7 Best Immersion Blenders of 2022 – Top Hand Blenders

We updated this story in October 2022 to ensure all products are in stock and reflect current pricing, and we added a new pick from Vitamix after the most recent round of testing in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab.

Immersion blenders — also called hand blenders, stick blenders or wand mixers — give you the freedom to blend and puree foods without needing to transfer them to a full-size blender. Some are constructed as a single piece — the motor cannot be removed from the blender arm that houses the blades. Others are designed with a motor that can be attached to the blender arm as well as other tools like a whisk, mini food processor or beaters like those on a hand mixer. No matter the type, the best models can handle big jobs like blending smoothies and pureeing soups directly in the pot and smaller jobs like making mayo or salad dressing.

The pros in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab tested 13 models in our most recent test to find those that are easy to assemble, comfortable to operate and delivered on performance. To test each immersion blender, we blended a smoothie, pureed a soup and made a mayonnaise. We also considered the weight, power and settings of each model to find the best options.

Read on for more information on how we tested as well as what to consider when shopping for an immersion blender. We also weigh in on whether an immersion blender is worth adding to your kitchen toolkit. Looking for more blender recommendations?

How we tested immersion blenders

Jill Sollazzo

When the experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab assess immersion blenders, we put each to the test in common tasks: blending a smoothie, making mayonnaise and pureeing soup directly in a pot.

The smoothie evaluates a blender's ability to tackle ice and whole strawberries. The mayonnaise test indicates the capacity to emulsify, which needs to happen smoothly and slowly to create stability. The soup test helps us understand the blender's ability to puree large quantities of ingredients (including potato and broccoli) without splatter or leaving chunks.

We also consider the weight, comfort and available accessories for each machine. We review the instruction manual and appreciate quick start guides, helpful illustrations or images and tips or recipes.

Is an immersion blender worth it?

Our experts think it is worth it to add an immersion blender to your kitchen, especially if you are a lover of smooth soups and quick sauces. It's easy to use, reasonable to store and quicker to clean than a countertop blender.

An immersion blender is great for small jobs like making pesto, dips, mayonnaise, whipped cream and even scrambled eggs. Good immersion blenders can whip up smoothies, milkshakes and frozen drinks for one or two people — but that's where they cap out since the motor (and blades) are smaller than a countertop blender and cannot run for a very long time without overheating.

We do advise that you avoid hard foods (like nuts and seeds) or very fibrous ones (such as kale and carrots) because they generally won’t become silky smooth; for those, we do recommend a high-powered blender or food processor. Also note that with an immersion blender, the blade needs to be fully submerged to work; you may find that you have trouble blending very small quantities.

What to consider before buying an immersion blender

✔️ Corded vs. cordless: A cord offers constant power, but it can get tangled or burned or could knock things over on a busy kitchen counter and stovetop. Cordless models are portable and convenient, but they need to be charged between uses or they may lose power before you can finish the job.

✔️ Blade guard vents: The blade guard is the dome-shaped part of the blender arm that covers the blades. We found that wide blade guards with large vents do a better job of circulating the food for better and faster blending. They are also easier to clean because food stuck under the blades is more accessible. Just make sure the blade guard will fit easily in your favorite pots and smoothie cups.

✔️ Handle and grip: To operate an immersion blender, you’ll grip the handle with one hand and press the on, off or speed buttons with your fingers, so it needs to feel comfortable to hold and operate simultaneously. Your hands will fatigue if the handle is too large, if the buttons are too small or awkwardly placed or if the blender feels heavy. Also, the buttons should be easy to press without much force. Ideally, your fingers will fall naturally on the buttons when you hold the handle. We found non-slip rubber handles to be softer and easier to grip.

✔️ Design: Look for a model that's compact enough to store in a kitchen drawer. Though immersion blenders are easy to clean, we prefer models that have a removable blender attachment that is dishwasher-safe.

✔️ Additional attachments: Many immersion blenders function with a motor that can also be connected to attachments for chopping, processing, whisking or frothing. If you already have stand-alone versions of these appliances, you can save money by buying a model without the extras, but they can be a convenient option if you don't own the pieces or want to consolidate your storage. One accessory we highly recommend is a sturdy, tall and narrow blending jar: It helps ensure the blender is submerged, reduces splattering and makes the up-and-down motion needed to blend easier. Plus, you can serve or store food directly in it.

