We found that wide blade guards with large vents do a better job circulating the food for better and faster blending. ✔️ Blade guard vents: The blade guard is the dome-shaped part of the blender arm that covers the blades.
Cuisinart blender review portable#
Cordless models are portable and convenient, but they need to be charged between uses or you risk losing power before you can finish the job. 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. This is helpful when trying to maneuver around a busy countertop - though if you'd prefer no cord at all, we were also impressed with KitchenAid's cordless model. One of our favorite features is the thick power cord that doesn’t bunch up or get tangled. It doesn’t come with a lot of accessories, but it does come with a lidded 3-cup mixing jar that makes it easy to store leftover smoothies or dressing in the fridge, though we wish the jar was lipped for easy pouring. The handle is rubberized for a comfortable grip and the trigger is easy to press. It also didn’t suction to the bottom of containers as much as other immersion blenders we tested, and the blender attachment is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. It was able to effortlessly blend the ice and whole strawberries in our smoothie into a creamy drinkable consistency. It quickly became our go-to for smoothies because it was fairly quiet (nice in the morning when you're still groggy), powerful and easy to use. We were impressed with the quality of this KitchenAid immersion blender - one of the more affordable ones we tested.
This model also includes a food processor and whisk attachment, and all attachments are dishwasher safe. The jar's lid doubles as an anti-slip mat to place under the jar while blending. In our test, we found that the jar was too large for a small-batch mayonnaise but that the blender itself made a beautiful mayo in a smaller vessel. This pick came with the largest lidded mixing jar we tested (42 ounces), which is helpful for larger batches but does require more maneuvering for smaller servings. The blender attachment clips onto the motor with ease and feels secure.
The nonstick edge on the blender arm means you can blend in your pots without fear of scratching. The rubber handle is soft, narrow and comfortable to grip, and the “on” button is easy to hold down. It requires more up-and-down motion to blend uniformly, but we still found it easy to operate.
Some models create a vortex that pulls food into the blades and results in suction on the bottom of the container, but the Breville’s blade guard is uniquely shaped to reduce this, which allows you to raise the tool more easily as you blend and helps prevent splatters. It’s not a dealbreaker but can be annoying if you don’t have a spare set of hands around.This immersion blender offers 15 speed settings and has a lot of great features that make it our top pick. I also wish that the end of the device was flat so you could place it upright on the counter as this would be convenient if you’re whisking a batter and need to put the device down to add further ingredients half-way through whisking for example.
It is expected for a powerful cordless device and you are just holding the machine in place for most of the time but it is worth noting if you are expecting a lightweight appliance. The main body is comfortable in the hand and has a good ergonomic grip on it but it is definitely a little on the heavy side. Once you use it a few times you do get used to it but I was a bit confused at first I must admit! This means if you’re using the whisk and stop for more than a second, you must use the unlock button again before it will work. At first, it did take some getting used to as the machine doesn’t work unless the power button is pressed almost immediately after pressing the ‘safety unlock’ button. To use the machine, you press and hold the ‘safety unlock’ button until the blue lights illuminate and then press the power button to start it.
