All-CladElectrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender 2 Piece Turbo Function 600 Watts Detachable, Variable Speed Control, Hand Blander, 9-1/4-inch

It took me sooooo incredibly long to find the perfect immersion blender, but this one is IT. I was looking for a BIFL (Buy It For Life) option and this has not disappointed. I will update in a few years and let you know how it's holding on, but as of now, it's great.I- t feels incredibly sturdy, plastic parts are minimal (just the handle itself) and the whole immersion part is stainless steel. there's a little silicone ring on the inside of the immersion snout, but it's to prevent things from sticking and it's minimal. I'd be okay if it was all stainless steel, but it's WAY more than Teflon or a plastic attachment that I've seen. We are very concerned with forever chemicals and microplastics making it to out food, and there are concerns with both of those when you're dealing with hot liquids and high rotation knives - I can't imagine bits of those wouldn't make it into your food while blending.- It's powerful! We barely use much of its power and it does an AMAZING job blending frozen things or soups. The most power we use is to blend meats from cooking broth to make pierogi filling and it still does a good job.Overall, I was looking for a blender to prepare food safely for my baby and this did not disappoint. I'm so glad there are still good quality appliances! I would 100% recommend.

I really enjoy my winter soup coking. This immersion blender is expensive, but for those who want one that has the power and a perfect end result, this can't be beat. I started out 15 years ago with a cheap immersion blender and when it broke, I purchased a more expensive one. When that blender would give me disappointing results, I finally looked up "Best immersion blender" on Google, and decided on this one. This one has worked perfectly, and given its construction, I don't think I will need to buy another in this life....!

I upgraded from a kitchen aid that died during on the job. This machine is super powerful and well worth the money. Feels sturdy and looks it'll last a long time hopefully. Easy to use and clean. It's a little bigger then my old one but that's ok its still easy to store and handle. It does the job well.

I use this one daily, powerful motor, easy to hang on to and durable. I’ve gone through dozens of the cheaper versions but this one will outlast all of them.

I had an immersion blender for a few years and it was superb but I didn't realize at the time that most immersion blenders were not like that. And, so, unfortunately I did not take particular notice of the make and model. I tried about 3 or 4 well-known manufacturer immersion blenders after that one died (a plastic part broke that was part of how the stick stayed on the handle). Returned each of them for they were quite different from my original one; most were too heavy, some were so powerful that I had to have VERY deep container or whatever I was blending would spatter all over - including on me. Real problem with smoothies and w/small batch of Hollaindaise -which, surprisingly to me, is actually a VERY simple thing to me make as long as you don't have blender that will launch it into space on its lowest setting. So, finally, I found this make/model for a realistic price without a dozen attachments of which I would use only maybe two and it is not as heavy as the others, is easy to operate, medium to very powerful depending on setting you choose, sturdy and easy to clean. So, while it doesn't replicate my dead stick blender which would still be my preference, it does a quite satisfactory job on soups, smoothies of all sorts, Hollandaise and other sauces.

it's great, easy to use, stable to stand up between uses. makes a great smoothie in no time

Love it. A must!!

I bought this for two jobs, blending eggs for breakfast and a variety of soups over the winter. The smells emanating from the unit after a few weeks of use are vomit inducing and the support so far has not been prompt or especially helpful.Here's the situation: we owned a cheap cuisinart immersion blender for 7 years. It was low power, sort of lightweight and noisy but it got the job done and cleaned up easily until the motor died. When I researched a replacement it was right around the same time I'd decided to swap out all of our cheaper cookware with All-Clad stainless as well so I read some reviews and decided to make it a matched set. This is a sturdy and powerful unit but I make eggs every morning, for myself and my family. At first a began to notice little smell coming from the unit, so I took more care washing it. Then it blossomed into something really putrid, which left me reaching out to the manufacturer for advice, they of course suggested I wash it better and leave it upright until dry. This did not work... it seems to pull liquid up into the shaft while blending and it is impossible to get it out. I'm not the kind of person who gags easily. (I have kids and I'm always the one on puke cleanup when they get sick - no problem!)But I put my nose close to this thing once after a couple days in the drawer and I almost lost my coffee.For a $90 product I'm disappointed that it takes 2 weeks to accept it back for 'inspection' and I'm really disappointed with the fact that the inspection takes 3 or 4 weeks. I don't know what the final verdict will be but I've gone ahead and bought another cheap cuisinart which is working just fine and doesn't smell like death after use.
