5.0 out of 5 stars Best Blender I've ever used!, January 27, 2010

This review is from: Nesco HB-17 Professional Grip 'n Go Immersion Handheld Blender with Attachments (Kitchen)

I am a big fan making hummus and smoothies, but taking out my big blender was such a hassle in my small kitchen. This blender is absolutely perfect. Powerful enough to crush frozen fruit, but very easy to hold. I was worried about immersion blenders because I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and the reviews on other models mentioned they are difficult to grip. However, holding this blender is easy. I also use the frother and the whisk attachment frequently. Since I bought this, I've never gone back to my big blender. Cleanup is an absolute breeze, and this immersion blender is way cheaper than the other models I checked out online. I highly recommend this!

This review is from: Nesco HB-17 Professional Grip 'n Go Immersion Handheld Blender with Attachments (Kitchen)

I bought this to replace a cheap $5 immersion blender. The failure mode was that the blender connection was metal, but the motor side was plastic and got tore up. I attempted to find a reasonably priced immersion blender with both parts made of metal but couldn't. As a result I settled on this one based on mostly good reviews, more attachments than most and the variable speed motor. I use this to mix protein drinks after my workout. After about 2 months of use, I am definitely impressed with the quality of it. The blender is a little heavy, but conveys the feeling that it is solidly built. I've only used the standard mixing attachment and the cup, which has handy graduates in mL and oz. I've used the wisk, but just as a hand wisk and it worked fine. The mixer can be a little hard to clean because there is an o-ring seal behind the blades. So far, the plastic gear on the motor doesn't show any wear. I'm hoping that this model is built and aligned well enough that I'll never have to worry about the plastic ring gear failing.

The idea is great. All of these pieces, 1 motor piece. Great, right?

Well the chopped attachment connects to the wand poorly. I used it once and it's already hard to connect again.

I use the immersion blender the most. It also has the largest flaw. There is a rubber gasket under the blade that traps food and water, which turns to mildew and mold. Can't clean under or around that. So my stick blender is pretty much not usable, because its not sanitary.
