 Screaming bargain! Oct 20, 2002
By fair_deal_guy
"BB"
I cannot believe the low price of this blender. It compares very well to other offerings from Cuisinart and Braun (and even feels more powerful on the high-speed setting). The cord is long and flexible (very handy in a crowded kitchen environment) and the motor is unusually quiet. This was such an incredible deal, I ordered another one as a gift.

about the lead warning.... Feb 16, 2006
By johnpaul
(ignore my stars)
i just bought an Oster wand blender yesterday and it had the same warning. i got worried and researched it a little. it seems to be a new CA law that things must be labeled if they contain lead. the lead stabilizes the PVC in the cord and protects you from being shocked. the lead has ALWAYS been there, but any product sold in CA must now warn you. google it up and you will see.

 Noisy, brutish, and short Oct 26, 2005
By Sarah Schwartz
I have owned and used several immersion blenders made by Braun and GE, and figured I would try the low end ones. The first I bought from Walgreen's for $10 and it was noisy and vibrated to the point that my hand became numb, so I returned it.
This blender
* is more noisy than the GE and Braun ones
* can be immersed in no more than 4" of liquid
* requires that "food must be chopped into 1/2 inch pieces before use" according to the instruction manual
* contains LEAD: the blender includes a warning tag saying that the cord contains lead and so one must wash hands after handling it, which seems unsafe for a food preparation product. In preparing a large meal with lots of dishes, it's not rare for the the cord to fall into the food. Certainly, one might touch the cord and then touch the food.
As with most safety regulations, it is hard to know how dangerous it really is for the cord to contain lead, but given that I have never seen such a warning tag on any other product, even the $10 Walgreen's blender, it doesn't make sense to take the risk.

Don't Buy It!!!! May 18, 2005
By K. Laere
We used this for several months until it started leaking oil mysteriously and eventually the blend spindle separated from the motor, rendering it useless.

A great gadget for the price Oct 09, 2002
By L. Squires
I have been looking for a hand blender for a while, but balked at paying the price for some of the other brands. At [the price] this blender just can't be beat. It is especially handy for making smoothies or whipping up a quick slimfast shake, rather than having to drag out the blender. It's a lot less noisy than a blender and cleaning it is a breeze. It's lightweight and compact, making it easy to store. I highly recommend this hand blender.
