KitchenAid KHBBV53 Cordless Hand Blender Functionality

This cord­less immer­sion blender with the blend­ing arm attach­ment has tremen­dous pow­er to per­form a vari­ety of tasks:

• Soups – it is designed to puree soups, and the user can do it direct­ly on the stove; the blend­ing arm is also equipped with a plas­tic guard to keep non-stick pans safe from damage;
• Smooth­ies – it is more than capa­ble of blend­ing smooth­ies from soft ingre­di­ents; it will not han­dle ice cubes, though;
• Sauces, sal­sas, dress­ings, and dips – it is great for mix­ing small batch­es of food, and the user can do it right in the Mason jar;
• Baby food – it is no prob­lem for this ver­sa­tile gad­get to puree cooked veg­gies and soft raw fruits;
• Whipped cream, choco­late mousse, or may­on­naise;
• Mashed pota­toes – it is capa­ble of mash­ing pota­toes while it is bet­ter to add some liq­uid; oth­er­wise, the mix­ture gets very sticky;
• Mix cakes are pow­er­ful enough to mix cakes and cook­ie bat­ter, etc.
• Chop veg­gies such as car­rots, onion, and gar­lic – how­ev­er, you have to pre-cut large veg­gies into small­er pieces;
• Chop cooked meat – cut meat into ¾ inches/2 cm cubes before processing;
• Chop nuts – Users have to use a puls­ing func­tion for these tasks.

Motor Unit

The KitchenAid Cord­less Hand Blender comes with a plas­tic and stain­less steel body and a com­fort­able grip. The body enclos­es 8 volts of recharge­able lithi­um-ion bat­ter­ies. It is also equipped with a bat­tery indi­ca­tor light that is locat­ed on the top of the body unit. This is a cord­less blender, and its pow­er is inter­pret­ed in dif­fer­ent wattage terms.

The blender bat­tery is charged with an adapter in two hours for a full charge and 20 mins for a quick charge. The ful­ly charged blender will oper­ate for 2 hours and can blend up to 25 bowls of soup with a capac­i­ty of 12 ounces. The quick­ly charged blender would have enough pow­er to blend 44 ounces of soup and 16 ounces of smoothie.

The bat­tery indi­ca­tor light is designed to show the blender’s pow­er capac­i­ty. If it has a sta­t­ic green light, then it has up to 30–100 % of capac­i­ty; when it starts to flash with red light, it informs the user that it is less than 30% and needs recharging.

Speed Settings

This blender has only two con­trol but­tons to oper­ate. The safe­ty switch on the front and the vari­able speed trig­ger the body unit’s back palm side. The safe­ty switch is designed to pre­vent acti­vat­ing the machine acci­den­tal­ly. The vari­able speed but­ton is pressed with the palm and designed to adjust the blender speed depend­ing on the firm­ness of press­ing it from light to firm push.

Attachments and Accessories

The KitchenAid Cord­less Hand Blender comes with only one but the most nec­es­sary attach­ment and a mea­sur­ing cup.

Blend­ing Arm/Shaft is a remov­able stain­less steel 8/20.3 cm mix­ing arm with a 4‑prong blade. The set also includes a remov­able plas­tic pan guard that is designed to pro­tect from scratch­ing the cook­ware dur­ing use.

Mix­ing cup – the blender set also includes the 3 cups/700 ml BPA-free plas­tic Blender cup with a lid and nar­row non-skid ring on the bottom.

There are also avail­able to buy the option­al acces­sories sep­a­rate­ly – the Cord­less 5 Cup Food Chop­per (KFCB529) and 7 Speed Hand Mix­er (KHMB732).

Assembling, Dissembling, Using, and Cleaning

Blender Shaft: Assem­bling and dis­as­sem­bling the blender is very easy; users just have to twist/untwist to lock/unlock the Blend­ing arm. There is no release but­ton; just make sure it clicks into place.

Using: To start the blender run­ning, the user has to press the safe­ty but­ton and the trig­ger but­ton at the same time. Then release the safe­ty switch and keep hold­ing down the vari­able speed trig­ger while the blender is run­ning. When the user releas­es the vari­able speed but­ton, the blender stops.

Although it is a bit tricky to press two but­tons simul­ta­ne­ous­ly, these but­tons are con­ve­nient­ly locat­ed, and once you learn to use them, it becomes intu­itive. Thus, you can effi­cient­ly oper­ate the blender with one hand.

Clean­ing: It is so easy to clean, just wipe the motor unit with a damp cloth and use mild dish soap to wash the blend­ing arm. Besides, the blend­ing arm, pan guard, and mix­ing cup could be washed on a top rack of the dishwasher.
