This is an excellent stick blender It is my second Kitchen Aid stick blender, my first one lasted 8 years I bought a basic model this time and was disappointed that the attachments from my first blender wouldn't connect. (Thus the 4 instead of 5 stars)

Looking at the picture online AND the picture shown above, I was disappointed to find out the product was different. There was NOT a second mixing jar provided as shown on the website picture. I checked w/another retailer, (Q..), and you do receive the extra jar. This is the same model number. I am a Happy Kitchen Aid customer, but disappointed to say the least. I also wish more of a color choice, since they due make them. I received a KA cordless as a gift, but it did not hold the power in the battery. I returned for this corded model. I will update this review as I use all the attachments. Then again, 4 point blade???? Blade only has 2 tines, not a true 4 point blade. I have seen other models with the 4 tine blade. Again, another disappointment in my eyes. Just be aware, so far its a good product, but their marketing dept is closer to a bait-n-switch.

I really wanted to love this tool, but in the end, the motor is not powerful enough for the immersion blender function to work like I need it to. I've used immersion blenders for years to make homemade emulsions like “miracle whip” and mayonnaise, but this one just doesn't get to as high of a speed as what I've used in the past, and all the times I've tried to get this one to work, the emulsions break. I'll be returning this set since the immersion blender part is what I needed to function the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerful and sturdy, works amazingly for thick emulsion like mayonnaise.

I had used Smeg before, and this product is quieter than that, which I really liked. I also liked that you can adjust the speed according to the pressure of your hand using the push button.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love it but find the handle attachment a bit heavy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure if i have a defective unit or not, but this blender can't even work through ice cream and milk to make a shake. Not even a thick shake, as I tried 4 different times with varying amounts of milk. I have very little hope this thing could make use of the food processor attachment. My Cuisinart stopped working after only 2 years but it at least worked.

I bought this immersion blender as a gift for my wife, not sure if she has used it yet

A great kitchen appliance cooking healthy meals for one person

Very little power. It just takes up room and does not work well.
