This little guy is a great deal - great brand which has well made products and easy to use customer service if you ever need it. This is a good price on a stick/immersion blender, and it comes with a very handy container with lid to blend/store in. Although you can blend in any container it can be hard to find ones with nice tall sides to help prevent splatter. Mostly important if you're working with something hot or something that might stain!
I use this most often to correct lumps in my frosting or white sauces. I also use it to quickly thicken up soups by partially blending them. It may not have the power of my Vitamix but it does an amazing job and it very quick/easy to pull out AND clean up. Nice long cord to reach all the way into the pot on the stove from wherever your outlet may be. My only complaint is that food can build up along the edge of the rubber seal on the inside of the metal area covering the base of the blades. I normally use a toothpick to clean along this edge and once in a while run a knife under the lip to make sure all the gunk gets cleaned out.
Other than that I love everything about the design of this blender and wholeheartedly recommend it!
You know what I really love? Is that cup that it come with. I make my homemade sour cream in that and works for me in all things concerning it. I thought, I gotta go back to amazon and get another and then realized that it come with the hand blender. If anyone knows if I can get a few more of those without buying more kitchen aid blenders to get one please let me know. I would like one for my buttermilk as well. I love the size and the way that lid fits onto it and how easy it is to clean. Sometimes you just dig something and you cant put your finger on it.
I think I'm more in love with the cup here (if anyone's wondering about it)
And if anyone doesn't like their cups, please feel free to send them all to me :D
I bought this blender back in July to replace one that broke quite a while ago. I received the product in a timely manner.
What I like about it:
1. It's a pretty strong little immersion blender. I've used it many times and am pleased with how it works. I've not tried it with ice but I have blended frozen fruit for a smoothie and it worked really well. Last night I used it to mix organic peanut butter with the oil on top and I almost thought I broke it as it stopped working lol. But I just had to clean out the blade area and it worked fine after that. It can be tough mixing that type of peanut butter so it gave me a chance to check out how it would do.
2. I like that I can take this hand blender apart to store it and that the bottom half is made of metal.
3. I like that it came with a container with a to lid make my smoothie in. It's not a strong plastic container so I'm not sure how long it will last.
What I'm not so keen on:
1. I don't care for the fact that you have to hold the button in to keep the blender on as you blend with it. It's a bit uncomfortable and tiring. Someone with arthritis might find it difficult. it would be nice to just press the button to turn it on and then one to turn it off, something I failed to check for.
2. As others noted, you have to line up the two halves of the blender just right and then turn to lock it. I like the fact that it is strong and stays put, but it can be a little hard to turn and take a part if your hands are even slightly wet or greasy. Make sure your hands are completely dry.
All in all I am very happy with this blender.
If people took 5 minutes to read instructions bad reviews about this product would not be posted. This product is not defective, the handle does not come off as many have said.
Don't forget that this is a 200 watts hand blender, so use it for the right cause, like sauces, purée, etc. I would never make a pash potato with this, or try to make a very thick smoothie because it won't work, I definitely love how my baby's food comes out. This is my third hand blender, the last one I had it survived 7 years !!! Yes, I used it and I wore it out.
If you are a momma who wants to make nice purés for your babies, or just a great cook who loves having gadget around the kitchen to make your work easier, then, this is the right product. People have said about the blades braking easily, but once again, This is a 200 watts hand blender, not a vitamix blender, if used properly, I am sure you will love it as much as I do 🤗
Ps: hand wash it immediately after use, let it air dry. I don't put my nice knives in the dishwasher or anything that has blades.

Only this is, it comes with 110V input, so make sure you have a voltage converter to use it, otherwise you might burn it.
