KitchenAid Cordless Hand Blender Review (2023) KitchenAid KHBBV53

Awards

• #5 Best Hand Blender
• #3 Best KitchenAid Blender

• → Best Cordless Immersion Blender

The “cord cutting” trend has finally caught up with the small kitchen appliances. A lot of products are going wireless including personal blenders.

I would say that it’s highly useful for devices such as an immersion blender. Without a cord, you’ll be able to use your stick blender more efficiently—that is as long as the battery is full.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For now, let’s talk about its good and bad aspects.

PROS

• Sleek aesthetics
• Mid-range budget
• Easy to use and perfect control with variable speed trigger
• Battery indicator
• Detachable with extra attachments for different uses (KHBBV83BM)
• Comes with pan guard
• Cordless for the best convenience
• Dishwasher safe (except for adapters)
• BPA-free
• 1-year warranty

CONS

• The attachments will need an extra space in your cupboard
• Full charge will take 2 hours, however you can do a quick 20-minute charge for simple recipes

KitchenAid Cordless Hand Blender Features

How does it perform?

The performance of the KitchenAid Cordless Blender is top-notch. For starters, it comes with a pressure-activated speed trigger that can be controlled by your index finger.

Traditionally the button is located on top or somewhere that requires intervention from your other hand. With this new ergonomic design, you can operate your stick blender singlehandedly.

Having the ability to move your hand blender freely will drastically improve the texture and consistency of your blend.

On another note:

Cordless appliances have two major flaws: Power and battery life. Fortunately, both of these problems have already been addressed by the brand.

The KitchenAid Cordless Immersion Hand Blender can reach its maximum speed, so that’s one less issue to think about. Its battery, however, lasts for only 20 minutes. 

But wait, let me tell you this:

20 minutes is actually long enough for most recipes. To put it into perspective, a full charge can help you puree 25 bowls of soup.

Here’s more:

This product has been thoughtfully equipped with a pan guard that will keep the blade from scratching your vessel.

Is KitchenAid Cordless Blender easy to use?

As I’ve mentioned above, the controls of the KitchenAid Hand Blender has been optimized for usability. It truly is a comfortable immersion mixer.

With the power button and speed trigger sitting on opposite sides, you can operate it with ease. It’s as straightforward as squeezing a stress ball.

To prevent accidental startup, it won’t start unless you’ll apply pressure on both sides.

Here’s the catch:

It takes two long hours to charge fully, so it’s a good thing to add it to your to-do list when dealing with recipes that require an immersion blender. Fortunately, there’s a 20-minute quick charge feature that is good enough for small batches.

Furthermore, the blending shaft is removable, making it exceptionally easy to clean. And as a bonus, it’s dishwasher safe!

Attachments & Accessories

The Kitchenaid Cordless Hand Blender comes in two variants, the KHBBV53 (standalone model) and the more expensive KHBBV83 (with accessories). 

Extra attachments mean more kitchen applications. You can replace the blending shaft with a whisk, or you can also get the food processor kit.

Here’s a thing: As of the moment, you can’t get these accessories individually. So, if you think that you’re going to need the chopper and the whisk attachment, get the bundle right away.

Chopper attachment

This can also be called a mini food processor. If you don’t need a full-sized one, perhaps this can be a better option. 

Since it’s small, you have to at least cut the ingredients to smaller pieces. By doing so, you’re “cutting” your blender some slack and extending its lifeline.

Here are the ingredients you can process with it: cooked meat, cheese, veggies, herbs, crackers, bread, and nuts.

Whisk attachment

Having this whisk attachment can rival your favorite hand mixer in terms of performance. It has the necessary power and capability to perform the same tasks.

Here are some recipes it can handle: Whip cream, egg whites, pudding, and mayonnaise.

Please note that the whisk may damage your non-stick cookware.
