Rival IB954W Ultrablend 2-Speed Handheld Immersion Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been making smoothies almost everyday and they come out great. Put my decaf coffee and 1% milk in the microwave and froth it with this stick-like device and in 10 seconds it froths. Have used it to whip baked potatoes into creamy mashed. Am always thinking I'm over-taxing its little motor, but no, I start it up and its still working.

Equipped with a 100-watt motor, this handheld immersion-style blender quickly purees soups, blends gravies and batters, mixes cool drinks and ice-cream shakes, and much more. The unit's stainless-steel cutting blade provides extremely smooth and even blending, while its protective blade guard helps prevent splattering. In addition, its long neck reaches deep into pots, pitchers, and bowls for extended blending options, eliminating the need to dirty extra dishes. The blender offers comfortable one-handed operation thanks to its lightweight design, ergonomic handle with a cushioned grip, and extra-large fingertip control button for low or high speed settings (shuts off automatically when released). For quick clean-up, the blender's detachable shaft can go in the dishwasher and the smooth surface of the blender body wipes clean with a damp cloth. Not sure where to start? A recipe booklet with great-tasting ideas comes included. The two-speed immersion-style blender measures approximately 3 by 3 by 15 inches.

Sunny Morning by Kalorik 18676T Blender, Stick Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Recently my roughly 10-year-old 400 watt Braun Multiquick gave up the ghost, and unfortunately the Braun hand blenders have become hard to find, or I would have run right out to buy another one. I tried this Kalorik model based on a recommendation from Cooks' Illustrated. Cooks' Illustrated gave this blender a "recommended" rating in a comparison with other stick blenders at the lower end of the price range. The jist of the article (or so I thought) was that nowadays prices have come down on these appliances and that it is possible to buy one that is functional for less $.
I knew from the first time I used this Kalorik that I was going to regret this purchase. I tried to make a strawberry smoothie using frozen strawberries, a fresh banana, and some liquid, as I have many times before with the Braun. This Kalorik struggled with the strawberries, which became lodged under the blade. It began to produce a plastic-burning smell and overheat. This was the first time I used it! I also quickly realized that cleaning up the shaft would be an annoyance. You can't just run it through the dishwasher, as I was accustomed to doing. It needs to be washed by hand, and though it comes clean fairly easily, the shaft is not designed for washing and holds water. Make certain to drain it over the sink. Ugh.
I have to say, I am a bit disappointed with Cooks Illustrated on this one and would like to know what they were thinking! Sorry, I'm looking for something that will get the job done.

Artland Iris DOF, 14-Ounce, Turquoise, Set of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set as a replacement for glasses I had purchased from another vendor a few years ago. Since some glasses had broken, I am very happy to find the identical set from another seller on amazon.com. Now I have a complete set again and have some extras for future replacements.

Vivacious bubbles lend a refreshing elegance to these glasses. The simple shape is perfect at meals both casual and formal. Put together a versatile set of glassware with goblets and shorter tumblers from the Glassware Collection (sold separately). Dishwasher safe. Imported.
