KitchenAid KHBV53ER Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender, Empire Red

This is NOT usable in India. Shocking how this is being sold without clarity about voltage restriction. I bought it seeing such good reviews... but now I realize these are reviews from outside of India. The negative reviews are from the buyers in India. So misleading, dissapointing and a WASTE OF TIME!

recently purchased the KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the product! The build quality is excellent, and it feels solid in hand. The variable speed control allows for precise blending, making everything from smoothies to soups a breeze. The powerful motor handles tough ingredients easily, yet it’s surprisingly quiet. Cleanup is also a breeze with the detachable blending arm. Overall, this hand blender has become an essential tool in my kitchen, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and reliable appliance! I used to blend Indian Punjabi SAAG.

This hand blender works really well and feels very solid. The variable speed control makes it easy to blend exactly how I want. It’s powerful, smooth, and blends soups, sauces, and smoothies quickly without splashing. I like the comfortable grip and the corded power—no worrying about batteries. Very happy with this blender.

Lasst euch nicht blenden von dem super Preis. Ich habe lange auf dieses Produkt gewartet, nirgends in der Artikelbeschreibung steht das es sich um einen amerikanischen Stecker handelt. Riesen Enttäuschung und sehr komplizierte Rückabwicklung. Hoffentlich bekomme ich mein Geld wieder. Total enttäuscht.

There is no information that this blender has a plug that works only in America. The price for returning is nearly three times the cost of the product. DO NOT BUY it if you live outside America. You lose money, as the seller make you pay for the return. Amazon is not protecting his clients as this is a lack of information from the seller.

I have been hand immersion blending for close to a decade on a daily basis and used 3 Cuisinart versions of their Smart Stick before this Kitchen-Aid brand and style. Comparing the 4 after many uses, and many cleanings, this Kitchen-Aid unit surpasses the others. Their one thumb, progressive multi speed switch is by far the nicest and easiest I have used. It allows for blending protein powder into hot milk in a large coffee cup quietly and effortlessly, but most awesomely is...cleanly! The earlier versions of the Cuisinart had some counter paintings going on with spraying, non-adjustable over-blends, but this switch pretty much eliminates any of those messes. Also, the Kitchen-Aid blade and bell design blends the same powder in the same liquid in the same cup much quicker than my last Cuisinart did. Another standout of the Kitchen-Aid is the stability of the blade shaft in the lower blade bell. There is very little movement and has a more solid feel with a better seal and a tighter tolerance. It's actually the reason my 3rd Cuisinart had to be replaced, it was just so noisy with the blade shaft vibrating like crazy blending simple liquid. The one aspect the Cuisinart is better for though, is their one thumb click switch to detach the blade unit from the motor body for cleaning. Simple, with no sticking or finicky wrestling to get them apart. Attaching was the easiest too, as there was no specific lining up of the 2 parts to connect the blade to the body, just insert and click. The Kitchen-Aid has an insert and twist to lock style of blade attachment and only connects in one aligned position. I'm assuming with it being new, the drive shaft insertion is still pretty snug into the upper blade coupling which results in a full, "2-hand wiggle back and forth with gingerly applied pressure" process being needed to get them apart. Too much pressure too quick will result in it letting go with a jerk and causing another possible clean-up. I expect over time this will become less wiggly to get apart, but only time will tell. This is easily overlooked though with that one thumb progressive On/Off switch, it's just so much better than the 2 thumb start, 2 hand to change the 2 preset speed switch on the Cuisinart. Thanks :)