✔️ Wattage: We have found this is less important than other factors. The immersion blenders we tested had motors between 225 and 600 watts and although wattage is an indicator of power, we did not find that it’s a reflection of quality, performance or comfort.

While many people find storing a blender in their kitchen to be worth it, the smaller (and overall less expensive) immersion blender can handle a lot of the same cooking tasks with less fuss. And while they may not be right for, say, big-batch smoothies or crushing nuts into butter (which takes a lot of force), they work totally great for emulsifying soups, marinades, dressings and aïolis and, yes, for making smaller smoothies. In fact, I found that it’s pretty common to own both a blender and an immersion blender — but that the ease of the latter is preferable whenever it can be employed. “I use mine way more than my full-size blender and food processor,” Simply Recipes associate general manager Emma Christensen told me. “It stores in a drawer and you can pull it right out. There’s no transferring. It’s much easier to clean.” No matter which model you’re drawn to — likely from one of the few brands that seem to dominate the market — Cristensen’s points ring true. The immersion blender? “It’s all about convenience.”

Best overall | Best less expensive | Best even less expensive | Best simple | Best less expensive simple | Best with multiple blade styles | Best durable | Best with pan guard | Best cordless

Number of speeds: Some immersion blenders have set speeds, in which case I’ve listed the exact number you can choose from. Others have a variable speed, meaning you control how quickly they’re whirring with a dial or button that moves gradually from low to high.

Extras: Most immersion blenders come with more than one stick and blade. For this, I’ve listed all the additional attachments (whether that’s different styles of blades, whisks, or choppers à la a food processor), as well as any pitchers or cups that will give you a mini blenderlike setup.

Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender

$130

$130

15 speeds | Whisk, chopping bowl with blades, storage jar with lid 

The majority of the experts I spoke to named the Breville Control Grip as their favorite immersion blender. With 15 speeds, it’s the most high-tech of the bunch. “It is on the bigger side,” says food writer and editor Alyse Whitney, “but it’s really powerful.” Food writer and editor Matt Rodbard has had his for more than five years. “For me, it’s just really brought a lot of utility when making soups and sauces,” he says. “Plus I love the way it feels in my hand.” Posie Brien, a recipe developer and writer for the food site 600 Acres, has had hers for even longer — more than a decade. “I love it,” she says. “It’s so easy to use and clean. It’s sturdy and substantial and the motor is great. I really think everyone should be using an immersion blender more often. It’s good for eggs — if you blend your scrambled eggs with one, they’ll be so much creamier and better. It’s good for smoothies. It’s good for sauces of any kind, really.” And no matter what you’re doing, the rubberized lip means it won’t scratch the bottom of any pots, pans, or bowls.

Plus there are all the attachments. “You can use the blender function to purée pumpkin or smooth out a custard for a cream pie, then swap it out for the whisk attachment to whip up some cream to top it with,” says Petra Paredez, the owner of Petee’s Pie Company in Brooklyn and the author of Pie for Everyone. “It has a cup attachment that lets you use it as a regular blender, too, so it can replace multiple tools that would otherwise take up a lot of space. ”

Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender

$123

$123

Low-to-high variable speed | Whisk, chopper, measuring cup

The Cuisinart Smart Stick, favored by two of the pros I spoke with, has a variable speed dial that takes the handheld machine from low to high. That’s actually one of the features Christensen likes about it. “The controls are really, really easy,” she says of the stick, which she has owned for about five years. “Clearly, it’s built to last.” Chef and author Virginia Willis can certainly attest to that too — she had an older-model Cuisinart immersion blender for 15 years and only recently replaced it with this one. “I find it to be such a great tool,” she says. “Especially when it comes to making soups, it’s so much safer and easier than pouring the liquid into a blender. Plus if you’re making something like refried beans, it’s easy to control going partway blended instead of fully.”

