Customer Reviews KitchenAid KHB1231 2-Speed Hand Blender

I received it as a Christmas present , and I only had occasion to use it once when making a soup recently. It worked extremely well pureeing the potatoes!.

I bought this for a gift and now have ended up using it myself. I like it but sometimes have a hard time holding it and turning it on.

The only trouble I had was that the bottom came off once while using it. Otherwise it is a decent hand blender. I had to buy a new on as my Braun was 30 years old and plastic. I wanted a metal blender.

I have been using this immersion blender 5-6 times a week for the past 2-3 weeks, and it performs well. Also, I like the measuring cup that comes with it. My only complaint is that holding the on button (somewhat intensely) to run the device for 1-2 minutes at a time is relatively uncomfortable for a blender. I wish either the button required a lighter touch or there was a switch instead. Overall, still a good product.

I bought this to create a cream of mushroom soup recipe. Worked well for blending the soup. Happy with the blender.

This is a great product. I think there should have more attachments. Over the product is very good.

I love the hand blender. It's great. I only gave 4 stars because the pan protector wasn't in the box and it showed there should have been one. 5 stars if it wasn't for that.

I like it except the bottom edge of blender very sharp. Have to be very careful not to touch bottom of container for fear of damage from the blender. Also have to be ultra careful not to cut oneself while washing same area of bottom edge, not including the blade!

I have used this twice since I bought it and Love it so much! Makes cooking those hard to blend things a breeze!

I bought the blender and the manual said it should have the pan guard but it wasn't in there. Similar to a comment made 9 months ago.

Love this blender. So easy to use. Takes very little space to store. Does a great job!

I love the ease of the mixer. Use it to make smoothies.

I bought it to make soup worked great but the pot protector wasn't in the box after several try's to contact the company I just gave up

I bought this item to use to puree soups after my husband's dental surgery. I am pleased with it's performance. However, there was supposed to be an attachment that clipped onto the bottom of the blender to allow you to blend in a pan without scratching it. The attachment was missing from the box. How can a get one?

Received as a gift from my husband. I would have given it 5 stars, but I would prefer the power button sticks on :) But it's great for making frothy coffee and we will use with soups, smoothies, etc.

I've only used it a couple times but like the feel and how easy it is to use, looking forward in the using the attachment. Love Kitchenaid products

I bought this about a month ago to make and can applesauce and apple butter, I made lots of it and the blender made it so much easier and faster. It cleaned up very well and went back into the box to store for future use.

The last month I had my blender,I'm happy with my purchase ,so helpful.

I like it and it works well. I just wish you didn't have to hold down the power button the entire time you use it.

Glad I purchased this for myself. A great addition to my kitchen.

The first time I used it the bottom came off other wise it worked well.

My old hand mixer just died and this one had a good rating.

The best feature is that it comes apart for cleaning. My last one did not and it made it hard to clean. It handles well, comes apart to clean and is much less noisy than my last one.

I'm enjoying this hand blender for my soap-making hobby, not using it every day. I have another stick blender for my kitchen, and it seems easier to pulse. Love the colour. Love that it's detachable.

It's a well priced product and very powerful in what it does. Easy to clean and the grip to hold it is pretty strong too. A good addition to my kitchen.
