KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender KHBV53, Empire Red

This hand blender works really well and feels very solid. The variable speed control makes it easy to blend exactly how I want. It’s powerful, smooth, and blends soups, sauces, and smoothies quickly without splashing. I like the comfortable grip and the corded power—no worrying about batteries. Very happy with this blender.

KitchenAid hand blender can't be beat! So easy to use; low profile appliance can be tucked away for storage in a drawer. Stainless steel blades are a great value. Mix up eggs for scrambling, when finished, clean blades by mixing it clean in a bowl of soapy water -- rinse, let dry, put it away! Quick press button for easy release of mixing blade. I use mine so often that I bought this one and gifted this one to my sister. My current KitchenAid hand blender is now 4 years old!

I looked at quite a number of immersion blenders before I chose this one, and in fact, I bought another one, but returned it. First of all, I bought it in the red and it's absolutely beautiful! Looks like the race car of immersion blenders! But more importantly, it does its job perfectly too. I've had to have four oral surgeries in the last six months and I've been on soft food for most of that time and this blender saved the day. It blends everything perfectly. And you'll discover as I did that the container that you can do it in can be very small. It purées everything from soups to meat dishes, like pork chops and roast chicken and everything in between. I ended up using it on vegetables too, so that everything was really soft and I didn't have to chew anything. Therefore, I had excellent nutrition throughout the last four months. I love this baby and I'm so glad that I bought it!

Attach the blade, plug it in, plenty of power, a fraction of the cleanup. Much better then juicers I've bought in the past for quick smoothies. Blends the skin and all very well. Love this thing.

Durable and sturdy, does the job, looks sharp.

This is a great (mandatory?) gadget to have in the kitchen. It’s super efficient for blending soups, smoothies, and sauces. Plus it’s really quiet (at least compared to some other hand blenders I owned/tested), so you don’t feel like you’re waking up the whole house every time you use it. It’s easy to handle and feels solid. The blender guard is actually super useful to protect your pans and pots if you want to blend directly in them. Price point is good to for the quality. Definitely recommended.

Love this handheld blender. It gets the job done especially if I need to emulsify something and is great at making sauces!

This tool is perfect. It eliminates the fear one has liquifying hot liquids in a blender because there is no splash. It is quiet, thorough, and it is easily controlled. Just make sure that you unplug it before you come close to the blade. Unplugged, it is easy to clean under a faucet. The cord stores beautifully wrapped around the handle.

This is NOT usable in India. Shocking how this is being sold without clarity about voltage restriction. I bought it seeing such good reviews... but now I realize these are reviews from outside of India. The negative reviews are from the buyers in India. So misleading, dissapointing and a WASTE OF TIME!

I have been hand immersion blending for close to a decade on a daily basis and used 3 Cuisinart versions of their Smart Stick before this Kitchen-Aid brand and style. Comparing the 4 after many uses, and many cleanings, this Kitchen-Aid unit surpasses the others. Their one thumb, progressive multi speed switch is by far the nicest and easiest I have used. It allows for blending protein powder into hot milk in a large coffee cup quietly and effortlessly, but most awesomely is...cleanly! The earlier versions of the Cuisinart had some counter paintings going on with spraying, non-adjustable over-blends, but this switch pretty much eliminates any of those messes. Also, the Kitchen-Aid blade and bell design blends the same powder in the same liquid in the same cup much quicker than my last Cuisinart did. Another standout of the Kitchen-Aid is the stability of the blade shaft in the lower blade bell. There is very little movement and has a more solid feel with a better seal and a tighter tolerance. It's actually the reason my 3rd Cuisinart had to be replaced, it was just so noisy with the blade shaft vibrating like crazy blending simple liquid. The one aspect the Cuisinart is better for though, is their one thumb click switch to detach the blade unit from the motor body for cleaning. Simple, with no sticking or finicky wrestling to get them apart. Attaching was the easiest too, as there was no specific lining up of the 2 parts to connect the blade to the body, just insert and click. The Kitchen-Aid has an insert and twist to lock style of blade attachment and only connects in one aligned position. I'm assuming with it being new, the drive shaft insertion is still pretty snug into the upper blade coupling which results in a full, "2-hand wiggle back and forth with gingerly applied pressure" process being needed to get them apart. Too much pressure too quick will result in it letting go with a jerk and causing another possible clean-up. I expect over time this will become less wiggly to get apart, but only time will tell. This is easily overlooked though with that one thumb progressive On/Off switch, it's just so much better than the 2 thumb start, 2 hand to change the 2 preset speed switch on the Cuisinart. Thanks :)

Lasst euch nicht blenden von dem super Preis. Ich habe lange auf dieses Produkt gewartet, nirgends in der Artikelbeschreibung steht das es sich um einen amerikanischen Stecker handelt. Riesen Enttäuschung und sehr komplizierte Rückabwicklung. Hoffentlich bekomme ich mein Geld wieder. Total enttäuscht.

There is no information that this blender has a plug that works only in America. The price for returning is nearly three times the cost of the product. DO NOT BUY it if you live outside America. You lose money, as the seller make you pay for the return. Amazon is not protecting his clients as this is a lack of information from the seller.

I have been using this hand blender for over a year now and I am still very impressed with how well it performs. It is powerful and reliable, making it perfect for soups, smoothies, sauces, and even baby food. The stainless steel blade stays sharp and blends everything smoothly without any chunks. After a year of regular use, it still works like new. I love how lightweight and easy to handle it is. Cleaning is simple thanks to the detachable shaft, and the speed controls are very intuitive.