Mueller Ultra-Stick 9-Speed Hand Blender

$30

$35 now 14% off

$30

Nine speeds | Jar, whisk, milk frother

The Mueller Ultra-Stick was a favorite of Strategist readers from a previous version of this article — and we can understand why. It has four and a half stars and close to 40,000 ratings on Amazon, with glowing reviews about the quality you get for the price. Many people noted the strong stainless-steel body and the force of the blade (it has a turbo speed setting for when you really need to kick it up). “At 500 watts, this immersion blender is more powerful than most,” says one. “The steel feels substantial, and the attachments are very easy to change.” Speaking of those attachments, the Mueller is the only one on this list that comes with a milk frother, a bonus if you like to make lattes at home.

Braun MultiQuick 5 Immersion Hand Blender

$65

$65

Two speeds | Whisk and blending jar

Cookbook author Julia Turshen uses her Braun immersion blender primarily for two tasks: making salad dressing directly inside a deli container (so she can store it in the fridge without dirtying two bowls) and blending soups, especially when she’s looking to purée just some to thicken the body. She appreciates the simplicity of its two speeds, which work perfectly for her needs without giving her too many choices, and she doesn’t “find the cord impacts my usage at all since nothing in my kitchen is terribly far from an outlet,” she says. “Most kitchens can probably say the same.” For two years, this straightforward model has held up great, Turshen says.

Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick

$40

$40

Two speeds | No attachments

For an even simpler blender that also has two speeds but doesn’t come with any attachments, this Cuisinart model is all you need. In 2017, Strategist contributor Hannah Howard said it “changed he5r life” — and all these years later, she still feels the same. When originally surveying the immersion-blender landscape, Howard saw that many came with fancy attachments and extraneous features, like bendable arms, and usually went for upward of $100. She wanted something simpler, so she settled on this extremely affordable unit. “What I love most about it is that it just has two speeds,” she writes, noting that she uses the lower one for things like pesto and the higher one for smoothies and purées. “It has 200 watts of horsepower, which is plenty for a hand blender.” And since it weighs about a pound and a half, it maneuvers easily into all sorts of pots, bowls, and jars (and fits in Howard’s “tiny Brooklyn kitchen drawer”).

KitchenAid 5-Speed Hand Blender

$146

$146

Five speeds | Whisk, chopper, pitcher, three different bell blades

Though it has fewer speeds than the Breville, this KitchenAid model has always been flexible enough for recipe developer (and soon-to-be cookbook author) Jessie Sheehan. “It’s a tool you might not think you really need, but it’s actually super-helpful,” she says. “I have a salad-dressing phobia — I always want other people to make it for me. But this really helps. I can make mayo or a fruit compote, or I can whip egg whites for baking with the whisk attachment. We have a Vitamix we use when we’re making smoothies en masse, but it’s nice to be able to make smaller portions too.” One of the attachment bell blades that come with the 5-Speed is, in fact, meant to be especially efficient at crushing ice. “It’s easy to use, and the cord has never been a problem because it’s quite long,” Sheehan says. “Plus it’s not crazy expensive.”

GE Immersion Blender

$49

Two speeds | Whisk and blending jar

The GE Immersion Blender comes recommended by Richard Rea, executive chef at the Butcher’s Daughter, who uses one at home and in his professional kitchen. In the latter, he says he probably uses it even more than the commercial model they also have on hand, pulling it out for creamy soups, cashew ricotta, hummus, and all types of salsa. “It’s very strong,” he says of the powerful motor and super-sharp blades. “It breaks through nuts — even some big, bulky blenders don’t do that. And it’s super lightweight and doesn’t make much noise (a little hum, but that’s it).” Rea has had the blender in his restaurant for two years (with daily use), and it’s still performing beautifully.

KitchenAid Corded Variable Speed Hand Blender

$40

$60 now 33% off

$40

Low-to-high variable speed | Blending jar with lid, pan guard

I’m a fairly recent immersion-blender fan, but so far, this KitchenAid model has performed great. Like Turshen, I’ve used it for bigger-batch salad dressings (it emulsifies a large amount quickly) and soup. In the latter case, I’m especially appreciative of the pan guard, which fits snugly around the appliance’s sharp metal cage but still allows the blades to whir freely. When I’ve accidentally touched the bottom of my beloved Dutch oven, it doesn’t leave a scrape. Another bonus: I own the black, but it comes in nine colors, if aesthetics are important to you.

