Not an Improvement
By J. Salvas
I was unfortunate enough to get this as a warranty replacement for my old KitchenAid immersion blender and this new model is worse than the old model in almost every way I can see.

The old model had nine continuously variable speeds. This one has three speeds and the highest does not seem as powerful as "9" on the old model.

This model comes with a 3-cup mixing cup. The old one held 4 cups. The cup's top also does not fit as snugly.

On the older model, you pressed a couple of buttons to release the attachments. On this one, the blender attachment twists on and the motor does not actually attach to the chopping cup at all. Instead, it just sits on top, which means you have to be careful you don't accidentally take it out while chopping. The old model also had a separate rubber base for the chopper. The new one has just a rubber o-ring on the bottom.

I'm sure all this was done as a way to get the price down, but we don't buy Kitch enAid based on price, do we? We buy based on quality. They seem to have forgotten that with this immersion blender.

Sadly, the KitchenAid website no longer lists the old model. If you can, buy one of the older models while they are still on Amazon. I'm going to give this one away and do that myself.

Just Not the Same
By Natural Awakenings
I like the previous reviewer, I was unfortunate enough to get this as a warranty replacement. I had the Handheld Immersion Blender KitchenAid KHB100ER1. That was a work horse and I absolutely loved it!! I got this in the mail the other day as a replacement and decided to test it before sending off my other unit. I put it in the beans to make refried beans and the thing barely moved. Not only that, but the thing popped out of the blender attachment. It barely cut through the beans at the highest speed. I was so disappointed. I had such high hopes. I contacted kitchen aid immediately. I requested that my old hand held be fixed and sent back to me. Unfortunately you can only do that at your expense. They say this is an upgrade from the old hand immersion which had a motor based upon wattage. Which means you get so many revolutions per minute based upon the speed you selected. This unit is not based upon wattage but a D.C. motor, which isn't based upon revolution s per minute based upon the speed you select, but on what you are blending. So, if you are blending a salad dressing at the highest speed it will whip right through it but if you are blending a thick soup it will slow down the motor so it takes you longer to blend it. It will do it but it sounds like its going to stop any minute. I am not sure about other people but I'd rather not have the motor decide for me if it needs to slow the revolutions per minute down for me. I spend alot of time in the kitchen as it is, I want to cut my time in the kitchen so I can enjoy doing other activities. Disappointed? Yes, absolutely. It was wonderful for Kitchen Aid to send me this upgraded but somehow cut back model as a replacement for a superior model it discontinued. If you have never owned a Kitchen Aid hand immersion blender before you might not notice. I would recommend the other model KHB100 while they are still available.

Oh yes and the quality is not as good. I t seems to be more plasticy and lightweight in comparison. It has a twist and lock method of connecting the attachments instead of a click and safety release button. The 3 Speed selector is more cheaply made. Even the blade looked smaller. Had I bought this for myself, I would have taken it right back to the store and got my money back.

Kitchen Aid offered the 5 Speed of the same Unit, at a cost of $50 Plus tax and shipping. For that money, I'll go buy the original unit I had ;-).

Not As Good As Other KitchenAid Products
By Robert Caputo
The basic design of this product is OK but is has one major flaw. The button to turn it on and off is way to hard to press and is fatiguing when using it. It has 3 speeds, lots of attachments and comes with a cool storage bag. If only the button was easier to push!
