KitchenAid's hand, or immersion, blender now has two speeds, the better to blend, puree and crush. The soft-grip handle gives this hand blender an added comfort level when blending in a saucepan, glass, jar, bowl, or cup. The detachable stainless-steel blending arm can be immersed in up to 8" of liquid and features a simple twist-lock for easy assembly and removal. The five blender blades and the quiet, but powerful, motor make quick work of soups, sauces, baby food, guacamole, and more. A five-foot power cord gives you the range to operate almost anywhere. The blender includes a 3-cup blending jar with a snap-on storage lid.
