I am absolutely over the moon with our new Vitamix Immersion Blender. It does all the things I need it to do - smoothies, salsa, soups, without so much as a hesitation. I'm sorry I ever wasted money on other brands before.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
Love Vitamix; I've had the same Vitamix Pro Blender for 12 years and still use it 3x's a day. I've gifted several Vitamixes and they are still going strong! I thought the stick (immersion) blender would be the bomb but to be 100% honest, I'm a bit underwhelmed by it's performance. In no way do I expect it to perform like a blender but I have had several immersion blenders from KitchenAid in the last ten years. Notice I say several because they do tend to crack where the wand meets the motor housing, or the on/off gets funky. I can't say the Vitamix performs that much better but that being said, it does work and saves the hassle of transferring items to the blender. You will not get creamy, creamy textures with this and emulsions...probably not. I do like that the housing is plastic edged so it doesn't scrape pans or glass; that was a smart design decision. I have to power up to at least level 4 to get any kind of umph from this unit. Perhaps a lower settings would be ok for the appropriate situation. It's all subjective depending on how you cook and what the expectation is. Overall a quality appliance but not sure it's worth 2'xs what most immersion blenders cost, time will tell! Warranty is great.
I love this handheld blender. I’ve used it to purée soups and also whipped cream which takes seconds. I wasn’t sure that I’d like the placement of the speed controls after some of the reviews but it’s just fine for me. The speed control is nice when you want to leave a little texture to soups. I also like the weight balance.

Vitamix got it SO RIGHT on this one! Easy peasy to use and such a beautiful tool to have in my kitchen! I made delicious avocado mayo the first day that I got it. Couldn't believe how simple it was to use and the results were mighty tasty. Goodbye store bought mayo as I will be making my own from now on.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
We use it all the time for soups and smoothies. Goes great with a wide mouth mason jar and super easy to clean.

I purchased my immersion blender a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy with my purchase so far. I use it every day. It's more convenient and portable than any other blender I've used in the past.

I've used a few different immersion blenders, this is easily the best. Makes quick work of anything you need it for. Especially great for blended soups and sauces.
