Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I REALLY wanted to like this blender! I had just sent back the Nesco hand blender because there was a seal on the immersion blender that allowed anything you blended to get trapped underneath it with no way to clean it out. The result was a rotted and liquids that you couldn't clean out.
I was happy to receive this one with all these fancy attachments! But lo, the excitement quickly turned to disgust. The blade attachments for the food processor part of the blender (there are two different ones) has a MAJOR design flaw. There are two holes on the underneath part of the white tube next to the blades. Whenever you blend something, the liquid will seep into the white tube with NO WAY to clean it out. I hadn't even noticed until I was using it for the third time or so and was near a window. When I pulled out the blade to wash it, the light from the window shown through it and I could see food gunked halfway up the tube! Old food! I tried rinsing it out the best I could, but it wouldn't come out. I only got rotted little food bits to come floating out.
It was absolutely DISGUSTING! I would NOT recommend this for that reason alone. It is now unusable. I am mostly disappointed because everything else about this hand blender is amazing and I really enjoyed the little time I had with it. But if I can't even use it anymore, it gets one star...I would give it zero, but Amazon doesn't give you that option.
UPDATE: I thought that the "wand/stick" part of the blender was still usable, but it too has become gunked up. There is a silicon ring (not removable) around the blade. No matter how well you wash it, liquid gets trapped underneath the ring and molds. You can actually SEE the black mold showing through the silicon ring. Gross.

Reduce prep time in the kitchen with help from this handheld immersion blender and related attachments. Equipped with a powerful, yet quiet, 350-watt DC motor, the versatile blender quickly purees soups, blends gravies and batters, mixes ice-cream shakes, blends frozen fruit and ice for party drinks, and much more. The unit's sharp blade provides extremely smooth and even blending, while its protective blade guard helps prevent splattering. In addition, its extra-long stainless-steel neck reaches deep into tall stockpots, pitchers, and bowls for extended blending options, eliminating the need to dirty extra dishes. Best of all, the blender offers comfortable one-handed operation thanks to its lightweight design, ergonomic handle, and soft-touch controls--choose from variable speed settings or the power boost function.
For added convenience, the stainless-steel blending rod detaches, making it possible to connect the handheld unit to the included 7-cup chopper, 7-cup measuring/mixing beaker, 5-cup chopper bowl, or stainless-steel wire whisk. Use the attachments for chopping vegetables to throw onto a homemade pizza, making delicious pesto sauce, blending pancake batter, mixing up fresh salsa, and more. Nonskid bottoms on the beaker and choppers double as lids--simply detach and snap to the top opening for storage. The lids should be washed by hand, but the attachments, bowls, and beaker can go in the dishwasher for quick cleanup. Wolfgang Puck recipes come included. The immersion blender measures approximately 4 by 4 by 15 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