In addition to her Breville, Whitney has this cordless immersion blender. Although it also comes with a pan guard, its standout feature is that it’s battery operated. “It’s helpful to not have a cord when I’m blending soup in particular,” she says. “You just charge it up like you would anything. And the charge lasts for a really long time — 25 uses, according to the website. I definitely don’t charge it very often.” Instead of a dial, this one has a variable speed button, which Whitney says is very straightforward.

TOP-12 blender manufacturers - rating of the best brands

Few devices are able to cope with as many tasks as a regular blender can do. This compact device is a real lifesaver for the cook. Grind, mix, beat - this is not a complete list of its capabilities.

At first glance, these units seem identical. But in fact, they are distinguished by power, the number of functions and other parameters.

To choose and buy the right model, first you need to decide which company the device is best suited for the intended load. And the rating of the best manufacturers will help in this. nine0003

BOSCH

The founder of the company, Robert Bosch, considered the key to success as the high quality of goods. Also, one of his principles was a respectful and caring attitude towards the company's employees and partners. Therefore, the brand has earned the trust of customers - the reliability of products remains unshakable today.

Household appliances powered by the mains, the company began to produce since 1933. The first of them was a refrigerating chamber in the form of a drum, and the brand's refrigerators are the most popular among Ukrainian buyers in the 21st century. Among small appliances for home and kitchen, BOSCH blenders should be noted. nine0003

Features of the manufacturer's submersible models on the example of MSM67166:

  1. The main nozzle is made of stainless steel, so it will last a long time - components of professional equipment are made from this material.
  2. The grinder has three modes. So you can get a product of small, medium or large cuts. Buttons labeled in the style of clothing sizes – S, M, L are responsible for switching to the desired mode.
  3. The power of the model also corresponds to the parameters of devices for professional chefs. 750 watts is enough to crush ice and hard foods. nine0022
  4. The ergonomic holder is covered with a special soft material, so it is comfortable to use. Operation is facilitated by large round control buttons.

Disadvantages:

  • no overheat protection.

Note to coffee lovers: 6 best manufacturers of coffee machines Initially, the brand specialized in radiograms, and from 19For 41 years, electric shavers have become a priority. Epilators and other electrical appliances for personal use of the company are valued by customers for the latest technology and ergonomic design.

Functionality and presentable appearance distinguish kitchen appliances - BRAUN blenders. Among their advantages:

  1. The blades in the MQ9037X move not only horizontally but also vertically. Therefore, to obtain a result, you need to apply almost half as much effort as when working with a nozzle that functions exclusively horizontally. nine0022
  2. Powerful and reliable devices are available in different price segments. So, MQ 535 Sauce comes with the necessary modes and nozzles, while its cost is affordable.
  3. Some models (eg MQ9045X) are equipped with speed control technology. The bottom line is that the intensity of the devices depends on the effort that is applied to press the button.
  4. The manufacturer also produces stationary units with turbo mode - JB 3060 Tribute, for example. nine0022

Disadvantages:

  • you will have to use a little more effort to grind food with pressure-dependent models.

ELECTROLUX

Creating a product, the company focuses on the convenience of its use. The vacuum cleaner should be lighter so that even a child can handle it. Refrigerator and stove are more compact to take up less space. Small appliances for the kitchen should also combine compactness and light weight with functionality. Appliances like the ELECTROLUX blenders are designed to be fun, not fatigue. nine0003

Advantages of brand devices:

  1. Most of the range is represented by stationary devices. But there are submersible models, such as ESTM3300, which are characterized by ease of use and complete set with the necessary set of nozzles.
  2. Pulse mode facilitates the grinding of hard and viscous products - garlic, lard, nuts. The ESB5700BK has this feature.
  3. The ESB5400BK program of the same name will help you quickly and finely chop ice for a summer cocktail. nine0022
  4. Each device has a sophisticated style. Smooth lines and a harmonious combination of colors make the devices a decoration of the room and pleasant to use.

