The GrandDaddy of Hand Blenders!,
June 25, 2004: I have had a Braun handblender for many years (10 years?), and was pleased with its performance, until it finally lost its spunk last week. I bought this product yesterday as a replacement, and I must say I am very pleasantly surprised! This was a HUGE step up! I would even say that this is a professional quality gadget! (It is certainly styled to look the part!)
My favorite thing to make with my handblender is hummus – a mediterranean chick pea dip – and last night I made some the smooooothest hummus I ever made! This is in part because of the 9 speeds available on this model. I started out with lower speeds and then worked my way up to the top one. This is a large handblender, but it was comfortable and easy to use – lightweight even, and sure has a LOT of power. As with most of these products, it was a little difficult to clean the blades, but not a problem. (Really, the best way to clean it is to “blend” a cup of soapy water!)
There other models of this that come with attachments – that might be nice in the future, if I want to whip or chop using the attachments – but this basic model with the blender and the cup are all I need for most anything, and worth the price tag for the POWER you get from this brand! It’s true what they say – KitchenAid ROCKS!
UPDATE: yikes! I was blending bread into breadcrumbs (not toasted, silly me) and it got doughy and really thick and blew the fuse. If anyone knows how to fix that, please comment. I stand by my earlier glowing review – this incident was my fault!

|Quite useful, seems well made,
For those of you have have never had one, these immersion blenders are quite handy. They are easy to clean, and convenient to use. They also don’t take up much space; I keep my KitchenAid unit on the counter, and store the beaker in the cupboard where I keep glasses, with the blender attachment inside. It’s no fuss at all if you want to mix just a single drink. While a traditional blender is more versatile, if I had a choice of only one I’d go with the hand blender as being the most useful on a day to day basis.
This is the second immersion blender I have owned. I like this one quite a bit; it is powerful, but quiet. I’m not sure whether having 9 speeds is so important, I find I either use speed setting 1 or 9. Maybe they should make custom units that go all the way to 11.
One concern with a device like this is marrying a powerful motor to a removeable attachment. My first device (an Oster) chewed itself to bits, leaving metal shavings in my food (good thing I checked). The KitchenAid unit’s attachment has a good positive lock design which makes this improbable. A safety interock would have been better. The metal shaft of the blending attachment is driven by a hard plastic socket with slim splines. This means in the unlikely event of anything ending up in your food, you’ll have tiny bits of fractured plastic, not desirable of course, but preferable to long, razor sharp metal shavings. The socket looks like it could be replaced if necessary, but given the price most people would opt for replacing the entire unit over having it serviced.
One thing would be nice is if the guard around the actual blades was plastic instead of metal. Then it could be used directly inside nonstick saucepans for pureeing soup.
Conclusion: a safety interlock and plastic blender shield would improve this product, but overall it is well made, quiet and safe. Few things are made to last these days, but given how useful this device is, its a safe bet you will get your money’s worth.

|Cumbersome in the kitchen.,
Pros: This stick blender is mighty and powerful.
It’s stainless steel base and shaft make it easy to clean; and it doesn’t stain like the white plastic ones.
Cons: For normal kitchen use I found it awkward and heavy.
Nearly 17″ tall (with the switch at the tallest point) and weighing nearly 2 pounds, it is cumbersome. Considering that most countertops are 36″ tall, it is 53″ high when operating. That’s shoulder height or higher on most woman.
The power switch requires continual pressure to operate it, which adds more stress to the already too high, heavy device. It’s more comfortable if you put your mixing bowl (or included plastic container) down in the sink. This lowers the device considerably and makes it much easier to operate.
If you plan to keep it on your counterop (as I do) be prepared for it to fall over often, as it is very top heavy. I screwed a metal cup holder into the underside of my cabinet to “hang” its cord and keep it from crashing into every other appliance I have there. If it had come with a stand or wall-mounted holder, I would have rated it a 4. If you plan to keep it in a drawer, you will have no problem.
Overall, it’s a nice gadget, and certainly easier than cleaning a blender.
