I've owned my BAMIX hand blender for the past 12-years. It has never let me down and it truly is the most versatile kitchen device in my arsenal of cooking appliances. The machine works well between mixing & blending items on a hot stove, to crushing ice in in a single glass for making margaritas, all within seconds apart. The open ended design allows it to get at all the material you are chopping & mixing, and clean up is truly fast and easy. I've recently bought another hand mixer this year, because I misplaced my BAMIX hand blender. Anyway, what a disapointment to find that this major-named-brand of mixer, only has one blade, and it can't fit into a normal drinking glass. This past month I found my tried-n-true BAMIX hand blender, and was so grateful that I threw out the practically new hand mixer. Now that's true dedication to a product.
I have not seen anything close to the design of this hand blender on the market to this day that can replace this amazing machine. My only complaint is that I wish the price would come down. After all, it is one of the most expensive hand blenders on the market, but it is certainly the best.

Rival IB954W Ultrablend 2-Speed Handheld Immersion Blender Review

I have been making smoothies almost everyday and they come out great. Put my decaf coffee and 1% milk in the microwave and froth it with this stick-like device and in 10 seconds it froths. Have used it to whip baked potatoes into creamy mashed. Am always thinking I'm over-taxing its little motor, but no, I start it up and its still working.

Equipped with a 100-watt motor, this handheld immersion-style blender quickly purees soups, blends gravies and batters, mixes cool drinks and ice-cream shakes, and much more. The unit's stainless-steel cutting blade provides extremely smooth and even blending, while its protective blade guard helps prevent splattering. In addition, its long neck reaches deep into pots, pitchers, and bowls for extended blending options, eliminating the need to dirty extra dishes. The blender offers comfortable one-handed operation thanks to its lightweight design, ergonomic handle with a cushioned grip, and extra-large fingertip control button for low or high speed settings (shuts off automatically when released). For quick clean-up, the blender's detachable shaft can go in the dishwasher and the smooth surface of the blender body wipes clean with a damp cloth. Not sure where to start? A recipe booklet with great-tasting ideas comes included. The two-speed immersion-style blender measures approximately 3 by 3 by 15 inches.

Bosch MSM6A60UC Mixxo Cordless Handheld Blender and Chopper, Black/White Review

When i went to use the Mixxo for the first time, I was not sure how I would like it. I have had hand mixers before and they never live up to their hype. I know BOSCH makes quality products so I decided to give this a try. The first thing I attempted to make with my new Mixxo was a smoothie. I read that the foot can crush ice, so I figured that it would be able to blend up frozen fruit. I used the blender jug attachment piece and added my ingredients, I then attached the foot and turned the Mixxo on. In order to activate the Mixxo you have to hold down two buttons and then release one, this is a safety feature, but it was a little bothersome at first because i was not familiar with the machine. After a few minutes I was able to get the hang of things and the smoothies turned out great. I even added extra ice at the end and the Mixxo was able to crush the ice with no problem. On my second attempt to use the Mixxo I used the food processor attachment. This was really neat. The base of the processor has suction cups which help keep it in place on the counter. I found it very simple to hook up because the hand piece hooks on the the top of the processor. I was also very pleased with how quiet it is. I was able to talk with other people in my kitchen when I was using the Mixxo. Additionally it fits perfectly on my counter and all of the pieces except the hand piece can go in the dishwasher. It was very easy to cleanup after I was done using it. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I would recommend this hand mixer to anyone. The Mixxo exceeded my expectations. Once again BOSCH has delivered. It would also make a great wedding present or house warming gift.
***Update***I've been using this as a mini food processor and potato masher a lot over the past 2 years! It's still strong and works well.
It chops onions (with no eye pain) and peppers evenly.
It easily granulates and mixes spices, rubs and breading mixes.
It can make smooth or chunky mashed potatoes in an instant.
I love this thing and will continue using it every day until it wears out.

Cordless for maximum flexibility in the kitchen, this handheld immersion blender works great for blending batters, pureeing soup, making milkshakes, and more. A 24-ounce blender jug with measuring marks and a secure-fitting lid comes included--great for blending and storing all in one container. The kitchen tool also provides a mixing container with a chopping blade. Simply detach the stainless-steel blender foot and attach the chopper for dicing onions and green peppers or mincing herbs. The unit not only delivers sufficient power for mixing and blending, it can also crush ice and supply constant power for up to 20 minutes. Even more, the cordless handheld immersion blender and chopper features a revolutionary design detail--it's the first in the world to be powered by Lithium ion batteries. Its lightweight and long-lasting re-chargeable lithium ion battery produces exceptional power, plus it remains relatively unaffected when left plugged in after a full charge, where other batteries often become compromised or weakened. Other highlights include an LED charge-level indicator, an ergonomic soft-touch handle, a two-button safety switch, an anti-splash blender-foot design, and a charging station. The blender foot, blender jug, and lid clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. The immersion handheld blender measures 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 15-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Hamilton Beach 59770 Turbo-Twister 2-Speed Hand Blender Review

