KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender with Accessories, Blue Velvet, KHBV83VB

I went with the corded version because usually the battery powered ones to have as much power and the charge doesn’t last long and I’ll never regret it. This is is fast, powerful, smooth, feels so nice in your hand. Doesn’t overheat and super easy to clean. KITCHENAID DOES IT RIGHT! Get you one!

I find this useful only for small batch blending. But of course, you can still do multiple batches just be patient because this needs a bit of cool down time. Though not as powerful as an earlier model that we got for Mom Fran years ago, this works well for my current kitchen prep needs.

My upgrade treat. Been using another common name brand immersion blender and it’s still working fine but wanted to upgrade as I didn’t like a few features of the one I’ve had for at least a decade.I wanted: no safety button/mechanism. Button that was easier to hold ergonomically as I process large batches for canning. Dual usage to eliminate all my kitchen gadgets.I love the one button (no safety), and it’s lighter than my previous blender. This makes it easier on my wrist. The attachment for the food processor is convenient and easy to attach. These are all easy to clean too.The pitcher that is provided works well to blend and measure pack into the pan. I put HOT pears in and blended quick.The only downsides IMO is the one speed, not too big of deal really. The reason for knocking a star off it, is because the quality of the blender. First use it is all marked up with scratches. I don’t see it lasting long. Overall I’m happy with the purchase.Last note: people complaining about the plastic guard… shouldn’t even be part of the package. I used the plastic pitcher to see how it worked but you really shouldn’t be sticking this thing in something you don’t want to scratch. Guarantee it has forever chemicals or plastic that shouldn’t be used for food processing (you’re ingesting that crap). Just my thoughts ✌🏼

Not as strong as the original kitchen aid immersion blender but I’m still a fan because of the color choices.

Why didn't I buy an immersion blender years ago? Instead, I was making soup and trying not to burn myself with a traditional blender. So good so far and easy to use. I don't use the other attachments much (the food processor cup is pretty small), but it's worth it even just for the main blender.
