Awesome little tool

I was due for a new hand blender and was happy to receive one for free and test it. Assembling was too easy and I was happy to make some potato soup. I have to boil them first and then use a blender and this little tool was so powerful I couldn't believe it. The extra chopper made me happy, I usually make a mango salsa and it requires a lot chopping. I went through so many choppers that I gave up after purchasing a 4th one and chopped by hand. It was no fun having blisters. Now there was my blender with chopper tool and luckily I was done within 5 minutes and chopping everything perfectly. I have not used it yet to make my kids morning smoothies but this will be next. I'm expecting just as much as blending and chopping. It's a must have in every household !!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This blender is beautiful, but it is more than just a pretty face:). The sleek design fits nice in my palm. The condensed size makes regular to large size smoothies but is easy to store. I used this blender to make strawberry smoothies and it worked as planned, no chunks left at all. I also used the blender to make guacamole and it was perfect. The matching storage, blending cups are a nice add on but the star is really the hand blender itself. I also liked that the cord was long enough to reach from my socket around the counter but did not get tangled up after a few uses. There are other choices but for me the candy apple red color was perfect for my decor. Disclaimer notice: I did receive this item as a sample to review but I ended up buying another for my daughter!

Very Handy Powerful tool!

Great looking product - the immersion stick attachment did very well immersed in a pot of Cuban black bean soup, I used the stick to get a beautiful, silky purée. I then used the chopper to chop some cilantro and onion as topper. It did a lovely job on chopping. The chopper was also nice to use to make guacamole. Great job chopping the veggies. However, using the stick in the cup was tricky, it is quite powerful and really pulls a suction, but it creates such a vortex, I was scared it was going to sling right out into my kitchen. I wish it had a cover in place while I was blending. I also wish the metal edges of the stick were a little smoother, I would need to be careful using this in a nonstick pan for fear of scratching. I do really like the covers you can use to store your item directly to to fridge if you needed - cleanup was very easy. Great item and highly recommended!

Handy Blender/Chopper

I have to say the blender itself looks and feels well-made. Nice, large chopping & blending cups. I've only used it twice, but so far so good. It chopped up some creme-filled sandwich cookies nicely. And it blended them and some ice cream pretty easily (added some milk to make it blend smoother). The only negative thing I have to say is that the chopping cup was tough to get open the first few times, but you have to turn the top and then pull up to open. I'm happy with it so far and can't wait to try it on some soups and salsa!

This product is super easy to assemble and clean. You can chop and dice things quickly without getting a lot of things dirty. It is convenient to use for quick jobs. Makes salsa making simple! I received this as a sample to try and would definitely recommend this to others for a quick and inexpensive alternative to other brands and beats chopping by hand!

This is a good product, although not one that everyone would find necessary. With so many smoothie places around, I'm not sure it's worth the effort. It did work as advertised

Everything I'd hoped for

I have never used a hand blender before, though I've wanted one for a long time, so I had expectations but wasn't entirely sure if they'd match up to the reality of this product. Happily, I can say that my experience with the Oster hand blender with chopper easily surpassed those expectations. Soups were blended in no time and I was glad to not have to carefully pour hot liquid from a pot to a standard blender; onions were chopped quickly and uniformly; I even gave it a try with brownie batter, it worked, though it was a little impractical. It was intuitive and simple to put the parts together and use them, and clean up was quick and easy. I like the bright red color, it's fun and modern (but I wish it were available in purple haha). Overall, I'm really pleased with this product and look forward to using it for many years.

Immersion Blender And Chopper

This product is a great addition to any kitchen. I have made Tomato Basil soup and salsa. Both were easier to make with this product than a food processor. The burning smell is of some concern and that's why I gave a four star rating.
