Hamilton Beach 2-Speed Hand Blender with Whisk Attachment, New, 59762F

Easy to use %26 easy to clean and put away! Good blending power- it's actually fun to use it! I say “Don't stir it… Blend it!” Best $15 I've ever spent!

I was disappointed to read the instructions that stated, "don't use over heat source". Perhaps, I am wrong about my intended us. However, the purpose for me to use this type of device is the constant, long-time whipping of ingredients in a pot on the stove. I'm finding that some other immersion product's descriptions do not mention that you can't use over heat source. It's in the little insert that comes in the product. Perhaps, my use is not other cooks/chef's use.

I did read reviews before buying this, but thought that the blade area design looked so much like my old Oster, that the reviewers who said the Hamilton Beach sucked onto the bottom of the mixer cup must be exaggerating - or using too small a cup. Nope!!! Using a cup that came with an immersion blender and has worked fine with multiple immersion blender brands, the Hamilton Beach's suction does splash the liquid all over the counter even when the cup is only half full. Do NOT buy this one1 Also the pieces that lock the blade portion onto the motor portion are plastic, so I imagine that they would break at some point - and don't think you don't need to remove and clean that portion. Liquid does work itself up the stick of any immersion blender.

Bought this to make mayo with. I started using it but nothing seemed to be happening. I finally took it out and looked at the blade and turned it on and it wasnt spinning. Took the piece off and it is little plastic ridges that make it spin. All of them had been stripped bare. Right out of the box, I put it on and turned it to the locked position and it stripped the plastic pieces out. This thing is literal garbage. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra for a good one. I will be returning this.

This is my 4th immersion blender, this one is a gift! However , this blender arrived in a soiled beat up box, that had been opened and taped back with a good deal of tape, not a patch!( im glad it wasn't through a registry, embarrassing) i didnt bother to open the box and i am returning it right away. but i just ordered a replacement, I hope it is new blender , in a new unopened box!

Bought for my mom. she had originally purchased a battery operated one from sams club and it wouldn't charge, so i bought her this one. she has carpal tunnel and arthritis in her wrist and hands and has absolutely no problems with holding it or disassembling it. its a little on the heavy side but not so heavy your arm gets tired. its not super loud as her battery operated one was. as with any electronic i recommend getting the warranty just in case

This mixer only has two speeds and both are insanely fast and pulse control is terrible. Made such a mess trying to use it. Definitely need a very deep large bowl to avoid ingredients going everywhere. 1/10 do NOT recommend. Cheap, but definitely not worth it.

I use it about once or twice every other week and have had it less for a month. It was fine when I got it but its start to really heat-up and is releasing a scent of burning plastic. Again these are for very brief 1 minute blends. While it worked fine with none of these problems before, its starting to get really concerning now. I mean, you hold this thing. What are you going to do with it decides to blow in your face or catches fire? While it works I feel the fact that this problem started barely a month after small time use really shows this product is cheap and poorly made. Maybe save up and get a more reliable device.

I was thinking this immersion blender would be handy for mixing liquids in pans and glasses but even at the lowest of the two speeds, I haven't managed to use this blender in any container of liquid without ejecting said liquid from the container. Maybe I'm using it wrong or have unrealistic expectations but either way, this blender isn't going to work out for me.

Got this to blend tomato sauce, baby food, soups, etc. If the item you want to blend is on the thicker side, this is not ideal. The side holes are high up on the sides, so it's easy to spray the food everywhere. Its powerful, but honestly it's difficult to stop the wand from being sucked down to the bottom of the pot. It blends decently, but it's more difficult to manage than I had hoped. Overall, I would not purchase again.
