| So much easier than off-loading hot soup into a food processor or a blender. Very simple to use, makes pots of carrot soup, potato soup, zucchini soup (you get the idea) faster and with less mess than I had thought possible. HOWEVER, IT BECAME UNUSEABLE AFTER ABOUT 7 USES. THE PLASTIC DISK BEHIND THE BLADE CAME LOOSE. IT SLIDES DOWN THE STEM AND GETS IN THE WAY OF THE BLADE, BECOMING A LITTLE MORE TATTERED WITH EACH USE. I just hope that I have made at least $50.00 worth of wonderful soup and that my family hasn't gotten a wierd disease from ingesting small chunks of grey plastic. I am editing my previous review but Amazon won't let me change the number of stars from 5 to 2. |
Wow, incredible product

I used my new Kitchenaid immersion blender for the first time today. Compared to my other major name brand blender this one is superior in every aspect. Power, size, ease of use and durability. As a former chef and still loving the kitchen,
I am in total awe of how incredible this product performed. The attachments that were included for the price is fantastic. Delivered prior to my expected date as well. Kudos. |
Finally, a hand blender that doesn't suck.

| I am a Kitchenaid fan from now on. This blender is killer. Much better than the other two I tried. Even chops ice well. And best of all, it doesn't break or spew rotten drink out later from the inside. I think I've had it 3 or 4 years now. Excellent purchase. Now, would the Ultimate Chopper fill a niche for me...? |
Highly reliable and powerful

| This hand blender is great...my previous one just sat in the cabinet all the time because it wasn't at all efficient. This one is worth the price for the power it provides; it purees soup like a dream. The sealable blending container it comes with is very handy as well. |
Works great for frozen berry smoothies and for baby food!

| After owning this blender for over two years and using it considerably I am confident that it is serving me well. I use it daily during summertime and less often otherwise. Works well for many tasks including frozen berry smoothies, blending hot soup in the pot, and blending/pureeing baby food. I have to say that I've taken gentle care of it by hand-washing immediately after each use. Holding it in place when blending frozen berries takes notable effort, but it doesn't bother me. |
