Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kenwood HBM60.307GY

  • Powerful 1000W motor effortlessly handles tough or hard ingredients
  • Extra-large (XL) blending wand is long and wide, allowing fast batch processing directly in deep pots
  • Triblade triple-blade system provides highly efficient, fine, and consistent blending
  • Includes a versatile range of attachments like a metal purée/masher, balloon whisk, and 0.5L chopper
  • EasyTwist system allows quick and simple swapping between different accessories
  • Ergonomic handle features a comfortable, soft SureGrip design that minimizes hand fatigue
  • Variable speed adjustment and turbo function offer excellent control over the texture
  • Most removable accessories and attachments are dishwasher safe, making cleanup very easy

What customers don't like about Kenwood HBM60.307GY

  • The wide base of the XL blending wand may not fit easily into smaller containers or jars
  • Does not include a storage box, stand, or holder to neatly organize all the extra attachments
  • The multiple included accessories can require a significant amount of kitchen or pantry storage space
  • Priced slightly higher compared to more basic entry-level immersion blenders on the market
  • At over 5 pounds (2.3 kg) for the full package, the main unit can feel a bit heavy or bulky for some users
  • Some long-term Kenwood users noted that the blending was not quite as effective as older discontinued models

Verdict

The Kenwood Triblade XL+ HBM60.307GY is a premium, grey immersion blender equipped with a powerful 1000W motor, variable speed control, and a turbo function. It stands out for its patented Triblade three-blade system, a stainless steel XL blending wand that is 20% longer, and an extra-wide foot that is 35% wider for quicker, finer results with less splashing. Main pros include its robust performance on hard ingredients, comfortable SureGrip ergonomic handle, and a versatile accessory bundle consisting of a 500ml chopper, a metal purée/masher tool, a metal balloon whisk, an easy-pour beaker, and dishwasher-safe components. On the downside, the appliance is relatively heavy at approximately 900 grams, features a somewhat short 120cm power cord that restricts movement, and its comprehensive array of multi-functional attachments requires a significant amount of pantry storage space.
