Disappointed that this item does not include the battery or the charger! I returned for a different brand.

Be aware they sell these with battery packs that don't work.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this to replace a cheaper model which was not cordless as I make alot of soups and smoothies. This KitchenAid Cordless HandBlender has not disappointed! It is so user-friendly! It is a dream not to have to worry about the cord and I don't have worry about scratching my pots with the protective end cover. I am so happy with this new kitchen tool! I highly recommend

They suck. I bought 3 a few months ago and all of them don’t work anymore.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great machine but a little heavy for my wife's hand. We have corded so this is a great way to go! No Cord. We like to have a blender like this and will be good to have and is a keeper. The pan guard was hard to fit on; I had to try twice. Got it.
