What is the best hand blender


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

$70

$70

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

$35

$40 now 13% off

$35

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

$140

$150 now 7% off

$140

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.

Hand blender: how to choose a good one?

Comparing power
What about the case material?
Is there speed control?
Time of continuous operation
Checking the complete set
What else is important to consider?

Puree, milkshake, crush ice, nuts or herbs: the immersion blender handles these tasks and more. It is smaller and lighter than a stationary one, but may not be inferior to it either in terms of functions or in terms of power. About how to choose the right immersion blender for the home, what characteristics are important and what it can be like in our article.

Compare the power

The power of the device can be from 140 to 1500 watts. The more powerful it is, the faster the knives rotate, the more solid or thick products can be crushed.

  • Models up to 300 watts are suitable for mixing liquid ingredients.
  • Power from 300 to 600 watts is enough to puree boiled meat, vegetables, fruits.
  • Crushing ice, nuts or raw vegetables is more difficult. For her, it is better to choose an immersion blender with a power of 600 watts or more.

If you are planning to buy an immersion blender, how to choose the power will depend on the dishes you are going to cook with it. If the device is needed mainly for mixing or grinding loose products, a lot of power is not needed. For normal use, 500-700 watts is enough, and it will be a lightweight compact device that does not work too noisily, does not take up much storage space. If you will often use the immersion blender for working with dense or hard foods, beating at high speed, crushing ice or nuts, it is better to choose a power reserve (from 800-900 W or more). By the way, powerful is not always noisy. For example, the Polaris PHB 1384 Silent is quiet thanks to SilentPRO technology.

What about the body material?

To choose a good immersion blender, you need to pay attention to the materials of the following parts:

  • the main body of the body, inside which the motor is installed;
  • immersion part;
  • containers, glasses.

Main body can be made of steel or plastic. Sometimes materials are combined. Steel is considered more durable, reliable, but plastic also lasts quite a long time. It is good if there is an additional rubberized coating on the case. So, for Polaris PHB 0826AL, PHB 0523, Polaris PHB 0852 and other models, the Soft Touch coating is used, which protects against slipping and helps to securely hold the device.

The immersion part is almost always metal. Containers and glasses are usually made of transparent plastic. The base of the container can be rubberized, and this is convenient: it slips less. For example, the Polaris PHB 1399AL Titan has a non-slip base for both the container and the measuring cup.

Is there speed control?

All blenders are speed adjustable. For simple models, these are 2-3 modes, in devices that are more complicated, up to 30. Usually only 3-4 speeds are used. Dense products are best handled at low speed. The higher it is, the faster the device copes with its task, and the more uniform the resulting mass will be.

When choosing an immersion blender for your home, consider how the speed is adjusted:

  • step;
  • smoothly.

If there are few speeds, they are adjusted in steps, and usually each of them has a separate button. With smooth adjustment, you can change the speed using a rotary part (usually the upper part of the body, a separate disk or lever). Sometimes you can adjust the speed by changing the force of pressing the start button.

Some companies manufacture pulse and turbo blenders.

In pulse mode, the knives rotate as fast as possible, then stop. This is useful when working with very hard products. In turbo mode, the knives rotate at maximum speed.

Continuous run time

One of the important features to consider when choosing an immersion blender is the run time. When the device works for a long time without stopping, it can overheat and break. Polaris uses special PROtect+ technology to protect blender motors from overheating and overloading. This makes them more durable and reliable.

Checking the contents

The following accessories may be included with the blender:

  • Nozzle with knives. Inside it is installed a two- or four-blade knife for chopping or mixing products.
  • Whisk attachment. Needed to beat eggs or cream. Paddle knives can't do it: they can cut food, but they can't mix it with air bubbles and turn it into foam.
  • Tall glass (with or without graduations).
  • Mashed potato attachment. If you just chop the potatoes, the mass will turn out to be thick, viscous. It can be made air only with the help of a special nozzle.
  • Chopper bowl. In it, you can turn meat into minced meat, grate cheese or make vegetable puree.
  • Nozzles for cutting (cubes, slices), shredders. With these accessories, the blender is closer in functionality to a food processor.

Pay attention to the shape and quality of the knives. The main knife usually has slightly curved blades so that it can both chop and mix. To keep knives sharp longer, Polaris PHB 1481AL TITAN, Polaris PHB 1036AL Titan and some other models use special 4 PRO TITAN steel with titanium coating.

How to choose an immersion blender for the home by the number of attachments, everything is simple: the more there are, the more functional the appliance. Please note that the nozzles will need storage space. When buying an immersion blender for the home, it is better to focus on how you will use it: if only knives and a whisk are enough, and there is not enough storage space, you may not choose a model with the maximum configuration.

