 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.

Obviously, there are a lot of uses for an immersion blender, but I got it to aid me in one particular task that has been nearly impossible with arthritic hands and a potato masher -- smashing beans for burrito filling! Beans do not mash easily with a potato masher (they slide out from under mostly), and that was very hard on my arthritic hands and wrists. The blender did a bang-up job on the beans, which couldn't get away from it as I moved it around, and up and down in a large, flat pan. I could've gotten the mixture even smoother if I'd wanted, and all in just two or three minutes. It was a bit noisy, but the vibration actually felt good to my hands, and clean up was a cinch. I look forward to using it on many other things that would be a trial to do by hand or any other method.
Great hand blender! April 6, 2008

You can't beat this hand blender for the price! I use it to mix my shakes and even to make smoothies, it even grinds up the ice cubs no problem. It's easy and best of all it's convieniant and easy to clean! And it takes up almost no space!

Other reviews are correct about the on/off button. You do have to hold in the button, and it is very pointy. I simply put a pad on the button (like one that is on your cupboard doors so they don't bang shut), and it works great. Unit is good for everyday blending.
FYI: The manual for the blender specifically says not to run the blender for more than 1 minute at a time (as is typical with most blenders). It specifically says not to use it for crushing ice (don't know why you would think this would work anyways). The downer for me, it says it is not intended to beat egg whites. I didn't know that about hand blenders, so that is a bummer since that is one of the reasons I purchased a hand blender.
