How long does a cordless immersion blender battery last?

Most cordless immersion blenders run 15 to 25 minutes of blending time per charge, which typically equals 20 to 40 separate uses of 30 to 60 seconds each. The KitchenAid Go Cordless is rated for longer run time than budget models. Battery capacity decreases after 300 to 500 charge cycles (roughly 1 to 2 years of daily use), and most cordless immersion blenders have non-replaceable batteries. For daily heavy use: a corded model is more practical long-term. For occasional use: battery capacity is rarely the limiting factor.

Is a cordless immersion blender as powerful as a corded one?

At the same price point: no. Battery-powered motors deliver less continuous wattage than direct-current motors at the same price due to the battery's internal resistance and voltage limitations. For thick mixtures and tough vegetables: corded models are the better choice. For light soups and sauces where cordless convenience is the priority: cordless is adequate.