What else is important to consider?

When choosing a blender for functionality, consider what appliances you already have at home. If you have a food processor or kitchen machine for complex tasks, and you need an immersion blender for quick mixing or chopping, you can buy a simpler model. If the device has to replace a mixer, slicer, meat grinder and other devices, it is better if the power and functionality are maximized.

To choose a quality immersion blender, look at the manufacturer's warranty. Its term must be at least a year, and the device itself must be certified.

Top 5: Best Immersion Blenders | 2022 Ranking

 ⭐ Below is a list of the top 5 M-G Immersion Blenders. This material is updated regularly. We remove obsolete devices from here and add the most relevant ones. At the end of 2022, the best blender in terms of price / quality is the Wollmer G522 Katana. 

From a huge variety of immersion blenders, we took the 5 most popular models that often appear in all kinds of tops and reviews and have a high user rating. After that, we conducted a series of tests and determined the winner.

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.
  • Chopper attachment test with vegetables. We loaded a large cut of vegetables inside and checked how well the blenders are able to chop vegetables.
  • Meat grinder test. We cut the chicken breast into large pieces and tested how well blenders can grind meat.

Let's not stir up intrigue: Wollmer G522 Katana submersible blender won. It showed itself perfectly in 3 tests, has a rich package, is easy to use and copes even with solid products.

⭐ Our choice (2022)

Handles hard foods with a maximum power of 1200 W and a titanium blade

Ideal for home use. Efficiently whips, mixes and grinds, and all 3 tests confirmed this

Rich equipment: whisk, chopper and bowl, smoothie bottle, ice crusher, recipe book

Immersion Blender Ranking 2022

Place Model Total score

5th place — Bosch MSM 88190

5th place

Large set, which has a lot of different nozzles

12 speeds suitable for working with different types of products

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

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

Does not work well with meat. You can make pate in it, but not minced meat for cutlets

Rich equipment - low quality

Bosch MSM 88190

Let's start with 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: Vegetables in the chopper turned into a mushy mass.

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

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

Testing Bosch MSM 88190

First of all, we tested 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:

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 seeing the capabilities of the blender at maximum power, we decided to test how the blender handles denser foods at lower power. Therefore, we set the average speed and scrolled through several pieces of chicken breast for 20 seconds:

Video:

Photo:

The stuffing also began to turn into an unpleasant creamy mass quite quickly, 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.

4th place - REDMOND RHB-2913

4th place

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

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

Works poorly with frozen berries, grinds them incompletely

Small package, suitable for working with a small amount of products

Chopper does not chop vegetables well, turning them into porridge

Budget option - minimum package

Yandex.Market | 5 320 ₽ | Shop

OZON | 5 320 ₽ | Shop

REDMOND RHB-2913

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. Summary test results:

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

2 test - 2 points: The blender coped with the 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.

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

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 yourself:

Video:

Pictures:

The contents inside the chopper bowl also began to turn into mush before the knives chopped the 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 .

The last test for REDMOND was chopping several pieces of chicken at medium speed. With this test, the blender had no particular problems:

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.

Philips HR2655

Next on our list is a 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.

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 test text by clicking on the title below.

Test Philips HR2655

We started by testing 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.

Photo:

The result is average. 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:

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

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.

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.

2nd place - Braun MQ 9027X

2nd place

Braun MQ 9027X

In second place was a 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.

Total - 11 points: You can find the detailed text of the test by clicking on the title below.

Test Braun MQ 9027X

The first thing we did was 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 were testing at maximum speed, the result turned out to be appropriate - very good. The blender showed a quality comparable to the leaders.

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:

Video:

Photo:

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

Result - 3 points.

After the previous test, we did not expect anything special from the blender.

Video:

Photo:

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.

Result - 3 points .

Total - 11 points .

Wollmer G522 Katana

Wollmer G522 Katana became an unexpected leader. Unexpected, because this is a new direction of Wollmer technology, which is famous primarily for meat grinders. We were extremely satisfied with the test results of this model:

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

2 test - 5 points: 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.

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.

Result - 4 points .

A confident start, but then 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.

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.

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.

Philips HR2655

We appreciated the must-have features for a good immersion blender in the kitchen - the ability to mix a homogeneous mass with a immersion attachment and finely grind different types of food with a chopper. Now we know which immersion blender is better to choose for the home.

During testing, we found that adjusting the speed of rotation of the blades by pressing the button is an extremely inconvenient feature. And impressive equipment can serve to cover up other shortcomings of the blender, as happened with Bosch.
