Variable Speed Trigger

One control, not two buttons. The KitchenAid argument against a $35 Hamilton Beach.

8-Inch Arm + Pan Guard

Removable shaft. Guard so the blade is less likely to mark a saucepan.

Corded KHBV53, 1-Year

Not KitchenAid Go cordless. Wand-first — add a kit only if you still need a chopper.
