This hand blender works really well and feels very solid. The variable speed control makes it easy to blend exactly how I want. It’s powerful, smooth, and blends soups, sauces, and smoothies quickly without splashing. I like the comfortable grip and the corded power—no worrying about batteries. Very happy with this blender.

This tool is perfect. It eliminates the fear one has liquifying hot liquids in a blender because there is no splash. It is quiet, thorough, and it is easily controlled. Just make sure that you unplug it before you come close to the blade. Unplugged, it is easy to clean under a faucet. The cord stores beautifully wrapped around the handle. Read more

I love this thing: it blends like a dream, cleans up easily and works well at all speeds. My old hand blender finally quit on me and this is such a huge improvement-I love that you can take it apart for storage. I find the plastic cup accessory pretty useless, but I also trying to stay away from plastics. Read more

I love the hand blender. It makes a quick blend easy so I don't have to pull out the "big blender." Quick, easy, sturdy and great quality. highly recommend Read more

For me, it works quite well for small jobs. During the blending process of a very large pot of soup, the motor (handle) heated up pretty hot and needed a few 5min "rests" before completing the task. But hey, so did I -- haha. It did much better than my old immersion blender. The pros: it has a nice ergonomic handle, offers a decent sharp size blade, separates for easier cleaning. The iffy: The pot guard piece must be used holding the device to the bottom of the pot; if moving around it easily comes off. Fairly lightweight. The cons: Wish the handle was a couple inches longer. It is powerful enough, however the motor is the handle and it heats up a bit too easily when using it for soup and tasks that are not "quick". For a price under $45, I feel it is probably one of the best values for anyone who needs an immersion blender but doesn't use it daily. As far as noise level, it is no different than any of the others. Read more

Quiet and powerful. I like the variable speed. I use to make my mayonnaise and tomato sauce. Hopefully it will last for years. The last no name immersion blender only lasted so months. Decided to go for a brand I trust. Read more

I've been using this some years now. Does great making smoothies, super easy to use. Even able to pulverize apples (put in slices when i really should have done chunks, it took a little while due to the size of the apple slices, but ultimately had no issues pulverizing the apples for a smoothie. It's great especially when you just need to puree something really quick, or have a small item to blend. Read more
