other surfaces, and it will not scratch anything. It's impossible to complain at this point.

This is what a blender with a chopper bowl looks like.

The second bowl is taller, also with divisions and a rubber ring at the bottom. Comes with a rubber lid that seals the contents tightly.

The rubber lid is designed so that by removing the plastic part, you can grind / blend with a blender in a bowl, avoiding unnecessary splashing. And the plastic plug itself also has divisions. That was a pleasant surprise. I won’t say that I will use it, I have a lot of measuring spoons and cups, but the attention to the details of the manufacturer pleasantly surprised me.

The design of all blades has rubber seals, they are more reliable than plastic ones (do not crack) and well protect internal parts from moisture and dirt.

If you carefully looked at the contents of the case, you probably noticed that all blades come with plastic caps. They protect both your hands from accidental cuts and the blades themselves from damage. They are fixed tightly and are conveniently fastened.

And now, perhaps, you will be surprised. There is another "cover" - a protective nozzle for the blades. It protects your dishes from scratches. It's one thing to puree soup in, say, a metal saucepan. But if you decide to do it in a painted container or a bowl with a fragile coating, this is where this part comes in handy.

To be honest, until I read the instructions, I couldn't even figure out why. It was clear that he was fastening himself on the blades, but for what. Here I would put two ticks to the manufacturer.

The blender is easy to operate. The power button is a large rubberized surface. The blender works only while you keep your finger on the button - for safety reasons, if it suddenly slips out of your hands, it will instantly turn off. Well, you can use it without wiping your hands, everything washes perfectly.

And the speeds themselves are switched by turning the upper part of the housing. There are 5 speeds in total, you can set them both in advance and during whipping. The mechanism is tight, which prevents accidental turns.

It feels like already the third speed turned out to be more powerful than my previous blender.

Features and Operation

Blender has 5 speeds, advertised power 180 watts (continuous). It works very quietly, sometimes I heard the sound of chopping vegetables more than the operation of the blender motor. Unusual sensations and very pleasant. In this regard, Kitchen Aid appliances generally stand as a separate bastion, all the appliances that I use are much quieter than their counterparts.

The number of attachments and modifications initially puts you in a stupor, you start to think that you still know absolutely nothing about cooking - each attachment and blade are designed for their own purposes. Not spoiled by ordinary blenders, we are surprised to see such a rich set. One thing is clear, over time, you get used to the set and you can’t imagine how you used to solve problems with one nozzle or with different devices (take at least a whisk for whipping).

All nozzles and parts are metal (except the whisk), the main block is plastic with a large rubberized surface, thanks to which the blender lies firmly in the hand, does not slip.

The weight of the blender is just over 1 kilogram, it is a completely comfortable weight, the length of the cord is 1.5 meters. By the way, there is the same one without a wire (remember “Is there the same one, but with mother-of-pearl buttons?”), In this case, there will be a charger in the kit, and the price is slightly higher.

I liked the case, in which everything folds tightly and neatly. It takes up little space, all the details are in order and are not lost. I'm thinking of abandoning the old measuring cup, because now there is a full-fledged liter from Kitchen Aid with a lid and a spout. Saving space, expanding the overall functionality is cool.

Grinds and purees the blender very quickly and easily. It is convenient to use, and the weight is comfortable and the wires are enough to freely maneuver between the working surfaces of the kitchen.

Detachable attachments allow you to cook several dishes at the same time without having to wash the blades.

Impressions

After my previous blender burned out (this was the second bad experience), I realized that it was time to look towards semi-professional blenders. The Kitchen Aid immersion blender is just that. It is used by chefs in many restaurants around the world, and they know a lot about spending money wisely on reliable tools.

It does everything you want it to do, but it gives you more: a stunning package, rich features, quiet operation at high speeds, and the manufacturer's perfectionist attention to detail.

The devil is in the details, Kitchen Aid's engineers and designers outdo other manufacturers in this matter.
