| Bought this a year ago but only used it more frequently within the past week. Absolutely wonderful! I even used it to mix dough for a carrot cake without having to use the bulky electric mixer. Saves time in washing up and number of bowls, cups, etc. to use. This is my second hand blender; the first was a two-speed Oster, and it worked fine but was kind of a mess. It spattered a lot while running, it made a lot of noise, and it took a while to really get things done. This one is about as basic as it gets. One speed, no whisks or other attachments, just a one-speed hand blender. And this thing does the job. It's very quiet, very powerful, and is very clean -- it doesn't spatter very much. After my last one I just assumed they all did. I made a salad dressing out of persimmon and whole garlic cloves and oil and whatnot in the plastic cup the blender comes with, and I had it full past the markings and it didn't overflow at all. And it really liquefied everything to a perfectly smooth puree. My last hand blender, the results were always kind of so-so compared to using my real stand blender, but this one is just as good. Plus, so much easier to clean! The only reason I considered giving it four stars instead of five is that it's not actually "brushed chrome," it's plastic that has been spray-painted silver, and so looks kind of cheap. But it *is* cheap, and yet works really well, and I decided I'm not *quite* shallow enough to dock it a star for its paint. This immersion blender has a powerful motor. I have used it to puree vegetables in soups, fruits for mixed drinks, or just to blend large amounts of liquid that won't all fit into my blender at once. It does exactly what it is supposed to. |
