After reading about a recipe involving butternut squash, apples, and pears, I decided that I wanted to get a stick blender so I could make it myself. Time passed and I used the squash and fruit for other things. My husband remembered the comment, though, ...

Pros: Design, power, attachments, easy-to-use, price.

Opening A chef is only as good as his tools and last night at that critical stage of soup-blending, my Fred Meyer hand blender gave up the ghost. It was never very good for cooking, anyway. Luckily, I live within three blocks of two chef shops. ...

Pros: Easy clean-up, quick change attachments
Cons: No speed control

I've been looking around for a nice hand blender for a while and happened across this deal at our local Sam's club recently. I know that I shouldn't be buying myself things so close to the holidays, but at $30 I couldn't pass it up. All I really wanted ...

Pros: Convenient, Works well, small footprint on counter
Cons: Corded but that's not that bad as cord wasn't in the way.

I received this today as an early birthday present from my sister. She knows I have benefited from drinking Walker Low Carb Drinks several times a day. I just started about a month ago and the only hassle is that I have been using a blender to mix ...

Pros: Quick-chop that makes enough for a recipe, smoothie-master.
Cons: Bogs down on ice cream drinks and most parts need hand washing.

Pros: Easy to clean. Powerful
Cons: none

This is an amazing tool. I am vegetarian and get tired of chopping veggies especially onions. This is a great solution. It is easy to chop to the desired consitency. Very easy to clean.

I bought this so that I could blend up food for my baby. I love this. I still use this and she's almost 2 1/2 years old. I've used it to make my own baby food, grind up nuts, make soups, etc. Smoothies are next!

Pros: Small, Versatile, Powerful and Easy. Quik to assemble attachments. Cleans well.
Cons: Have not found any.

The Smart Stick was given to me as a gift. I have plenty of gadgets that I love and have been loyal to, so I put it aside. While baking with my 4 year old, I saw it sitting on the counter. We needed to crush Graham Crackers to make a crust. We were making  a huge mess, so I decided to put it to the test.  Within seconds The Smart Stick perfectly grinded up one cup of crackers and walnuts. It was the perfect size for my young child to manage and to tackle the small baking project. It is very simple to use, put together, take apart and it is dishwasher safe.
Now I use the Magic Stick for EVERYTHING! It makes a perfect cup, so I use it for my daily smoothies and any dish the requires chopping, mixing, or whisking... Including grinding my coffee beans!
I have very limited counter space, so this product has been a dream come true. It easily stores with my glasses, or on my counter top.
This prodcut comes with a 1 cup bowl to grind and chop food. A Blender Stick to Blend in a cup, as well as a wisk attachment.

Pros: Multi function.
Cons: Misses the wall mount.

I love this hand blender. It works as expected and worth the price. The attachment chops everything great and also creates a good paste of tomatoes etc. All the parts are dishwasher safe and very easy to clean. Very easy to manage as compared to the big food processors.
