KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender (KHB2571SX) Reviews

I bought this a month ago and have used it daily. Its is much better than any mixer and food processor I have ever owned. Highly recommend! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I like that all the blender components fit nicely in a single case. Excellent for storage. Seems sturdy and easy to use. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I got this after my last “home” immersion blender burned up earlier this year. Just in time as I was asked to make 5 gallons of marinara sauce for my brothers wedding! The unit has worked wonderfully at everything my family has thrown at it (French toast custard with the aerate head, smoothies in the blender cup, blending sauces, blending large sauces with the extended arm). This was the closest thing I could find to the commercial units I used in culinary school and it hasn't disappointed yet. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have had this device for several years now. I love the fact that food can be blended in pot without having to transfer it to a blender! So easy and convenient. It doesn't blend as well as a blender but pretty good unless you need a super smooth consistency. It is cordless which is wonderful, but my biggest complaint it that the battery life wears out way to fast! I have to keep the battery (which charges too slow as well) plugged in all the time). Luckily I have an outlet in our cabinet so the battery is hidden while charging. Cleaning the blender is a breeze!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have upgraded immensely by this purchase! I love the whipping blade and also the ice crusher. I can now do a smoothie to my satisfaction without hauling my huge Vitamix blender out of the closet. The carrying case is so professional and it will be fun to take it to a girlfriend's sometime soon for Ladies' Margarita Night! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We previously had a Braun hand blender and did not use it often because we found it wanting in power and options. We had other kitchen aid products and knew the quality of the brand. We received an email describing this 5 speed hand blender and after doing our research we could not find a comparable product for the price. Most hand blenders come with only one length of arm, this unit comes with two, along with three blades, and a whisk. The longer arm is great to get into my large pots to crush the whole tomatoes or other vegetables I want to chop or blend, where the smaller arm is just right for the included 4 cup pitcher or any bowel. One feature that we love is the included case so we don't go looking for the attachments. All the parts are made of metal no plastic except for the pitcher, case and 2 1/2 cup chopper. We have non stick pots and included in the set is a blade guard that won't scratch or mar the pot finish but is designed to be attached to the blade while in use chopping in these pots/bowls. Each blade also has a guard used while the blade is stored, that is great so you will not cut yourself. The actual motor unit is heavy which adds stability. The speed control on top of the motor is a little awkward to manipulate but after a while you get to know the speed you want and can set it before use. There is no on button per say, but you hold the pulse button as long as you need which gives you better control in my opinion. All in all this is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone in the market for a hand blender. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this blender a few weeks ago and have used it multiple times each week. So far, I've only used it to make shakes - it blends ice and frozen fruit with no effort. Awesome! Love the packaging too. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The hand blender works great and has a decent enough motor to get the job done. The chopper attachment is utterly worthless - doesn't open easily if you can get it open at all. Not worth the additional expense for the full set.

I bought this product a few month ago in Argentina (220v). I already have a professional mixer and a blender, excellent both products. I always loved Kitchenaid!! But the expensive hand blender doesn´t work. The chopper lost pieces of plastic and i didn´t note it!! I thing I ate it... The chopper does not chop parsley, it drags it, I guess it´s because the motor has very little power (180 w). And the hand blender... if I use it for something harder than tomato, it reheats very fast and the motor shuts down. And although I use it for tomato, the preparation is not homogenous as with my old moulinex (which had 600w of power). I called kitchenaid Argentina and they told me they only offer warranty for products bought there, but I bought it in Geobazar ... who are not to blame for the design problems. I was going to buy a food processor, but after this experience I will not buy kitchenaid products again. Very dissapointed!!

Easy to use and clean
