Our Verdict

KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender

KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is better than the KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender for most purposes. The Variable Speed makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, which is important for well-blended smoothies and soups. It's also quieter when it's running. However, the 5-Speed comes with more attachments for different purposes, which helps make it better for ice crushing and making nut butter.
