Braun Turbo 400 Watt Immersion Blender
I’ve had several hand blenders-it’s a “thing” with me
I started out with a hand-me-down from my Grandmother and after years of use basically wore it out. I’ve been looking for a good replacement and ended up trying a Braun and a Cuisinart. For all the power and attachments I still didn’t like the Braun. The Cuisinart (Quick Prep) was loud, heavy/bulky and didn’t seem to have much power. Here’s what I like about this Hamilton Beach one:
-Manual says not to use it to blend ice but I do anyway and it does a great job of it -I like the blade housing. The blade sits low so you can blend a tiny amount of anything (with other models you’d have to have a larger amount of food so that the blade can make contact). Also, with the openings around the housing of the blade less food gets stuck to it (when I used my braun half the food I blended ended up on the blender and when you’re only doing 1/4 cup of something that’s a problem). Also, the openings on the housing help to whip in air- important when you’re doing drinks and shakes. The Braun also lacks in this area. but it needs to be replaced. I’ve used this alot for everything from whipping a small amount of egg whites to making my protein shakes, to morning fruit smoothies to making creamed soups.
