Our Verdict

KitchenAid KHBBV53

Crux Artisan Series Cordless Immersion Blender

The KitchenAid KHBBV53 and the Crux Artisan Series Cordless Immersion Blender have different strengths. Both are battery-powered, but the KitchenAid can produce a smoother puree with fibrous ingredients like broccoli or kale. It's quieter and easier to clean, and it does a passable job with thicker recipes like nut butter. However, it's not very well-built, and the Crux feels much sturdier. The Crux also comes with a whisk attachment for making things like salad dressing or hollandaise sauce.
