The KitchenAid immersion blender is nearly professional in its design, and the great news is that it comes at a price anyone can afford.

A great tool to have around for chopping and pureeing foods quickly and cleanly. Many people compare it to much more expensive professional models in how well it does its job.

Features

The KitchenAid hand blender, is very powerful and has 9 speeds. Its power cord is 5 feet long, making it very easy to reach whatever you are trying to blend.

It can be immersed in liquids up to 8 inches deep, which makes it easy to make soups, drinks, and many other things without worrying so much about the depth of the liquid.

This blender also has a splash guard to make it less likely that the spinning blades will send anything flying out of the container you are working in. This makes it cleaner to use than some models, and definitely safer because you don't have to worry about hot liquids being splattered on you.

Advantages

This blender has many advantages to it. One thing many people mention is how smooth you can make things. It has 9 speeds that you can choose from, and these are easily controlled with the dial on the top.

The KitchenAid immersion blender has many optional attachments such as whisks and other beaters that you can buy for it. This makes the blender even more useful for the money you spend. To switch out these attachments, there is an easy release system that is just two buttons you push. This means that switching ends is faster and easier.

The handle on the KitchenAid immersion blender is made to be comfortable to hang onto. Many people have praised the ergonomic design, saying it is nicer to hold onto than similar products by other brands. If you have to used this tool for a long time, your hand is less likely to get tired.

A final advantage of the KitchenAid hand blender is that it is quiet. A lot of people who use it note how little noise it makes compared to similar items.

 

Disadvantages

The KitchenAid hand blender is a little cumbersome compared to some other hand blenders. This is something that most people get used to after the first couple uses, but it is something to keep in mind. It weighs in at about 2 pounds, and with it being 17 inches long, this may seem unwieldy to some people.

Another downside that has been noted is that the splashguard is metal. While this ensured that it is strong, it does mean that it cannot be used directly in non-stick cookware.

There is also no safety-switch on the KitchenAid hand blender. Precautions need to be taken with this device whenever it is plugged in, but this is no different from any other power tool.