Universal helper: top 10 manufacturers of multicookers The design department of the company works tirelessly on the appearance of household appliances, framing the high-tech "stuffing", offering new product lines every year. Starting with the production of stoves - gas and electric, which at the beginning of the 21st century enjoy constant success, the company gradually expanded the list of manufactured goods. Ukrainian buyers have access to large and built-in, climatic and small appliances for the home. nine0003

GORENJE Blender Benefits:

  1. Modern design and attention to detail make even simple devices stylish and attractive (HBX601QB, for example).
  2. Concern for comfortable use of devices has led to the creation of models like the HBX884QE. It is more convenient to store nozzles on a special stand than in a locker or box. And it looks more aesthetic.
  3. Especially for healthy lifestyle fans, the manufacturer has designed smoothie machines. The BSM600PR looks bright and cheerful, and the mixing container doubles as a bottle. You can take a fresh drink with you to the gym by closing it with a special lid with a hole. nine0022

The table will help you compare models:

KENWOOD

The company was originally famous for the invention of the food processor. The device performed the tasks of an already existing mixer with the ability to connect other nozzles - a meat grinder and a citrus juicer. The device was immediately appreciated by the hostesses, and the design became a classic of multifunctional technology.

Engineering and design improvements have resulted in KENWOOD's solid blenders that boast more than just understated style. nine0003

  1. Advantages of the brand's technology using the example of HDM708WH:
  2. The main nozzle has three blades, which makes it easier to cut and mix products.
  3. The aluminum of which the "leg" is made will last for a long time and effectively complete the task.
  4. The 1 liter bowl of the chopper will hold the ingredients needed to prepare the right amount of food.
  5. Whisk and grater included for whipping and slicing.

MOULINEX

"Moulinex sets the woman free" - with this slogan the company began to conquer the market of small kitchen appliances in the middle of the last century. In the 21st century, the “rules of the game” have changed somewhat, and an increasing number of men are engaged in cooking at home. Therefore, modern devices of the French brand are aimed at users of both sexes - they are powerful, stylish and durable.

MOULINEX blenders stand out with the following features:

  1. Those who are looking for a device in addition to the mixer and vegetable cutter should look at simple models without additional attachments and functions at a reasonable price (for example, DD100141).
  2. Powerful devices with two dozen speeds and a metal leg, like DD643132, will be useful for customers who often cook.
  3. The company also produces stationary type models with glass bowls with a comfortable handle.
  4. The devices are available in fashionable color combinations - grey-white, silver-black, white-red. nine0022

PHILIPS

The company's core businesses are lighting, health care and consumer electronics. Creating products for "mere mortals", the brand focuses on the everyday needs and needs of customers. Therefore, the trademark technique leaves a feeling of personal appeal of developers to each specific user. It is the concern for customers, shown in the development of intuitive controls and well-thought-out functionality, that helped the company earn the trust of Ukrainian customers. nine0003

PHILIPS blenders and their advantages:

  1. The technological effectiveness of the devices underlines the elegant design. So, in HR1602/00 there is nothing superfluous: simple, clean lines, narrowed shape of the handle, classic white color.
  2. For those who prefer stationary models, there are devices like the HR3556/00. The stable, durable model is made of stainless steel, and the power of 700 watts will be the envy of a standard handheld device.
  3. Large families will need HR1679/90. The device was equipped with all kinds of nozzles for beating, mixing, chopping and even dicing. The right amount of products will fit in a two-liter bowl, and titanium-coated knives will last longer than stainless steel "colleagues". nine0022
  4. Tip removal is easy with two dedicated buttons on submersible models.

Doubt? Which is better - a meat grinder or a blender: a comparison of 2 types of equipment

REDMOND

The brand, familiar from multicookers, also produces other types of small appliances for the home and kitchen. Among the most popular among consumers are REDMOND blenders.

Features of brand devices using the RHB-M2900 as an example:

  1. Hi-tech design makes appliances desirable in the kitchen of the 21st century. Strict lines, metal-black range of components, translucent plastic create a complete, stylish appearance.
  2. Stationary device, in spite of the case tending upwards, stands steadily on the surface.
  3. Various attachments allow you to grind all kinds of food.
  4. The containers have special lids, so you can take a fresh smoothie or other cocktail with you.
  5. The device is equipped with overheating protection technology, so you should not worry about the safety and durability of the motor.

ROTEX

Ukrainians have become closely acquainted with the company's products over the thirteen years of its existence. Kettles, multicookers, juicers, meat grinders are respected by customers for their reliability and affordable cost.

