I bought myself the immersion blender for Christmas and it has been amazing. So great that I recently purchased a second one for my daughter. She makes smoothies and cream soups for my one year old grandson. It churns up the ice cubes without a glitch and makes an incredibly smooth “smoothie”. Soups are awesome . No problems with hot or frozen products. I highly recommend.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
Love it!! I use it for salad dressings, tomato sauce and salsa and especially smoothies and cocktails. Pull it out oif the drawer, snap it together and its ready. So much easier than hauling out the big Vitamix blender when doing smaller jobs. Super easy cleanup. I highly recommend!
This immersion blender is a well designed and solidly built appliance. It works as advertised. The ability to remove the blender section from the motor and power cord section is great for storage. Assembly/reassembly is simple and quick. The plastic guard for the blade assembly is excellent, especially for use in our enamelled cast-iron pots, where it protects the enamel from damage. The speed selection is good especially when blending in smaller containers, where high-speed would cause liquids to overflow the sides. This replaced our vintage (30+ years) Braun immersion blender which broke recently.
It's powerful and quiet and makes great smoothies - exactly what we wanted it for. We usually use frozen fruit and berries, not straight ice cubes. It's nice to have the variable speeds. A great buy.
I love my new Vitamix Immersion Blender. I bought it because my old immersion blender head was plastic, and I did not like to use it for blending hot soup. The Vitamix is metal with plastic tips (I assume they are fine with hot liquids), I have made pumpkin bisque soup a few times already, and the Vitamix is very powerful and blends very quickly and easily.
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing the Vitamix Immersion Blender and because of the high reviews and because I love the quality of my Vitamix Blender and Food Cycler, I chose to purchase this one. Most recently I have been making various versions of Baba Ganoush; I can't even begin to tell you how easy it is to blend the roasted vegetables and how smooth my concoctions are. This little machine is powerful; no cordless machine could ever compare.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
How did I live without this? It is the most used kitchen machine. It is the Rolls Royce of kitchen equipment. Lumpy Oatmeal? Never again! Lumpy bean soups? Never again! Immersion Blender is magical. 4 blades at the bottom instead of other “blenders”. All VITAMIX machines are TOP!! A few more dollars for this, is WORTH IT!!!!
