KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Immersion Blender with Removable Stainless Steel Arm, Blending Jar & Pan Guard in Ice Blue

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This immersion blender is so convenient to use versus dragging out a blender. I am not disparaging other kitchen tools, it's much easier to grab the immersion blender from a drawer and it doesn't clutter my counter.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received this handheld a little more than a month ago. All I can say is why did i not realize bout these sooner. It has replaced my blender and my older regular beater. I have used it to finalize mashed potatoes, made cream of potato soup with it, have made cream of vegetable soup with it. It will not quit either. Even my regular blender had issues making some of the soups. And handy?? The unit stores in a drawer and the removeable mixer attachment makes cleanup a breeze. Plus using the variable speeds and being able to go right into the pot I used to cook in....

The hand blender itself works well and does the job as expected — no complaints about performance. However, a major downside is that you can’t purchase attachments separately. There is a whisk attachment available, but only as part of a full set. If you decide later that you want additional attachments, there’s no option to buy them individually — you would have to purchase an entirely new blender set. This is pretty inconvenient and wasteful, especially since the base unit works perfectly fine. It would be great if the brand offered attachments separately.

I love this immersion blender. The only part I'm not as pleased with is the pan guard. It does not stay on well.
