[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this. As I've been changing my diet, this blender works for well for shakes and power drink mixes and with the cup its an added bonus.. I have just started with the soups and I'm obsessed. The blender is light weight and its easy to clean and compact enough for travel for when I visit my sister and doesn't take much space in the kitchen. Win for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this kitchen aid so much. I can use it for many things (puree, mix, ect...) and it's cordless so it doesn't get tangled up with anything. It has a guard on it too that keeps my dishes safe. The battery life holds up surprisingly well and it's lightweight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hand blender has been great for small batches of salsa because I can make it right in the mason jar it'll be stored in making for less dishes to wash. I was a little worried about about how much it would actually be able to blend being battery operated but it packs quite a punch. It's been great using it to blend stuff directly on the stove without having to worry about running a power cord across a hot stove top. I also like that it comes with a plastic guard to keep nonstick pans safe from scratches.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting an immersion blender for a long time after having bought one years ago just for protein drinks. I have a Vitamix but when I make soup, it is really tricky to transfer soup to the Vitamix to blend up portions to make it creamy. Also, the Vitamix has a tall container and it is hard to chop up small portions. That's where the Kitchen Aid Cordless Blender comes to the rescue! I love that it is cordless, one less thing for me to get tangled up in. It works fast, is intuitive to use, and I also love the blender cup for small chopping tasks. I have carpal tunnel and arthritis in my hands, but the blender is not too heavy for me to operate. It does have some weight to it, so be advised. I trust Kitchen Aid and have an awesome convection oven from them that has been going strong for 25 years and other appliances. I expect this appliance to work for a long time and to hold its value just like other Kitchen Aid products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm happy to write this review since I love shakes so this is the best hand blender that I have purchased by far. It has a soft grip handle which is nice. It also came with a measuring pitcher so I can measure my ingredients before blending it. Now I did try this to make some homemade spagetti sauce also and yes it works great. It will whip a egg up fast. This is great to also make frappuccinos. If you buy this you will not be upset. I will only be purchasing this brand for now on. I like how heavy duty it is so the battery will last you a long time for big meal projects. I would recommend to every chef or home cook. I have already told family about this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Build nice .alittle on the heavy side because of the battery. I like that there are no cords ( only 1 to charge ).we used it to make milkshakes . I added bananas..very easy to use. Easy cleanup! Didnt make a mess ! A+ for this mom

[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 have many KitchenAid items, and this is one that I was missing from my collection. I am especially excited about the fact that it is cordless, and has a long battery life. My kitchen is rather small, and sometimes it is hard to be near a plug while I am working, so this is incredibly convenient. When I opened the box, I immediately felt the great quality of this blender. You can feel the solid craftsmanship. I like that it comes with a cup for blending in, but also includes a lid for fridge storage. It did come with some charge right out of the box, so I tested it on some bananas, which I need for a cake I'll be making. My pile of bananas were mashed in a matter of seconds, rather than the time it takes to smash them by hand with a fork. I am very happy to have this as a part of my kitchen tool collection, and cannot wait to find other ways to use this hand blender!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially was considering picking up the all-clad cordless immersion blender, but opted for kitchenAid on history with brand and cost. Things that keep this from being a top-starred purchase: power, guard, and ease of usage. I make soup and smoothies primarily with it and it struggles with fibrous fruits like pineapple or chunks of frozen fruit. The guard was a struggle to get on the blade and the instructions weren’t clear for its usage - ended up having to go to YouTube to see how to get it on. It’s usage requires pressing the lock button AND the power button in order to use it and if you have a smaller hand the double button usage may be difficult. Also, the battery indicator is either green (power) or red (dead) with a lack of gradation or percentage view you will need to essentially charge after usage to ensure you have enough power and it doesn’t die mid usage.

I bought this cordless hand blender 2 months ago and I basically use it to make my baby's food. Very bad experience because 2 days ago I realized blender arm plastic attachment is breaking and not only that I saw a piece of plastic in my baby's food before giving it to him. VERY dangerous. This part should be made out of Stainless Steel. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS product even though All my appliances are kitchen aid and I belief is a great brand!
