[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to get the blender. I even made an excuse to use it. I have to say that I am not a fan. It is too heavy for me. It’s possible that I had to hold it longer than intended. I was using it to whip coffee. It worked fine but my arms wore out from the weight of it. I will try it again but for now, not a fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hand Blender charges quickly and has all sorts of power . I first used it to make mashed cauliflower and was surprised at how quickly it turned the cooked florets into mash. Blade goes into dishwasher so very easy to clean. My only complaint is that the wisk attatchment is out of stock.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my first KitchenAid item, a 5-quart stand mixer, back in 1994 and have added to my collection whenever possible because their items are so useful and well-made. I have an immersion blender from another brand that I often use for soups, but I loved the idea of a cordless one because it would be safer to use at the stovetop than one with a cord. First, KitchenAid did a great job with the packaging with a minimal amount of styrofoam. And this blender has a very useful snap-on guard to protect cookware from the metal head of the blender. This makes me feel much more confident using the blender in my enameled cast iron cookware. I hope that KitchenAid will offer replacements at a fair price. I plugged the charging cable in and juiced up the battery/ The indicator light turns green when the battery is fully charged. The blender has a decent heft to it with the battery, but it is well-balanced and comfortable. I especially like that instead of a dial control, the variable speed is controlled by the depth to which I press the finger grip button. It is very intuitive. The first time I used it to blend a pudding icebox pie. That was two full minutes of blending, and it performed beautifully with no protest. The filling was delightfully smooth. Next test on the same charge was pulverizing one cup of rolled oats for my husband's instant oatmeal. Instead of a mixing bowl, I tried to perform this task in the included mixing cup. This was not the best method, requiring several lifts and shakes to finish the task. The third test, which really impressed me, was chopping 2 dozen hard cooked egg yolks for deviled eggs. They became perfectly blended in under 30 seconds, and the blender has not started slowing down yet. Cleanup is a cinch - i squirted a bit of soap into the mixing bowl with some warm water and blended that. The included mixing cup has a narrow non-skid ring on the bottom, and there is even a soft plastic cover for it. The user manual refers to another model that includes a whisk attachment and adapter, as well as a small chopper bowl attachment. If KitchenAid is reading this, I hope they will offer the whisk adapter and attachment separately. With a whisk, I could completely replace my old immersion blender. So far, my only complaint/caution is that you need to take special care to make sure that the blending arm is firmly attached to the motor body. There is not a separate release button; it twists off. You need to be certain that it firmly clicks into place, or the blending arm can pop free of the motor body. All told, however, this is a very-well made blender that I fully expect will offer many years of service.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Kitchen Aid Cordless Hand Blender to make creamy soups and smoothies. It is so easy to use that I have tried a lot of different items to make smoothies. It will chop up ice pretty easy as long as you don’t put in too much at once. as it is cordless you can take it anywhere. It only takes two hours to come to a full charge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hand blender works really well for what its intended to do. I've mainly used it to blend up a few smoothies and it's worked great for that. It definitely is like a nice mini blender that can whip up some smaller stuff, but not ideal for bigger blending jobs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I I got the cordless KitchenAid blender last week and I immediately tried it in the kitchen while cooking blending my pasta sauce with vegetables if I want and it was super fast and amazing save me time and effort and I definitely recommend it for family and friends because it makes their cooking way more easier than before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great hand mixer and I love the fact that it has a rechargable base. You never have to worry about finding in outlet, which is a great plus. You also don't have to worry about using it only around an outlet. I also like the fact that you can buy other attachments, so it's actually a lot more than just a hand blender. I would recommend this product for any moderate cook!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and I'm glad I did, it was the appliance I didn't know I needed and now I'm glad I have it and I'm super excited that it's cordless. I made everything I needed for a week on a single charge. If you're debating on it just get it you won't regret it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this recently to replace a different brand bought in the 90's. The new one surpasses the old one in many ways but the battery operation is the best. I can quickly use and wash the blender and be on my way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In all my years of cooking I can’t believe I have never purchased a hand blender before! It is just so convenient. Tomato basil soup is whipped up in minutes. Kitchen Aid never fails. This has also helped out my mom who lives with me. When she makes refried beans it has been a great help to her since she has arthritis in her hands. No more mashing!
