Third-party reviews

What customers like about Krups HZ6568

  • Powerful 1000W motor effortlessly purees and handles tough ingredients
  • Powelix 4-blade technology creates smooth, creamy textures with no remaining chunks
  • Highly precise speed control with 20 adjustable levels and a turbo function
  • Ergonomic, soft, non-slip handle stays comfortable and secure even with wet hands
  • Effective integrated splash guard minimizes mess and clean-up time
  • Comes with a versatile accessory bundle, including an 800ml cup, 500ml chopper, and whisk
  • Easy to clean with a high-quality, durable stainless steel detachable foot and dishwasher-safe parts

What customers don't like about Krups HZ6568

  • Storing the multiple included attachments and accessories requires a significant amount of kitchen space
  • The physical speed dial can be somewhat awkward to access or adjust with one hand during active blending
  • The 500ml chopper unit can struggle if overloaded to its maximum capacity, performing best with smaller batches

Verdict

The Krups HZ6568 (also known as the Perfect Mix 8500) is a high-performance immersion blender equipped with a powerful 1000-watt motor, a removable stainless steel base, and a 4-blade system powered by Powelix technology. Key characteristics include an intuitive speed dial offering 20 distinct speed settings plus a turbo function, an ergonomic soft, non-slip grip, and an integrated splash guard. Its main advantages include a comprehensive accessory bundle comprising an 800 ml measuring cup, a 500 ml mini chopper, and a whisk attachment, as well as dishwasher-safe components for effortless cleanup and up to 30% faster blending speeds on tough ingredients. On the downside, the unit is entirely corded, meaning it requires continuous proximity to an electrical outlet, and its multi-component design can be somewhat bulky to store in small kitchen spaces.
