I am on a liquid diet. I have been for the better part of the last year and that may never change. Most of what is easily available for such a diet is sweet -- ice cream, pudding, juice, jello, etc. One thing that has become a staple for me is Pacific Organic Tomato Soup. I love it. But the same thing could get tiresome after a while, and to prevent that from happening, I needed some good alternatives.
Soup is a logical place to begin, but I can't eat any soup with lumps, chunks, or solids in it. I've tried other soups by Pacific and I don't much like them. Typical canned soups are out of the question, and while one local supermarket offers a couple of delicious soups in their deli section -- a Thai coconut soup and an Indian curry -- they are very expensive and not edible in their for-sale form. (But they're great when this blender finishes with them.)
That is where the Breville hand blender comes in. After getting out of the hospital in December 2023, I did some research and narrowed the choice down to two hand blenders. One is made by Ninja and the other is this Breville model. I chose the Breville and although I have no idea how good the Ninja is, I am 100% happy about my choice. Among other things, the mixing container of the Breville appears to be a much better design than the Ninja's bowl. The handle and the no-skid lid that fits under the bowl for blending is very nice. Since that is what I do with my blender, I don't care about any other features of the Ninja, which is Amazon's "Choice." I have had mixed results with "Amazon's Choice" products. I don't find that "label" entirely reliable.
I can take a canned soup or one from the deli and very quickly puree it to the point where it is safe for me to consume. I usually add a little hot water to the mix before I finish blending to make it a bit thinner for easier passage through my intestines. I have been impressed with how quickly and effectively the Breville blender reduces the lumps, chunks, and solids to a uniform liquid that is as thin or thick as I desire.
This hand blender is easy to assemble after cleaning, comfortable to hold, and feels solid in every way. I have found cleaning it is simple and offers no problems. The original package included not just the blender but a mixing container with a well-thought out lid that the container can slip into and create a no slip base. The container is high quality, very useful, and, again, easy to clean. There is also a 3-Cup Chopper Bowl with stainless steel chopping blades and a whisking attachment. So far, I haven't used either one, but I might try the chopping bowl in the future if I come up with larger items that need to be chopped before they are blended. Given the quality and how well the blender works, I'm going to assume the other two accessories will also work well, but, not having used them yet, I can't rate them in this review.
As I wrote above, I am completely happy with this purchase. I don't write many reviews. The majority of products today are nothing special and hardly worth commenting on. I did write an unfavorable review for a Denon CD player that is as overpriced as it is mediocre. Because I didn't begin to use it immediately after its purchase, by the time I was in a position to rate it, it was already too late to return it. However, I waited four months to write this review after starting to use the blender immediately and I feel comfortable giving this five stars across the board. At $129.00 it isn't inexpensive, but if someone needs a powerful, efficient, hand blender, I can't see them going wrong with this one.

Blender is great but the attachments aren't
I bought the Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender after much research. The deciding feature was the guard at the base of the business end of the blender that protects your cookware from being damaged by the blades. I wanted to use the blender in my enameled cast iron cook ware and glass bowls as well as my stainless steel pots. Other brands of blenders warned against using them in the enameled cookware.The blender is great and works as I'd hoped though so far I've only used it in soups. It is powerful, easy to assemble, disassemble and clean. I was a bit leery of needing to keep the trigger depressed the entire time blending takes place but it is not a problem. It doesn't take a lot of force and blending time is supposed to be limited to one minute increments anyway. It also stores nicely in the side of my kitchen utensil drawer.My issue is with the attachments. The plastic chopping bowl looks fairly delicate and not likely to hold up to heavy use. I don't need it anyway as I already have a nice, robust, chopper. I also don't need a whisk attachment nor a 42oz plastic beaker. These are just storage space wasters to me. There doesn't appear to be any way to purchase just the immersion blender stick without the attachments.If one could purchase the immersion blender stick by itself, I would give it 5 stars. But, since it is saddled with these money and space wasting attachments, I'm deducting one star.
