Tony the Tiger Immersion Blender - Not for Wimps

This device is great. It is not for immersion blender wimps. You need a sturdy container. This is not a light weight immersion blender. you need a firm gripe and having a dish or small platter to rest it on if you need to stop to add something to the mix is good. I found out the hard way. My container tipped and everything went splat everywhere due to the weight of the immersion blender. Cut up hard items like apples or carrots. Softer food like whole bananas no problem. Having variable speeds is excellent so that you don't splatter. Was of great value to me during my hospital stay to get the fresh foods I needed for a healthy recovery.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Power

I love Vitamix blenders but less impressed with the stick blender. I don’t find any more powerful than my Kitchenaid. I really think for the price it should have some attachments like a whisk something anything. I like the ease of turning power up is about all. No one can touch a Vitamix blender so hope the Vitamix bumps up their game on the stick blender.
Not balanced, tips over easily, not the power I expected from Vitamix (but it’s quiet). Doesnt perform as well as cheaper brands and the blade cup shape is terrible. Food gets stuck and not enough air holes for efficient immersion blending. Does not come with a mixing cup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This immersion Blender has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for meals for my family and I...and just in time for that cooler weather which is also known as SOUP SEASON around here!
I was always so jealous of my friend who made the most velvety fall and winter soups...you know, butternut squash, roasted red pepper...you name it. I never could quite get them right. UNTIL...THIS. She let me in on her dirty little secret which is this immersion blender. It’s no joke. It takes home cooking to restaurant quality level food. It’s not a one trick pony it’s just that I’m kind of obsessed with its transformative power when it comes to the goodness of my soup...try sauces, smoothies, and more while you’re at it...the possibilities are endless with 5 speeds and 4 prolonged blade which create ideal textures for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you want to make. It’s easy to use and has a good hand feel while working. The name brand vitamix is obviously going to put out a quality product with their fantastic reputation and it shows here. There’s overheat protection and a 3 year full warranty. You just can’t beat that. Enough with this review...what soup am I about to make next?
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the blender is quite heavy and large and I find it somewhat hard to handle. I just have to be careful. Otherwise it's performance as a blender is amazing.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Versatility, Power
I needed a new immersion blender and this one is very powerful. It's heavy for a petite person like me, I hold it with both of my hands. Mainly I use it for dips, dressings, and vinaigrettes and they always turn out beautifully. Some soups will be velvety but not ones with celery, unless they are cooked/softened to the edge of oblivion.
For me it was a fair trade off; WAY easier to clean, but doesn’t do well against leafy greens.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Power, Other

I love the product and the entire Vitamix line; I own most of them. I was disappointed that for the price it did not come with a container, a wall mount or a bowl attachment as my much less expensive one did that I bought years ago. I love the durability of your products and would love to see some of the above mentioned offered in the future and as an add on for those of us that got the immersion blender for Christmas.