ROTEX blenders features:

  1. The range includes simple devices with one main attachment and units with a complete set for shredding, rubbing, kneading, whipping, and other functions (eg RTB830-B). nine0022
  2. The compact and inexpensive RTB3505-W will appeal to fans of stationary models who prefer not to overpay for a brand name.
  3. The design is dominated by soft, flowing lines and classic color combinations - combinations of white and gray, black and silver.
  4. Knives are made of stainless steel, so they will serve the owner for a long time.

RUSSELL HOBBS

Russell Hobbs is about more than durability and reliability. The form is as important as the content. Execution, design, color create a mood while cooking and make life brighter.

In addition to the impeccable appearance, RUSSELL HOBBS blenders have other advantages:

  1. The containers of stationary models can be used as containers for storing ready-made food. It is enough to remove the non-slip base, as in 21510-56 Aura, and cover the bowl with it instead of a lid. nine0022
  2. Multifunction devices (eg 23180-56 NUTRI BOOST) can even grind coffee beans and nuts. And the kit comes with five containers of various sizes, so that every member of the family - both an adult and a child - can take a healthy smoothie or vegetable soup with them to school and work.
  3. Powerful models like 21501-56 Aura are designed for those who buy a device only for its direct work - grinding. Blades and legs are made from durable stainless steel.

SATURN

The company has been manufacturing household appliances and electronics for over 20 years. The range includes air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, health and personal care products, large household appliances. Worthy of attention are small appliances for kitchen needs - air grills, electric ovens, waffle irons, coffee grinders.

Popular devices include SATURN blenders. Features:

  1. The availability of Ukrainian units is one of the most important advantages. Complying with international quality standards, they cost less than devices from England and France (for example, ST-FP0050). nine0022
  2. The company produces submersible and stationary devices, so everyone will choose the equipment to their taste.
  3. 1000W machines like the ST-FP 9090 will handle hard foods just fine. In addition, the kit includes nozzles for whipping, crushing, as well as a grater.

Which hand blender is better: video tips

Analysis of the category of hand blenders from A to Z and a selection of 6 worthy models0002 I have been repairing appliances for over 20 years. Since 2018, when I founded My Gadget, testing gadgets and keeping an eye on new devices has been my job. More than a hundred submersible and stationary blenders have passed through my hands, each of which I studied closely. With such experience, it was easy for me to formulate requirements for the best.

After studying the blender market, I selected five popular models and compared them with each other, guided by the following criteria:

  1. High power. nine0038 If the power of a blender is less than 700 W, then it will not be able to mix thick cocktails and solid foods, which makes it practically useless in a modern kitchen where a fruit smoothie is prepared with a blender and even minced meat is made.
  2. Chopper included. A blender should be versatile and be able not only to knead cottage cheese or beat dough, but also be suitable for working with solid foods: nuts, meat or even ice. For this, a grinder must be included in the configuration. Models without chopper were not considered by us
  3. Overtemperature protection. Due to their compact size, powerful blenders can get warm and this is normal. It is not normal if such models do not have overheating protection and they burn. Therefore, blenders not protected from overheating were not taken into our rating.

Rating of submersible blends 2022

9039

For this we used 3 tests:

  • Main nozzle test. We kneaded a mix of milk, frozen cherries and chopped banana, then passed the resulting mixture through a sieve and compared the leftovers. This test is necessary to understand the quality of the main nozzle and whether the declared power corresponds to reality
  • Chopper attachment test with vegetables. We loaded a large cut of vegetables inside and checked how well the blenders are able to chop vegetables. This test is necessary to determine the sharpness and number of revolutions of the knife. Poorly sharpened knives will turn vegetables into mush instead of cutting them. nine0022
  • Meat grinder test. We cut the chicken breast into large pieces and tested how well blenders can grind meat. This test is necessary to check the operation of the blender with solid products and whether there is enough power for a quality cut.

Wollmer G522 Katana became the leader. We were extremely satisfied with the test results of this model:

1 test - 4 points: In the first test, almost all frozen cherries were crushed and passed through a sieve.

Test 2 - 5 points: The vegetables on the second test were cut into small pieces and did not turn into porridge.

3 test - 4 points: The meat on the third test turned into minced meat, it can be safely used for cooking.

Total - 13 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the heading below.

