Hamilton Beach 59765 2 Speed Hand Blender

Well Recommended! I used to have a food processor and a blender but haven’t in many years. I miss making my famous Potato Leek soup and Corn Chowder! So, my husband bought me this hand blender for Christmas. Oh. My. Word!!! It is SO EASY to make creamed soups and without the mess – just blend right in the pan!I have also gotten into nutritional milk shakes that just don’t blend well by stirring or shaking, especially if you want to add fruit or berries. Well, with this blender, it’s a snap! I even add…

My recommendation is buy this blender I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mixer/chopper/whisk. I was ALMOST put off by some of the negative reviews. However, I decided to purchase anyway; the price point (under $20) was too tempting. The negatives that I read were: 1) the blender doesn’t stay attached; 2) it is too low power to blend anything but soup; 3) it gets overly warm; 4) it doesn’t last; and 5) over time the chopper attachment leaves little bits of black plastic behind in the food. I cannot address 4 and 5, as I have only had this…
