We had this blender for over a year before the teeth stripped and it stopped working. We used it daily for a time making smoothies (no ice–it doesn’t do ice). One I got the hang of it the whisk was great for beating up eggs; it didn’t really beat them to a fluff, but it was enough for most of my recipes. I splattered the kitchen with eggs several times before I got the hang of it. I even made hummus in the food processor, albeit in small batches. I think when I buy another immersion blender I will find one with a better track record and maybe without changeable heads–really smoothies and soups are all I need.Fun while it lasted
This is an amazing kitchen gadget, and if I could only have one this would be it. I’m living in a super-small kitchen right now so I don’t have some of the normal equipment, but I have found, more often than not, that this can do the trick. It of course takes care of puree soups, but I also use it to cream the butter and sugar for cookies, make sauces, or homemade applesauce. The chopper attachment is great for breadcrumbs or just any small scale food processing. The motor is pretty powerful. It can take care of anything you put it up against.If I could only have one gadget…
This is truly a wonderful hand blender. I use it several times a week, for smoothies, salad dressing, creamed soups, yogurt and fruit mix for popsicles, sandwich spreads, and the list goes on.
My stick bound up too. The motor was straining and blades would not turn. I immediately stopped running it to prevent motor damage. I went to the Internet where I found that many people have had the same problem.
I didn’t want to give up on this marvelous kitchen tool. So I determined that perhaps putting the blender wand in the dishwasher (the top section) was not the thing to do.
I poured about a half of a cup of canola oil in a narrow container (a coffee cup) and placed the wand blade side down in it. I let it sit like this for about 4 hours. I then turned the wand upside down and put the junction end in the oil for a couple of hours. This worked. The wand is back in action. Now after using it, I fill the 2-cup plastic beaker that came with it with 1-cup of warm, soapy water, and blend the water for a few seconds. I then rinse the blade end off with hot water and it’s perfectly clean. Don’t wash the junction end.
DO NOT put the stainless-steel blending shaft in the dishwasher. Cuisinart says that it is dishwasher-safe. I don’t believe that it is. I hope that mine lasts forever!
A Wonderful Invention!
This is just about the BEST baby shower gift I received. Yes, you heard right…baby shower gift. I’m trying to do the “make your own baby food” thing so that way it’s less expensive and I know exactly what is going into it. I decided to try and use this for mixing his formula while I waited for the true pureed foods to start being used.
Moms are aware that many times, making the fomula in a 20 oz shaker can take several minutes of vigorous shaking to get it blended perfectly. I tried this hand mixer and OH MY WOW! It literally mixed the formula with the added rice cereal in less than 20 seconds (my son has acid reflux and the rice cereal helps to keep the formula down). Perfectly blended almost instantly and zero mess!
I’m not talking 20 oz, I’m talking 40 oz. Enough for 6 – 6 oz bottles with a little extra left over. More than enough to get my son through all of his feedings for the 24 hour day. We refrigerate the rest and it is such a time saver! My husband even uses it to mix the formula when he does it. (He’s also used it for making perfect chocolate milkshakes. LOL!) I can not wait to puree solid food with it! It’s durable, fast and easy!!! I love it!Mom and dad both agree…
