fantastic basic purpose immersion blender July 27, 2008

we got this immersion blender because of the price point and we wanted one for soups and baby food. we're very pleased with this blender. it works really well for baby food and is able to blend stuff to the right consistency for our 6 month old baby. our only complaint with it is that after a while your finger hurts holding the "engage" button, as noted by someone else.
other than that one complaint, great immersion blender for twice the price.
 Great! Highly recommend, but... July 21, 2008

Don't expect more than basic immersion blender functions! It's one of my favorite gadgets in my kitchen. I use it for pureeing for soups, scrambling larger amounts of eggs so they're light and fluffy, mixing puddings and jello, whipped cream, some less chunky smoothies. I occasionally do mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, but after butter, milk and whatever other stuff is added and in a deep bowl or can be a mess. Lots of uses!
However, don't expect it to do more hard core kitchen things and replace a blender and/or food processor. It doesn't (effectively IMO) mash up some types of big, chunky fruit especially frozen, chop nuts, certainly not ice! For that stuff you're going to need to spend more than $12.99 and get a wazoo style, more powerful and maybe with attachments.
Serious bang for your buck though! I've had mine for 2 years and have used it a lot!

Do not use this blender to chop ice cubes. I tried and it shorted out the motor, tripping the circuit breakers in my house, and does so every time it is plugged in. Works great at blending thin items like soup and protein shakes, but don't use it for thicker items like milk shakes.

i bought this item to make soap, which takes alot of stirring. this blender gets the job done asap, and was a good price.
 Immerses sure, but does it blend? May 24, 2008

I purchased this hand blender with visions of soups and salsa dancing in my head. After my first attempt at Butternut Squash Soup, I realized that this isn't the blender for the job. It took me 20 minutes to blend away the big chunks of butternut squash, and I was still left with a grainy and unpleasant texture. Perhaps I needed to strain it, but perhaps I needed a more powerful hand blender too. Or I should have just used a food processor. Unless you're making stuff one cup at a time, this isn't for you.