Users also note the high power of the blender and the quality of mixing:

Testing Wollmer G522 Katana

The first test of the model put us in a positive mood. Particularly inspired by the convenient operation: two buttons and 20 speeds to choose from:

Video:

Photo:

The result is good and achieved thanks to the four bladed titanium blade. As it turned out, not a single blender is able to grind frozen cherries to such a state that its remains pass through a sieve. This made it easier for us to separate the leaders from the losers. And Wollmer was among the first. nine0003

Result - 4 points .

A confident start, but a more pleasant surprise awaited us. Chopper test at maximum speed:

Video:

Photo:

The blender easily chopped both potatoes and carrots and then mixed them. This mixture can be easily used, for example, for frying, if you add onions there. If it needs to be brought to a homogeneous creamy mass, then there is a main nozzle that does a good job of mixing homogeneous mixtures. nine0003

Result - 5 points .

The last test was just as easy. Confident work at medium power.

Photo:

The stuffing turned out to be homogeneous and without any complaints. But we didn't give it five points, since this option cannot be called the best by a margin, as it was in the previous test.

Result - 4 points.

Total - 13 points .

Thus, the Wollmer G522 Katana becomes the sole leader in testing and receives the title of the best. In addition, I would like to note the rich blender package. In addition to the minimum required set, which includes a whisk, a main attachment and a chopper chopper, the G522 set includes: an ice pick, a holder-stand, a recipe book and a smoothie bottle in which you can make a drink on the road using a removable blade. block. nine0003

This model has a very rare feature - it comes with a smoothie bottle. Since other models do not have such a bottle, we did not test it. Therefore, here is a video from the brand itself.

We consider the Wollmer G522 to be the best choice and therefore made a detailed review of this model.

In second place was the blender from Braun. After the experience with the device from Philips, we were skeptical about adjusting the speed by pressing, but this time the result was better. Brief test results:

1 test - 5 points: Almost all cherries were crushed with the main nozzle.

2 test - 3 points: Further, the performance of the Braun MQ 9027X went downhill - the result of the test with vegetables was quite average.

Test 3 - 3 points: The meat test was also not very impressive.

Users report low blender power:

Test Braun MQ 9027X

The first thing we did was to test the main nozzle, doing the same test as with the previous models. We found the speed control by pressing to be not very convenient. Especially if you want to include not the maximum speed.

Video:

Photo:

Since we tested at maximum speed, the result turned out to be appropriate - very good. The blender showed a quality comparable to the leaders. nine0003

Result - 5 points .

The first disappointment awaited us. The chopper bowl of this blender is significantly smaller than the competition, so we had to load fewer vegetables into it. But for the purity of the experiment, we kept the large cut:

The result is so-so. The contents of the bowl are something between sliced ​​\u200b\u200band porridge, into which vegetables began to turn. nine0003

Result - 3 points.

After the previous test, we didn't expect anything special from the blender.

He was acceptable. The meat was chopped into minced meat without turning into porridge. The pieces, however, were not entirely homogeneous - the control problem affected.

Next on our list is the blender from Philips. We expected a lot from such a technologically advanced model, but in tests it proved to be average. Summary results:

1 test - 3 points: The blender coped with cherries at the same level as the REDMOND machine.

2 test - 4 points: But we were satisfied with the results of chopping vegetables in the chopper: Philips HR2655 chopped them well. nine0003

3 test - 3 points: With meat, the result was worse - the lack of precise speed control was to blame.

Total - 10 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the heading below.

Despite the quality work with vegetables, users did not appreciate the work of the blender with fruit:

Testing Philips HR2655

We started with a test of the main nozzle. Philips has a measuring cup that is much narrower than other competitors, and is equipped with a lid that allows you to take it with you. nine0003

Photo:

Average result. At maximum speed, there are no problems with control.

Result - 3 points .

Then we went to the chopper and loaded the vegetables. Before Philips, no other model showed anything intelligible in this task, but the HR2655 showed some result:

Video:

Photo:

As a result, the blender still turned the vegetables into porridge, but before that he managed to chop them. If this blender had a more precise power control system, it could have done better. nine0003

Result - 4 points .

Difficulties arose with the last test, because here it was necessary to control the speed of rotation of the knives and try to keep it at average values:

Video:

Photo:

It is really difficult to hold the button in the middle position, the finger constantly breaks off, which causes the engine to stop. Therefore, the end result turned out to be ragged. Because of this, we can conclude that management is more of a hindrance than a convenient feature. nine0003

Result - 3 points .

