Customer Review: A great blender and bling bling too!
Summary: 5 Stars
You have to admit, Kitchenaid did right when they released their line of color coordinated products. Two years ago when mom wanted to treat herself to a nice kitchen appliance, she stockpiled her gift certificates and watched sales at our local department store (Where my brothers always give her gift cards at christmas). One day I took her over (she was in her mid 70's at the time and didn't drive) and we bought an Empire Red kitchenaid stand mixer. With her senior citizen discount, gift cards, current kitchenaid rebate...she barely paid[...]for the mixer out of pocket. For a [...] mixer, she was elated. Mom loved that mixer and used it heavy during the last year of her life. Now that she passed and I've inherited the mixer with the kitchen, I'm in the process of outfitting the kitchen with the rest of the kitchenaid lineup, including this immersion blender, the 12cup food processor, and the 5 speed blender. I'll pass on the color coordinated toaster, toaster oven, and beater for now. :P
This immersion blender rocks for a few reasons. It may be a plastic handle, but the immersed part is stainless steel, as is the blade. It's Perfect for using right in the pot to give that butternut squash soup the velvety texture you can only achieve while blending it hot, without needing to dig out the traditional blender.
The bottom attachment detaches making it dishwasher capable, although I only hand wash my precious appliances like this. I don't trust the plastic housing in repeated dishwasher cycles. The unit has 9 speeds, which allows you to achieve the right consistancy/texture for the right job. You also have the option of buying two attachments for the blender...a single whisk or a chopping container. Both are nice, but I'll stick with my spice grinder to chop (or food processor with mini-bowl) and my dual beater hand blender to...beat stuff!
Aside from my dislike for the attachments, the fact you CAN put attachments on it, and this stick blender is very high quality construction with a speed knob makes it a great value for the money. You pay a bit more for kitchenaid products, but you also get your money back in the longevity of the product. my old immersion blender was a hamilton beach plastic piece of junk that broke after a small fall...the design rendered it completely useless if a small plastic peg breaks in the top of that machine. The design of the kitchenaid is a lot better! Also I trust a metal shaft to tolerate heat better than a plastic one of cheaper blenders.
This blender also came in empire red to match mom's stand mixer. I reccomend any color variants of this blender highly!
