Amazon.com Review

A great gift for those with small kitchens, this hand-held blender and its accessories take the place of several larger appliances. Included are a regular blending blade (which can be immersed 8 inches into soup pots or deep bowls), a wire whisk for beating eggs and batters, and an enclosed chopper for nuts, cheese, and fresh herbs. Also included are a four-cup mixing beaker with a snap-lock lid, useful for storing blended ingredients, as well as a drawstring bag to keep all the components together. KitchenAid covers the blender with a one-year, hassle-free replacement warranty. --Ann Bieri

I learned a long time ago, if you go KitchenAid, you go for life. They make the highest quality, longest life products I have ever seen. This hand mixer is the third of its kind I've owned. I've had two of the Braun models and they died out after about a year of average use. I finally got the KitchenAid and it has been going strong for a few years now. I really like having the ability to go down to the bottom of a large pot, a full 8". Even though it is of substantial weight, it fits your hand like a glove. I found it far superior to the Braun, as a matter of fact, it doesn't even compare.

The plastic cup with lid makes an excellent accessory since you can mix and store without wasting time. The chopper is the most efficient I have seen, does a better job that a food processor. I especially like the multi-speed dial. It goes from 1 to 9 so it has the power you need, when you need it. Egg white or whip cream doesn't even challenge it, the whipping attachment makes sure of that. This baby handles like a pro. There are times when you don't need the big mixer and the immersion blender really fills in nicely. You won't be disappointed with the quality, power or its sleek look.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite appliance!, November 5, 2005

If you want to make smoothies, stick with your old fashioned standing bar blender; this blender is designed for people who cook. I use my hand blender every day, usually the little food processor attachment to chop steak for our baby or chop herbs from my garden. I also like to use that attachment to puree vegetables like broccoli so I can sneak them into food I know the baby will eat. The whisk attachment makes making waffles in the morning effortless; I just whip the egg whites in the included mixing container without even really being awake. The actual blender attachment is great for making sauces out of pan drippings and aromatic veggies, mashed potatoes, and fruit purees.

My favorite appliance!

My 30 year old GE blender/food processor combo broke a blade on the blender part and I could not get the part so I had to toss the blender container, leaving it as a stand-alone food processor.After debating on buying another countertop appliance, which probably would not be as durable as something made 30 years ago, I decided to give this blender a try. I've always liked KitchenAid products, and this one is no acception.

I was surprised at the power of this blender! The best part for me is it's easy to clean and takes up so little kitchen real estate. Making soups and hummus was a breeze. Whisking up egg whites was so much less painful than dragging out the mixmaster...just give yourself a big enough bowl or they will be all over the kitchen. The small food processing container is just the right size for 1 or 2 people. The variable speed lets me control how coarse my chopping is too. I did find that turning the entire apparatus upside down and sideways or shaking it helped in chopping everything uniformly...but it only took a couple of seconds.

I would have given this blender a solid 5 stars, but making smoothies with ice was not perfect, although once I got the technique down (moving the blender up and down and and around a lot to "attack" the ice) it was ok. It took more than a few seconds. If you drink a lot of ice blended drinks or smoothies, this job is done more efficiently on a good conventional blender. If you only will use it occasionally for this purpose, the KitchenAid will do fine. Maybe KitchenAid could come up with a special blade or container/blade combo for ice blending, I'm sure a lot of people would buy it, I know I would.

All in all, I don't regret my purchase at all. It's a versatile and compact appliance that will be with me for years to come.
