Overview

A busy stovetop or a small apartment kitchen suits the KitchenAid two-speed hand blender, which blends soups and sauces right in the pot. A removable stainless arm, two speeds and a three-cup jar cover everyday blending.

Blending straight in the pot saves moving hot soup to a countertop blender, and the jar covers smoothies. Only two speeds and no extra attachments limit it to blending and pureeing.

Who it's for

Small kitchens and quick daily blending tasks are where a stick blender shines. People who want to whip cream, chop nuts or fine-tune speed should look at a model with more attachments.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Blends directly in the pot
  • Removable stainless arm
  • Blending jar with lid included
  • Covered blade limits splashing
Cons
  • Only two speeds
  • No chopper or whisk included
  • Corded use only

Performance notes

A DC motor drives the covered stainless blade, and pressing and holding the power button runs it while the dial sets speed. The covered blade cuts down on splatter, which matters most with hot liquids.
