Customer Reviews

Very strong and safe
I really love this hand blender. I have never thought of getting a hand blender before, but it is so useful! I use it most often for soup.

The only thing my husband doesnt' like about it is that it sounds like a dentist's drill.

Some major benefits of this hand blender:
* it has a shield around the blades so there is no spillage up or even sideways -- you can skim it over the surface of the liquid and none will splash up
* it is incredibly strong and can break up even frozen strawberries
* it is really fast, meaning I can make a broccoli soup into puree in less than a minute -- even a big potful

I highly recommend this. A lot of reviews of other hand blenders complain about strength or speed. This is supposedly the strongest one on the market and I am really happy about it.

Yes, it is fairly large, but it's not like you are going to go running errands with it in your hand. You stand still and use it, then you unclip it and wash it up. I don't find it inconvenient at all.

Unexpectedly useful tool
In a typical kitchen, any tool-purchasing decision should consider four things: (1.) the breadth of uses, (2.) affordability, (3.) the relative storage space required, and (4.) the performance quality of the tool in question.

In spite of my initial concern that it would score low in area (1.), it has proven invaluable in creating soups, sauces, beverages, and more. Given its exceeedly high score in areas (1.) and (4.), it earned complete forgiveness for both a low score in area (2.) and a mediocre score in area (3.)

Well worth the money if you blend sauces or make soups on a fairly regular basis.

NOT a jackhammer, a GREAT tool.
I just needed to refute that first review also. This is not a toy, it's not for mixing your ovaltine or slimfast shakes (though it will work for SURE). I assume that's what the first reviewer wanted it for. You can get a 19 dollar piece to do that. It's not "about a foot long!" It's 17 inches, and needs to be. It's also not 20 lbs. It's 2 lbs. and it's weight is perfect. It's not a "hand blender" for mixing water. It's an IMMERSION blender for making the thickest of the thick and the creamiest of the creamiest as far as soups go and 50 other uses. I'm a professional chef, this is part of my kit that I don't leave home without. You shouldn't be home without it.
