KOIOS 4-In-1 Immersion vs KitchenAid KHBBV53 Side-by-Side Comparison

By , , , and ·Updated
KOIOS 4-In-1 Immersion vs KitchenAid KHBBV53

Overall Verdict

These two blenders are competing for different customers. As a battery-powered device, the KitchenAid KHBBV53 is an ideal option for those demanding maximum mobility. The KOIOS 4-in-1, however, must be operated close to a power outlet and is more suitable for budget-focused buyers.

That difference aside, both the KitchenAid KHBBV53 and the KOIOS 4-in-1 perform averagely when pureeing hot soup, blending frozen fruits, and making mayonnaise. Their usability is also roughly the same. 

Certainly, the choice between the KOIOS 4-in-1 and the KitchenAid KHBBV53 is more about your need for mobility than any other factor.
