Tammie Starks: We purchased this to blend soups so I didn’t have to use my blender. Works great!!
Just started experimenting with making homemade mayonnaise and it works amazing for this!!!

Sarah Crossland: Great little mixer. I had a cheaper plastic one but the surround melted in my hot soups.
This one is incredible and worth the extra money.

Jenn: I always love kitchen aid products and this works very well. I would like if it puréed a little smoother but this may be due to the type of vegetables I’m roasting and puréing into soups. I would recommend this item, if on sale at a better price.

Shawn: I was hungry. Ordered at 4:58, at my house by 7:45. Super simple and worked great for my broccoli cheddar soup craving. The pan protector is a nice touch.

Marc-Andre Brochu: This hand blender is incredibly user-friendly. I've used it for everything from baby food to pesto, and it's always a smooth process. The ease of cleaning is another big plus – a quick rinse under the tap and it's ready for its next use. It's sturdy yet light, making it a joy to use every time.

Graham K. Glover: This is a case where the product is as good as its name. It's a KitchenAid. Yes it's corded, not battery powered, but it works very well and it is powerful. I use it for blending crushed tomatoes for making a pomodoro sauce, and it purees the tomatoes perfectly. Tonight I used it for making a hollandaise sauce from scratch, using the blending jar that I thought I would never use. The sauce came out perfectly. It was light and creamy.

Criticisms? First, the blender arm is advertized to be dishwasher safe. In my opinion, do so at your own risk. It's easy to hand clean without submersing it completely. I'm sure the seals are good, but I want mine to last a long time. Second, the pan guard is a bit dodgy. It doesn't seat very well at the end of the blender arm. It's fine for occasional or rare use. If you think you need a pan guard, I'd recommend blending in something that isn't delicate. This blender is so good that I'd look for another blending vessel before going to a different blender. I would guess the only real issue is with non-stick cookware.

Would I recommend it? Yes! If I had to buy another immersion blender, I'd purchase this one again.

Smart Shopper: This has made canning & other DIY food processing a breeze! I’ve been making homemade Hummus, Mayo, & other dips which have been so much quicker with this blender! Its also made my tomato processing / canning less messy. Its super easy to clean too! Cant wait to use this for soup season!

JP: Not as high powered as others but that's OK. The big things are variable speed, quieter, higher quality. Tried a couple other brands - higher power is heavier, louder and variable speed is some other dial or includes a safety button that must be pressed first - awkward. Perfect to start slow and mix in the glass or cup the stuff is in. Little over-engineered on the business end. Stands-up nicely. Haven't tried it on soups etc.
