love this item... my husband loves it more and has aquired it lol.... i dont mind. strong motor cute color, does what it says. arrived quickly, fair priced, and secure packge. would reccommend

I was totally impressed with this blender. I've never used this brand before but I'm now a fan. Not only is the retro design so cute - but dang does this model pack some power! First it's actually way bigger than I thought. The main red part fits it your hand so nicely (great and comfy design there) & its super easy to switch between the speeds & turn on and off with just one hand. The bottom part detaches/attaches really easy and the picture is deceptive because its definitely longer than it looks. Both parts feel sturdy and made with strong & durable yet washable materials. I actually used this to blend a smoothie right out the gate to see how it handles frozen/harder materials. I used the container that came with it - filled it half way w/frozen fruit and then added juice. It did a great job blending through - although it wasn't as fast as a regular blender - it did do the same job & for me even better because its the perfect amount for just one glass and the clean up was a breeze since it was only the detachable you had to rinse off. I'm super in love with this and the brand and cant wait to explore more of their products. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The motor should not be started until liquid is at a half full or at a level appropriate for ingredients. The black bottom cover adds some stability against sliding on the bottom. In most cases, low speed or slower first is best. It is easy to assemble with my choice being red. It may be a good idea to be keep it away from children as they may think it is a toy even if off. I used it to make a combo of green tea powder, milk, and ice cream and in this instance held it a bit to the side. If using soft ice cream instead of a drink perhaps a green tea ice cream blend is an alternative. I made strawberry drinks minus ice, one being a smoothie with starting pieces of cut fruit with liquid or water plus sugar, or honey added to taste. The same idea for cold drinks involved a Latte base and second drink of cappuccino powder. This was easier to mix than in a blender with less clean up as mine had some flavor chips in them. The oven meal meant, I mixed dry crunchy ingredients at the bottom and left it a short time to absorb a bit of liquid. It included some diced vegetables or seasoning and stringy items watched for tangling. It was similar to a quiche type of food with fewer eggs so added flour slowly. I was happy with the results as a first time effort product. Cucumber was also a first for soup and I used the long type, which has less seed problems. I added other ingredients and cooled it overnight leaving the consistency and taste more even. My last test will be in stainless steel to see how it works since sometimes I bake. The advantage of this type over another blending device is cleaning it as well as moving from one functional set up to another. This includes several differing textures or consistency food choices and a move from one container mix to the next. Besides being easier to clean over a drink blender, particles mostly stay in the container vs. settling in to different parts. I gave it a five because it seemed to be sturdy and was planning to buy something similar before testing this. I feel it will depend on if you wish to use the hand blender in the same manner and want simple to handle. My first time owning both the brand and type means my recommendation base is on the factors of what I made and the ease of first use. The last aspect deals with the blending compartment. I did not leave anything overnight in it, but even in a regular blender sometimes, taste of previous recipe choices can take over. This did not seem to be the case as was fast with soap rinse even with a bit of oil. If I moved from drink to other recipes, taste was not picking up or remaining to transfer over.

The price is amazing and the quality looks good to me. I am glad that I made the purchase of the product with multiple usages in a price usually for product only with one way to use. The product is not too big so it won’t take a lot of room in my kitchen. Love this <3this blender really makes my life easier. I can make baby food with it very fast. the quality of this blender seems good, better than my old blender. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I didn't expect this to blend so well but it did. I wish it had more of a grip but apart from that the motor isn't too loud and the product itself is very easy to clean. Overall I'm very happy with it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

No one really thinks they need an immersion blender until they get one. I don't use it every day but I am always so grateful to have it when I need it. Very versatile blender that can be used for so many things, my always to use tool for making smooth soups and sauces - even when very hot. The immersion blender is comprised of two parts - the top half with the motor and the bottom half with the stick and blade. The bottom half is removed easily and it is easy to clean. I just have to quickly rinse under water. Two modes - low and high. Very easy to hold while the blade moves rapidly. This is a welcome addition in my kitchen. I highly recommend this.

The Russel Hobbs hand blender is simple to use and easy to assemble. I love the retro red look that goes perfectly with the decor of my kitchen! It is a powerful and very versatile little tool that is perfect for blending soups, smoothies, baby foods, etc. I found it comfortable in the hand, it was not overly cumbersome while in use and it packs quite a bit of power! I used this for pureeing raspberries to make raspberry lemonade and it did a really good job. I also like that it is compact and convenient and only takes up minimal storage space.
