Our Verdict

KitchenAid KHBBV53

KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender

The KitchenAid KHBBV53 and the KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender have different strengths. The KHBBV53 is cordless, which you might prefer, and it can produce a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, so it makes better-blended soups and smoothies. However, the 5-Speed comes with a lot of accessories and attachments, including a food processing bowl and an 'S-blade' assembly that helps it do a better job of crushing ice than most immersion blenders.
