[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.] This hand blender is amazing, I wish I got one sooner. It's so easy to use and works really well and fast. It comes in handy when mixing cakes or whatever your heart desires. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

[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.

I love this blender!! I use it every day! From breakfast to lunch and almost always with dinner! The charge lasts for weeks! The fact that it's cordless is the big plus. No long hanging cord to get in the way ~ can easily be used when there is no outlet nearby (patio area).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I have the KitchenAid Mixer and love it do this was an easy purchase. We needed something we could use quickly without much clean up. This was the answer! The KitchenAid Variable Speed Cordless Hand Blender is great! It’s the perfect small appliance to have when needed to blend something quickly with little to no mess. We have already used this to make a few soups and protein shakes as well. The blender almost suctions to the bottom of the cup so there’s no fear of the blender coming out. It mixes effortlessly and we had no problem blending items such as tomatoes and protein powders. The blender is also very quiet and does not produce much noise. Some hand mixers we have used in the past were loud but this was very quiet. Extremely easy to use also, even for someone that doesn’t do much cooking! KitchenAid products look modern, sleek, and professional. Even the packaging the appliance came in was bold and had the signature KitchenAid design. This is one of the best handheld blenders we’ve ever purchased and I’m glad with went with a product name with trust.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and have used it numerous times. I really like that it is cordless and has the detachable blade unit. I have used this directly in a simmering saucepan blending my marinara sauce to delight. The detachable blade unit make clean-up a breeze.

[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.] The Kitchenaid Variable speed cordless hand blender is the best for whipping up a perfect smoothie , or creamy mash potatoes. The charge last a longtime and it is easy to keep clean. It has a guard to protect the blade when not in use. I plan on buying a few of the attachments it will help with making whipped cream. I would highly recommend this product even though it is a little heavy.

[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.
