About Vitamix Immersion Blender, Stainless Steel, 18 inches
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
79% appreciated the variable speed control
I started at speed 1 and slowly cranked it up to speed 5. Speed 5 was too powerful for me to move, so I lowered it to 3 and blended for about 30 seconds.
63% praised the included attachments, but 37% found them unnecessary
I hope that some attachments will be available for the immersion blender in the future.
64% liked the stainless steel blades, though 36% found them prone to rust
The four blade design is more of a marketing gimmick. Three blades are best for circulation.
I accidentally cut myself while washing the Vitamix immersion blender before first use because the blades were super sharp right out of the box.
I bought the immersion blender before realizing that the blade housing is made of plastic, which is a negative sentiment towards its blade design.
88% found it easy to clean
Cleaning the immersion blender is easy. Fill a container with hot water and soap, then blend the soapy water at high speed for about 10 seconds.
The blender is easy to wash and its small size makes it convenient to leave out in the kitchen.
93% appreciated the long cord, but 7% found it too short
The power cord is long enough to reach just about anywhere on my cooking surfaces.
I need an immersion blender with a longer cord for large deep batches like spaghetti sauce for canning.
85% found it comfortable to hold, though 15% experienced fatigue
The ergonomics of the immersion blender make it easy to switch speeds unintentionally. But I found a way to fix this by using my thumb.
The power button placement is not very ergonomic. I had to contort my hand a little to both hold the thing and keep the button depressed to run it.
88% praised its powerful motor, while 12% found it struggled with thick mixtures
The immersion blender comes with a big quality motor, but it is a bit heavy.
I enjoy the 5 different consistencies achievable with the immersion blender because Power 1 is literally the speed of the immersion blender I broke.
My immersion blender's motor got hot and produced a burning smell before mixing the jar of peanut butter.
When I used the immersion blender on settings 4 and 5, the motor became hot after only 1 minutes of mixing.
83% appreciated the quiet operation, while 17% found it too loud
This immersion blender is very quiet, with a sound level comparable to an electric toothbrush.
The blender shaft is difficult to use due to its noise and imbalance, and the exact reason for this is unknown to me.
85% liked the compact storage design
The immersion blender snaps off into two pieces, making it convenient to store in minimal space.
I find the immersion blender convenient for storage and frequent use compared to a larger blender with a complicated setup and cleaning process.
This immersion blender is great for sauces, smoothies, milk shakes or whatever I need and it doesn't take up much storage space.
