All-Clad Electrics Stainless Steel Immersion Blender 2 Piece Turbo Function 600 Watts Detachable, Variable Speed Control, Hand Blander, 9-1/4-inch

I wasn't certain if I would like this because it is so much larger than my other immersion blenders, but wow, I love it! It has a larger head and so it does a much better job of whatever you want to use it for. I use it for soapmaking. It doesn't take long to have the results you are looking for and I like that it is longer and has a great warranty. I tried to register it online and the company web site wouldn't take the information, so I contacted them directly and they registered it with the information that I provided, so this has been a great experience thus far. I like that it doesn't have a safety button that you have to hold down in order to use it, but by the same token, you need to be careful that you unplug it before sticking your hands in the blades to clean it (which is just common sense). The variable twist power switch is a nice feature. The bottom comes off and it cleans up easily. The cord is long enough as well. This is a powerful unit that I am very happy with.

It took me sooooo incredibly long to find the perfect immersion blender, but this one is IT. I was looking for a BIFL (Buy It For Life) option and this has not disappointed. I will update in a few years and let you know how it's holding on, but as of now, it's great. I- t feels incredibly sturdy, plastic parts are minimal (just the handle itself) and the whole immersion part is stainless steel. there's a little silicone ring on the inside of the immersion snout, but it's to prevent things from sticking and it's minimal. I'd be okay if it was all stainless steel, but it's WAY more than Teflon or a plastic attachment that I've seen. We are very concerned with forever chemicals and microplastics making it to out food, and there are concerns with both of those when you're dealing with hot liquids and high rotation knives - I can't imagine bits of those wouldn't make it into your food while blending. - It's powerful! We barely use much of its power and it does an AMAZING job blending frozen things or soups. The most power we use is to blend meats from cooking broth to make pierogi filling and it still does a good job. Overall, I was looking for a blender to prepare food safely for my baby and this did not disappoint. I'm so glad there are still good quality appliances! I would 100% recommend.

Best kitchen tool I’ve used in a long time

So, let me tell you about my ongoing saga with immersion blenders—it's become this quiet tragedy in my little restaurant kitchen, the kind where you keep hoping the next one will be "the one," but deep down you know you're just delaying the inevitable.It all started innocently enough. Back when I was green at this whole owning-a-restaurant thing, I figured those $20 Amazon specials would do the trick. Bought two. Both gave up the ghost after about a month, like they realized restaurant life wasn't for them and quietly retired. Then came the big Vevor beast early in the summer—it's still soldiering on, but lately it's making those ominous rattling sounds that say, "I'm trying, boss, but I'm tired."Not learning my lesson, I thought the KitchenAid cordless would change everything. No cords! Freedom! Turns out it had the power of a polite suggestion and a battery that stopped holding a charge after two weeks. It just... stopped. Like it had somewhere better to be.By this point, I was starting to question my life choices, but I pressed on. Enter the All-Clad. I unboxed it and immediately thought, this thing is serious. Powerful enough that I half-jokingly figured I could bolt it to my old john boat and it'd push me across the Atlantic without complaint. For the first couple months, it was perfect—turning mountains of garbanzo beans into the smoothest hummus you've ever tasted, handling four-gallon pots of tomato basil soup like it was blending air.I actually started to believe I'd finally found a reliable partner.And then, one day, it wasn't. The shaft attachment gave up—that little plastic insert in the motor housing came loose, and now when you click it on, the whole thing just spins uselessly. No resistance, no blending, just a sad whirring helicopter impersonation. I'm pretty sure one of the cooks got a bit overzealous snapping it in, or maybe the daily bumps and chaos finally won. Either way, it hurt. For the $130 I'd spent, I was tempted to break out the epoxy and MacGyver it back together. Might still try.I know the fine print says "home use," and I'm not blaming All-Clad—my place only seats 36, it's not some high-volume factory. But we're still asking more of it than blending the occasional smoothie. Just not quite ready to drop $600-plus on those full-on Waring commercial tanks, impressive as they are; they're built like bricks and take up way too much precious space.

Super good! No plastic! Powerful!

I bought this immersion blender to make Pai Tan ramen noodle soup, for which I need to blend the chicken with bones and all. This blender is very powerful and works very fast. It consistently makes very smooth blends. It is, however, very strong, and you will likely need somewhat strong hands to hold it steady.

I bought this for two jobs, blending eggs for breakfast and a variety of soups over the winter. The smells emanating from the unit after a few weeks of use are vomit inducing and the support so far has not been prompt or especially helpful. Here's the situation: we owned a cheap cuisinart immersion blender for 7 years. It was low power, sort of lightweight and noisy but it got the job done and cleaned up easily until the motor died. When I researched a replacement it was right around the same time I'd decided to swap out all of our cheaper cookware with All-Clad stainless as well so I read some reviews and decided to make it a matched set. This is a sturdy and powerful unit but I make eggs every morning, for myself and my family. At first a began to notice little smell coming from the unit, so I took more care washing it. Then it blossomed into something really putrid, which left me reaching out to the manufacturer for advice, they of course suggested I wash it better and leave it upright until dry. This did not work... it seems to pull liquid up into the shaft while blending and it is impossible to get it out. I'm not the kind of person who gags easily. (I have kids and I'm always the one on puke cleanup when they get sick - no problem!) But I put my nose close to this thing once after a couple days in the drawer and I almost lost my coffee. For a $90 product I'm disappointed that it takes 2 weeks to accept it back for 'inspection' and I'm really disappointed with the fact that the inspection takes 3 or 4 weeks. I don't know what the final verdict will be but I've gone ahead and bought another cheap cuisinart which is working just fine and doesn't smell like death after use.

Love. Now we enjoy a latte every morning! So easy and delightful.
