The All-Clad KZ750DGT is a decent multi-purpose hand blender that's simple to use and easy to clean. It doesn't have any programs or modes, but it still packs enough power to handle more challenging jobs like crushing ice or nuts. Its long shaft allows you to reach the bottom of large pots, and it's safe to use for blending hot ingredients. It can't produce a fine or smooth texture, though, making it less ideal for making smoothies or smooth nut butter. Furthermore, the build quality is rather disappointing, as there are parts that feel loose or cheaply-made. On the upside, it's extremely easy to clean, and it doesn't take up much space in your cupboard.
Our Verdict
The All-Clad KZ750D is a decent multi-purpose blender. It's better-suited for breaking ingredients down into smaller pieces, like ice crushing, but it can't process the ingredients any further to produce a smooth texture, resulting in smoothies or shakes that are hard to drink. It's safe for blending hot soups, and cleaning is incredibly easy. Unfortunately, the build quality isn't the best.

The All-Clad KZ750D is mediocre for making smoothies and shakes. It does a good job of breaking down tougher ingredients like ice cubes. However, it can't process the ingredients down to a finer texture, so the resulting smoothie can be difficult to drink if you use fibrous ingredients like kale. The build quality is disappointing, but on the bright side, it's very easy to clean.

The All-Clad KZ750D is decent for making soups. It's safe to use for hot blending, and the shaft is long enough to reach the bottom of most pots or jars. It should be fine for making purees as long as the ingredients are soft. The resulting texture might not be super smooth, but it should be good enough for most people. Cleaning is effortless, as it only requires running the blender in soapy water for the most part.

It has enough power to process more challenging ingredients like ice and nuts, but it can't produce a fine texture, so it isn't ideal for making smooth nut butter or smoothies.

Test Results
The blender has a long shaft, which is great for blending soup in a large pot. In its vertical position, it has a very small footprint and won't take up much space in storage, especially since the shaft is detachable.
The build quality is sub-par. It has a stainless steel body that feels sturdy, but the plastic piece that connects the body and the shaft doesn't feel very durable and is a bit loose. Also, the dial knob's plastic construction feels cheap. For a better-built immersion blender, check out the Braun MultiQuick 5, the Vitamix Immersion Blender, or the Braun MultiQuick 9.
This blender doesn't come with a jar.
This blender doesn't come with any additional jars.
The blades are fixed and aren't replaceable. If you're looking for an immersion blender with blades that you can put in the dishwasher, check out the Braun MultiQuick 7.
Since the All-Clad KZ750D is an immersion blender, it doesn't have a lid.
The power cord is long enough for most uses, but since it's an immersion blender, there's no compartment to stow it away for storage.
The blender is very easy to operate. There's a knob at the top that lets you control the speed. To start blending, you need to hold down the power button or the Turbo button.
This blender is okay for making butter. After seven minutes of blending, the resulting butter still has chunks of almonds that are left unprocessed. It's a little hard to spread and has a crunchy texture. It produces a better-textured almond butter than the GE Appliances Immersion 2-Speed hand blender though.
The All-Clad KZ750D is sub-par for making smoothies. After two minutes of blending, the texture is still grainy due to the unprocessed kale, and the consistency doesn't change with more blending. The test is conducted with our own beaker, as there isn't one included in the box. If you want an immersion blender that makes good smoothies, check out the KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender.
This blender doesn't come with an optional jar.
The All-Clad KZ750D is good for crushing ice. It takes very little time to process a dozen ice cubes, and the resulting ice is bar-quality.
This blender doesn't have any programs or modes.
Cleaning the blender is very easy. Running the blender in a container filled with water and soap for a few seconds should remove most, if not all, food particles, and you can simply wipe the remaining areas with a sponge if there are any food particles left.
The All-Clad KZ750D has few extra features. The manufacturer has specified that the blender is safe for hot blending. However, caution is recommended to avoid splashing hot liquid.
