KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender KHBV53, Onyx Black

This KitchenAid hand blender is a workhorse! It's powerful enough to blend soups and smoothies with ease, but also gentle enough for purees. The variable speed control gives you tons of flexibility, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use even for longer blending sessions. The charcoal grey color is sleek and modern, and it feels really sturdy and well-made. I'm so glad I finally upgraded to this – it's made cooking so much easier and faster.

Very powerful, but you can run it at a low speed so you don’t overdo it. Works very well great brand great mixer. You can start it out very slow or mix things violently high-quality feels like a professional tool in the hand. Very highly recommended. Hope this helps someone

I bought this to blend squash in soups. I've used it a few times and it works very well. Clean up is simple, rinse it in the sink, then 'stir' some warm soapy water, rinse, dry. The plastic guard clips on easily and protects the pan surface. It came with some accessories; the seem nice, but I haven't really used them.One thing, this unit is NOT CORDLESS. I didn't notice that when I purchased it, so was surprised. The cord isn't a big problem, but if you do not have handy outlets, perhaps you'll want a CORDLESS version. KitchenAid is a good brand, so I expect long life.

I make my salad dressing and I love how convenient this is to use. Cleaning it is a breeze.

Can't believe it took me this long to switch over from my cheapo Walmart single serve blender. This thing work wonderfully! Makes great smoothies for us.

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.

The best of the best!!I’ve always wanted a blender like this one and it’s a dream come true, the quality, the speed, the color, the price (got it for 77dlls tax included)The salsas, hot cocoa, chimichurri, soups, even the vegetable meals I do for my dogbabies is not impossible for this mdfkr!!!

It's better than the one I replaced. I had another KitchenAid hand blender for years, but it died. We use it every morning for blended beverages and frothing. The first one came with a lot of parts and attachments. This one does not work with those! I was hoping it would, but it does not.I do love the button on this one better; the other one wore out quickly and left a lot of the internal workings exposed. I also like how the speed is adjustable by pressure on the button. The last one had the speed adjustment dial on the top, and once the markings wore off, it was hard to know how someone had it set, and we would have accidental adjustment changes that led to minor blending disasters.I love the color. I am thrilled with how well it blends.
