Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid KHB100OB Hand Blender, Onyx BlackCustomer Review: More powerful than expected! Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I had this sooner. I make shakes EVERY day, and the process of cleaning all the parts of the typical blender was driving me crazy. If you figure 5 minutes to take apart, clean and put back together those things, every day, I was losing 2 1/2 hours of my life each month making my morning drink! With this blender, I blend my drink, pop the blade shaft off, rinse it under the sink, and I'm done with the drink and cleaning in about a minute!
The main purpose of this blender for me is, as I said, my breakfast drinks. I'm sure it does a great job mashing through tomatoes and fruits and whatnot for soups and milkshakes (I've used it once for a milkshake, and it could make one so thick I could turn the glass upside down). The 9-speed high setting is so powerful you have to hold on to your glass because it'll spin 100rpms! I've found that the 1-3 settings are perfect for blending bananas, with the higher setting reserved for really thick items, like nearing the end of making your thick milkshakes.
The product itself is heavy for its size, but not that heavy to be uncomfortable. I can imagine it being a burden if you were holding it for 5-10 minutes at a time, but when it takes 1-2 minutes to mash potatoes or blend your soup, you shouldn't have to complain much. The sturdiness and heft really gave it a quality I didn't expect from such a low-price appliance.
This blender comes apart at the middle by pressing in 2 release knobs. There is one main power switch that you need to hold down (for safety reasons) to keep active. This is the only complaint you may have on this product. I'm an average-size man and don't have a problem with using this, but I could imagine a petite woman (or someone with arthritis) having trouble holding down the power button for long periods of time.
I paid $25 for this, but I would have been happy paying $50. A great steal for me, but a great product at either price. If you're in the market for an immersion blender, you won't regret this purchase.
