Owners and experts agree that the KitchenAid KHB300 is the best hand blender with attachments, a good pick if you want to do more with your stick blender than basic immersion blending. The four-piece chopper attachment is perfect for chopping small amounts of herbs, vegetables, fruits, cooked meats, nuts and cheese; it also comes with a stainless-steel whisk and 3-cup plastic mixing jar. Owners are enthusiastic about this hand blender's nine speed settings and extra-long power cord. KitchenAid offers this hand blender in white, red or black and backs it with a limited one-year warranty. The less expensive KitchenAid KHB100 (Discontinued) is identical to the KHB300 but only comes with the plastic mixing jar. For a basic stick blender, we found the best reviews for the cheaper Cuisinart Smart Stick CSB-76 (*Est. $30).

We found the best professional reviews of the KitchenAid KHB300 at The Washington Post, where its performance in four separate tasks is compared to 11 other hand blenders. Editors at Bon Appetit magazine pick the KitchenAid KHB300 as their favorite, but do not reveal how many models were included in the test. The KHB300 is highly rated in numerous reviews by users on both Cooking.com and Amazon.com.