Total - 10 points.

As a result, Philips scored only 1 point more than REDMOND, which helped him to take the final third place in the overall standings.

4th place - REDMOND RHB-2913

High power makes it easy to process solid foods on the device

Processes meat well, can make minced meat for cutlets out of it

In fourth place is the REDMOND blender. The device comes with only the necessary minimum of accessories, and the device coped with the work mediocrely. Brief test results:

1 test - 3 points: The cherries were crushed a little better than Bosch.

2 test - 2 points: The blender coped with vegetables in the chopper worse than all the other participants in the rating.

2 test - 4 points: The work of REDMOND with meat saved the situation. We were satisfied with the result of this test.

Total - 9 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the heading below.

Reviews say the blender is unreliable:

Testing REDMOND RHB-2913

The start was rather positive. We passed the mixture crushed with a blender through a sieve and washed it with water:

Video:

Photo:

There are much fewer crushed cherry pieces inside. Still not perfect, but already better than Bosch. Confident middle man.

Result - 3 points .

Testing the chopper at maximum power, REDMOND had far fewer problems. Before we go into detail about the test, take a look at it for yourself:

Video:

Photo:

The contents inside the chopper bowl also began to turn into mush before the knives chopped vegetables, but the remaining pieces were much smaller and no longer swirled so clearly along the walls inside the nozzle. This result was even worse than that of Bosch.

Result - 2 points .

REDMOND's final test was chopping a few pieces of chicken at medium speed. With this test, the blender had no particular problems:

Video:

Photo:

The pieces of meat did not turn into porridge and turned out to be quite evenly cut. Our expert group did not have any special claims.

Result - 4 points .

Total - 9 points .

The REDMOND blender was exactly what we expected. There are not enough stars from heaven, but it is quite capable of coping with a simple task. Fourth place.

5th place - Bosch MSM 88190

5th place

Large set with many different attachments

12 speeds suitable for working with different types of products

Poor quality of grinding frozen products. The knife is not sharp enough for this

Chopper grinds vegetables into a porridge, skipping the smooth cutting step. It will not work to prepare cuts for salad

Does not work well with meat. It can be used to make pate, but not minced meat for cutlets

Let's finish Bosch, which frankly disappointed us, although we had high hopes for it. Rich equipment and a large number of positive reviews promised an interesting device. The reality turned out to be much more prosaic. Summary test results:

1 test - 2 points: Frozen cherries were not crushed completely.

2 test - 3 points: The vegetables in the chopper turned into a mushy mass.

3 test - 3 points: The same thing happened with meat.

Total - 7 points: You can read the detailed text of the test by clicking on the heading below.

Customer reviews are not comforting:

Testing Bosch MSM 88190

First of all, we checked the operation of the main submersible nozzle: we added cherries, chopped bananas to a glass and poured it all with milk. A simple smoothie recipe that no device should have trouble mixing. The main difficulty is frozen cherries and their peel. We checked the success of the test by how much of it remains after 30 seconds of work:

Video:

Photo:

The result is depressing. At the bottom of the sieve was a huge amount of unground cherries. We thought that it was the products, but the results of the other participants in the rating convinced us.

Result - 2 points .

After the immersion part, we moved on to checking the operation of the chopper. First loaded inside raw peeled potatoes and carrots. The task of the blender was to chop the vegetables into crumbs. For objectivity, we gave all blenders 10 seconds at maximum speed:

Video:

Photo:

As you can see, some of the vegetables began to turn into porridge even before the Bosch blender chopped the contents. In the video, it is easy to see the potato pieces wandering along the wall while the chopper is running.

Result - 3 points.

After learning about the capabilities of the blender at maximum power, we decided to test how the blender copes with the grinding of denser products at lower power. Therefore, we set the average speed and scrolled through several pieces of chicken breast for 20 seconds:

Video:

Photo:

The minced meat also quickly began to turn into an unpleasant creamy mass, while the difference between the maximum and average speed is insignificant. The blender almost always runs around the advertised 800 watts.

Result - 3 points.

Total - 7 points.

Based on the test results, we left the Bosch MSM 88190 in last place. A large package is designed, rather, to hide flaws in the design of the blender, rather than expand its functionality. nine1154 Ice pick
