Kitchen Blenders

Posts Tagged ‘Immersion’

This is my second Kitchenaid immersion hand blender. I am what the world calls a Foodie. I put my kitchen appliances through the ringer. I use them on a daily basis and hard use at that. So the fact that my first blender lasted over 3 years says a lot about the quality. I am a big fan of Kitchenaid products. I made the mistake of buying a Magic Bullet and it was a piece of junk. Also they did not honor the warranty because I did not buy it directly for the Mfg.. Like a coworker said once you buy cheap stuff you get cheap stuff. Spend the little extra and buy a good blender like this.

I have had this stick Immersion Hand Blender with Chopper for over a year, and used it about a hundred times. There are two problems which have been significant for me, but might not matter for you: (a) Washing the top of the chopper in the dishwasher causes it to fill with dirty water which leaks out slowly, but you can’t fully empty it; (b) You can’t chop small quantities, the minimum has to fill the chopper enough to cause full churn of the ingredients. In other words, a lot of pesto is ok, but not a little.
