Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 59735 Immersion Hand Blender, White
Customer Review: Value for money
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this a while ago to blend up my baby's food. This is very good for small portions of food compared to those regular food processor (i've sold it since getting this blender). Cleans easily too (be sure to do so straight after use). Definitely worth every dime.Customer Review: fantastic basic purpose immersion blender
Summary: 4 Stars
we got this immersion blender because of the price point and we wanted one for soups and baby food. we're very pleased with this blender. it works really well for baby food and is able to blend stuff to the right consistency for our 6 month old baby. our only complaint with it is that after a while your finger hurts holding the "engage" button, as noted by someone else.
other than that one complaint, great immersion blender for twice the price.
Customer Review: Great! Highly recommend, but...
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't expect more than basic immersion blender functions! It's one of my favorite gadgets in my kitchen. I use it for pureeing for soups, scrambling larger amounts of eggs so they're light and fluffy, mixing puddings and jello, whipped cream, some less chunky smoothies. I occasionally do mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, but after butter, milk and whatever other stuff is added and in a deep bowl or can be a mess. Lots of uses!
However, don't expect it to do more hard core kitchen things and replace a blender and/or food processor. It doesn't (effectively IMO) mash up some types of big, chunky fruit especially frozen, chop nuts, certainly not ice! For that stuff you're going to need to spend more than $12.99 and get a wazoo style, more powerful and maybe with attachments.
Serious bang for your buck though! I've had mine for 2 years and have used it a lot!
Customer Review: Not good for smoothies
Summary: 2 Stars
Do not use this blender to chop ice cubes. I tried and it shorted out the motor, tripping the circuit breakers in my house, and does so every time it is plugged in. Works great at blending thin items like soup and protein shakes, but don't use it for thicker items like milk shakes.Customer Review: Nice item for the money you pay

My wife found this item handy and very useful. It does the job perfectly... It could have been even better if the bottom portion be removable. That would have made me give a perfect 5 star.
