Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kenwood HBM60.002GY

  • Powerful 1000W motor handles hard ingredients and heavy blending easily
  • Extra-wide Triblade XL blending wand mixes ingredients quickly and finely
  • Continuously adjustable variable speed and turbo options provide excellent control
  • Ergonomic SureGrip handle is comfortable and prevents slipping even with wet hands
  • Easy to clean with dishwasher-safe attachments and a splash-preventing foot design
  • Includes useful high-quality accessories like a metal whisk and a large measuring beaker

What customers don't like about Kenwood HBM60.002GY

  • This specific package configuration (HBM60.002GY) does not include a food chopper attachment
  • The connection piece between some parts relies on plastic components which may feel less robust
  • Can be slightly heavy for some users during long, continuous blending sessions
  • Takes up a noticeable amount of kitchen storage space due to the size of the XL rod and accessories
  • The included plug variant can sometimes be impractical depending on your specific region's kitchen outlets

Verdict

The Kenwood Triblade XL+ HBM60.002GY is a high-performance immersion blender powered by a robust 1000-watt motor capable of handling hard ingredients back-to-back. It features a patented, 20.5 cm long Triblade triple-blade system engineered with a 35% wider foot to ensure faster, finer blending results while minimizing splashing. Main characteristics include continuously adjustable variable speed controls via button pressure, an integrated turbo function, a comfortable ergonomic Suregrip handle, and included dishwasher-safe accessories like a metal balloon whisk and an easy-pour measuring beaker. Key pros highlight its immense pureeing power, effortless tool swapping via an easy-twist fitting, and optimized capacity for processing large pans of soup. On the downside, it lacks a dedicated storage holder for its attachments, and the main motor unit cannot be submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher.
