About Amazon Basics 500 Watt Multi-Speed Immersion Hand Blender
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
73% praised the included attachments
I didn't think I would get much use out of the whisk attachment, but it actually does a great job of preparing eggs for an omelet without whipping in a bunch of air like the blender would. The mini food processor works okay for some jobs but not quite as good as my dedicated mini-chop. However, I've found that it does a great job at blending dry ingredients; unlike the mini-chop, it doesn't have a hole in the bottom and the cover keeps everything contained.
The immersion blender has a single attachment that is easy to get on and off.
73% liked the stainless steel blades, though 27% found them prone to rust
The case, including the blade housing, is made of stainless steel and won't fall apart.
I have to angle the immersion blender a bit to allow big chunks to reach the blades as the blade design is not perfect.
The immersion blender's bare metal housing around the blade left marks on the bottom of my Le Creuset stock pot.
I cut my finger while trying to clean the blades by hand and want to warn you about their sharpness.

80% found it easy to clean, while 20% struggled with stuck-on food
I find it easy to clean, but I prefer to hand wash the blending arm to avoid mildewy issues. I had to replace my previous hand blender due to mildew.
I cut my finger while trying to clean the immersion blender by hand, indicating that it is not easy or safe to clean it that way.
Cleaning the metal blender shaft with blade is unclear as the instructions are missing.
66% appreciated the long cord
The cord length of this immersion blender is 5ft long from base to prong.
The cord length provides flexibility around the counter without any awkward plugin gymnastics.
76% found it comfortable to hold
I appreciate the ergonomic design of the immersion blender. It fits comfortably in my hand and is easy to maneuver even during longer mixing sessions.
I have to hold this immersion blender with two hands on turbo due to my size, as it has more power than any other brand I have used.
78% praised its powerful motor, while 22% found it struggled with thick mixtures
I use an immersion blender with a 500w output. It can be difficult to keep the mixture in a small glass, so I usually do it over the sink.
The motor unit sputtered and rotated tentatively regardless of the variable speed setting.
65% appreciated the quiet operation, while 35% found it too loud
I noticed that the immersion blender blade arm got really hot and started to smell burnt after running it for 10 seconds on different speeds with long breaks in between.
The immersion blender sprayed chocolate mix all over the kitchen, indicating it might be too powerful for my home kitchen.
77% liked the compact storage design
The best part of the immersion blender is that it doesn't take up much space in the kitchen.
The immersion blender is lightweight and portable.
