Comment posted on KitchenAid KHB100 Hand Blender, Immersion Black by moto moto
I had high hopes for this baby. But it needs a deep bowl or pan to work with, otherwise, everything sprays everywhere. Awful. It does come with a cute plastic deep container, but this is not always big enough, and your typical mixing bowl is just not deep enough to stop the spray. If you have a bit powdery mixture, you are gonna have a cloud in the house, dust everywhere. VERY disappointing. Also it’s loud, and wobbles a bit in your hand. No thank you, I will go back to my tiny hand held mixer. Bleck. Waste of money.

- After about 4 months of use the plastic collar that locks onto the blade attachment was sheared away. Motor still runs fine but the blade won’t turn anymore.
Rating: 2 / 5 - So far, I like this blender. It is very easy to use and to clean. Today, I made two smoothies with one banana, one apple, three small oranges and a little apple juice. The fruit was cut into chunks/quartered. After the fruit was blended, it was more like a puree which is what I expected. That is why I added a little apple juice.
The beaker has measurements along the side, which is nice but the numbers are hard to read. Apparently, you cannot buy the other attachments for this version of the blender. I did not know that because now that I have it, I would like to purchase the whisk attachment. It seems odd to me that a company would develop something like this but not so that customers could buy the additional attachments.
Added Note: I’ve used the blender a couple more times. Because of the shape of the blender attachment, it can stand alone in the mixture. I was able to stand the blender in the beaker, while I stepped away to get other ingredients. That was helpful.
Rating: 4 / 5 - This has the usual KitchenAid high quality we’ve come to expect. Sure, the specs were given, but without getting out a ruler or tape measure I wasn’t able to correctly picture the size of this mixer in my mind. It is quite large, especially when compared to the Braun I was replacing, making the KitcheAide a bit large and “unwieldy” to use. It surely does the job, and the variable speeds are great. It’s a fine product!
Rating: 5 / 5 - I’ve had the blender for about a year and used it extensively over the first couple of months, then not for much of the summer. The unit was cleaned thoroughly as per the instructions after each use. I just went to use it again and found that the food that I blended had been sucked into the blender shaft earlier in the year, and is rotting. A greenish-grey foul-smelling sludge leaks out of the blender unit – and there seems to be no way to clean it out. Further, the rotting sludge oozes out the motor end and the mating cavity of the motor end is now filled with mould. This is a serious health hazard, and users should be wary.

- Braun Hand Blender 600 Watt Variable Speed
I have had various Braun blenders in the past and am looking for a 220 volt Braun as I move overseas. Unfortunately, this listing gives no information except 600 watts and the price. Surely the seller doesn’t expect people to buy an unknown product at this price!

I love the Mixing cup, wisk and food processor; however, the plastic base of the blender attachment has several hairline cracks in it after only one use and the shaft is falling out of the base.

When I purchased this Braun Hand Blender, I did not realize that it does not work in the US. This product is 220 volt and we use 110. The electrical plug is the round European-style which obviously does not work in the US. I plan to return this item.

I like this little blender. The attachments are fine. The food processor is small and it does small jobs well.The blender itself is great, except don’t try and put ice in your glass which is where I went wrong. I bent the blade and it didn’t work very well. But I emailed Oster and within 1 day they responded they would replace the blade attachment for free. I have only had this tool for 1 month!
Very impressed.