I've had several hand blenders-it's a "thing" with me :) I started out with a hand-me-down from my Grandmother and after years of use basically wore it out. I've been looking for a good replacement and ended up trying a Braun and a Cuisinart. For all the power and attachments I still didn't like the Braun. The Cuisinart (Quick Prep) was loud, heavy/bulky and didn't seem to have much power. Here's what I like about this Hamilton Beach one:
-Manual says not to use it to blend ice but I do anyway and it does a great job of it
-I like the blade housing. The blade sits low so you can blend a tiny amount of anything (with other models you'd have to have a larger amount of food so that the blade can make contact). Also, with the openings around the housing of the blade less food gets stuck to it (when I used my braun half the food I blended ended up on the blender and when you're only doing 1/4 cup of something that's a problem). Also, the openings on the housing help to whip in air- important when you're doing drinks and shakes. The Braun also lacks in this area.
-I like that the bottom can be removed for cleaning (eventhough it can not be put in the dishwasher it's okay because when I'd put the shaft of the Braun in the dishwasher it would come out 1/2 filled with gross dishwasher water which defeated the purpose).
-I like the shape of the blade. The braun had 2 pointy blades where this one is more of an off set S shaped blade and it does a better job especially for frozen fruit, etc.
-At about 200 watts it's plenty powerful enough. Even though this has much fewer watts than my braun (which had 400)it blends MUCH better.

Great so far! I make Hot Pepper sauce every year and needed something with enough power to be able to grind up the pepper skins and make the sauce very smooth. Even my Cuisinart food processor has trouble with this task, plus it would leak hot sauce everywhere. Just got this and tried it on 2 different tasks. 1) I made a blended ice drink that was so thick it wouldn't pour! 2) I used it to grind some of my leftover pepper skins and vinegar. It worked very well but didn't grind up the seeds. Probably asking for too much there. Seems like it really has 550 watts.
I was nervous about buying a brand with no reviews, however I checked out their website and they have a 15 month warranty and their other products got good reviews. All the labels on it are in spanish with a small user guide in english. I compared it to the $100 Kitchenaid and I like this one better, especially at only $40. All the components seem well made and are stainless steel.

Waring Pro SB10 Professional Immersion Blender, Black Review

Waring Pro SB10 Professional Immersion Blender, Black

After my 15 year old Braun immersion blender developed a crack in its fixed plastic shaft, I decided to do a little research on a new blender. I looked at the Cuisinart, Viking and Kitchen Aid blenders and saw a common complaint regarding the detachable shaft's gear mechanism stripping out after extended or heavy duty use. These blenders seem to employ a plastic gear which couples with the motor housing unit. It seemed odd to me that they would use such a method especially considering these models also have powerful 200w motors. One thing I also noticed was that people were using these blenders to crush ice and other really hard substances, which I would never even consider to do with an immersion blender. Immersion blenders were originally invented to blend sauces and soups in the saucepan, so you didn't have to transfer the contents to a conventional upright blender. I know that these manufacturers claim that you can chop ice and other things that a food processor or upright blender can do, but honestly, I think this is a reach for this type of appliance and you're only flirting with disaster if you use this device for purposes other than simply blending softer foods.
Back to the Waring immersion blender. Waring has a respected name in the commercial restaurant appliance market for many years and in fact, invented the first commercial electric upright blender. Fred Waring was a band leader from the swing era and prime investor in the original company, which is where the name comes from. Actually, I started looking at the professional, restaurant version of this model (WSB33) which retails at over twice this model's price and saw that the specs were identical except that the restaurant's version has a fixed, non-detachable shaft, a grounded 3-prong plug and only a 1 year warranty. This model (SB10) has a detachable shaft for convenient cleaning and a 5 year warranty. I was a little concerned about how the shaft attached to the motor housing, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the metal shaft that the blade is attached to is directly inserted into the motor, much in the same way the rotor blades on a hand-held mixer is inserted into the mixer's motor housing. A logical approach and much more efficient way of transferring the energy of the motor to the shaft and blade.
Overall, this is an excellent value for $30, even though its motor is only 100w compared to some in this price range with double the wattage. Plus, Waring is well known in the commercial restaurant business for its high-end immersion blenders (some in the $600+ price range), so I figure they must know a thing or two about blenders considering their pedigree. This model works great if you respect the appliance for what it is: a pulse-style immersion blender for soups and sauces and light chopping; not a blender for making Daiquiris or frozen Margaritas. Leave that to the upright bar-style blenders.

It\'s never been easier to blend soups and smoothies, whip cream, and mix sauces and thick batters-the Waring Pro Professional Immersion Blender features one multi-purpose stainless steel blade that does it all! Two speeds provide precision control while the combination of a contoured grip and lightweight housing makes working with this blender a pleasure. The stainless steel blade stays sharp and the blade guard provides an extra level of safety.

I bought this product late November of 2009 and initially liked it fine. Here is what I wrote initially:
"Works fine. When you had a Braun previously, as I did, some of the parts don't stick together as easily as you are used to. Works fine though, and has a stronger engine than the Braun did. For pure functionality it deserves 4 stars."
Based on this I gave the Miallegro 3 Stars.
Now we are 10 weeks later and 2 knobs that hold the motor part and the attachments together have come off. Not good, obviously. Am now about to call customer service to get the product replaced and will update on how that goes.
But the fact that this has happened at all, shows this isn't a very well engineered product unfortuntely...
Consider yourself warned.
