Obviously, there are a lot of uses for an immersion blender, but I got it to aid me in one particular task that has been nearly impossible with arthritic hands and a potato masher — smashing beans for burrito filling! Beans do not mash easily with a potato masher (they slide out from under mostly), and that was very hard on my arthritic hands and wrists. The blender did a bang-up job on the beans, which couldn’t get away from it as I moved it around, and up and down in a large, flat pan. I could’ve gotten the mixture even smoother if I’d wanted, and all in just two or three minutes. It was a bit noisy, but the vibration actually felt good to my hands, and clean up was a cinch. I look forward to using it on many other things that would be a trial to do by hand or any other method.

Do not use this blender to chop ice cubes. I tried and it shorted out the motor, tripping the circuit breakers in my house, and does so every time it is plugged in. Works great at blending thin items like soup and protein shakes, but don’t use it for thicker items like milk shakes.

i bought this item to make soap, which takes alot of stirring. this blender gets the job done asap, and was a good price.

My old immersion blender, which I loved, stopped working. It was very basic. No fancy stuff. So I’m really enjoying my new blender so far. Also basic but it seems to do the trick. I mostly use it for blending/pureeing soups. No need to spend more money on extra stuff if you probably won’t use it.

This blender is definitely not for anything major. I didn’t expect it to have such little power. It took ages to blend cooked vegetables in soup but would be OK for blending ice cream or a powdered drink. I had a Braun one that could blend raw fruit. There is no way this one would. Also you can’t immerse it very far so as I said if you’re looking to blend a big pot of soup, which is what I was hoping to do, you’re out of luck.
