12 Best Immersion Blenders [Tested and Reviewed]

The Breville Control Grip BSB510X is a product that serves as a blender, whipper, and chopper all in one. Its blender bottle has a large capacity of 42oz, which is notable for its ability to mix a large amount of ingredients at once. 

It excels in both mixing and crushing ice, capable of finely and evenly chopping ingredients, ideal for creating smoothies and frozen drinks with a smooth texture. It comes with an 8-level speed adjustment feature, allowing for fine-tuning to achieve the ideal texture, which is useful not only for drinks, but also for creating soups, mashed potatoes, and other dishes. 

Despite some water coming out in the process, the chopper did a virtually uniform job of dicing an onion, simplifying preparation. While it took 2 minutes and 45 seconds to whip cream, which is not as efficient as a hand mixer, it's less tiring and easier to operate.

The handle is wide and tapered, and made of silicone, which is easy to grip and slip-resistant, which is a great feature. Despite the weight of the rather powerful unit, the design enhances the ease of use and does not make it feel unwieldy. 

With the exception of the chopping bowl lid, whisk gearbox and motor body, you can clean the product in a dishwasher, making cleanup easy and hassle-free, which is another positive point.

 
This powerful and easy-to-use product is also easy to maintain. It's likely to be the first choice for those considering an immersion blender, useful not only for everyday meals and special occasion dishes, but also for making baby food.

Braun's MultiQuick 5 Immersion Hand Blender MQ505 is a product that allows for two-speed adjustment. It comes with a whisk and a 20oz Blender Bottle. 

The blending power is high, so smoothies come out very smooth. You barely feel the fibrous texture of leafy vegetables or the graininess of fruits. Also, it can make frozen drinks without any pulp residue, so there's no issue with its ice-crushing power.

 
In terms of whisking speed, it was able to whip cream within 3 minutes. Although it's inferior to the speed of a hand mixer, it's less burdensome than manual whisking. 

Another attractive aspect is its ease of cleaning. All parts except the blender bottle lid are dishwasher safe, so it's nice to just rinse off the major stains and then leave it to the dishwasher.

 
Our user-friendliness test left room for improvement. The handle is made of silicone, so it doesn't slip, but there's no concave shape and the buttons are hard, so those with small hands might find it difficult to grip. 

However, this product comes with a blender and whisk set necessary for baking, and the crucial blending power is flawless. It can be said to be perfect for those who mainly use an immersion blender for making sweets.

The Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender CSB-179P1 is equipped with a speed adjustment feature, which is adjusted by turning a dial on the upper part of the body. 

It received high ratings for both its stirring and ice-crushing power. Smoothies and frozen drinks turned out smooth, and taste-testers also praised their pleasant drinking experience. Because it can evenly cut ingredients, it will be useful for making not only drinks but also soups and side dishes. 

Onions chopped with the chopper were the most finely chopped, but there were noticeably large chunks left here and there. Also, the time it took to whip cream was 2 minutes and 45 seconds, which is slower than a hand mixer. However, it's less burdensome than doing so by hand and allows for easy whipping. 

The handle is easy to grip thanks to its contoured shape and slip-resistant design. However, there's a lock button that must be pressed before the operation button will work, which may be a bit awkward for people with small hands. 

It didn't score well in terms of ease of cleaning. The work bowl, chopping blade, and metal whisk can all be washed in a dishwasher; however, the crucial blender attachment is not dishwasher-compatible, and this adds some hassle as it needs to be washed by hand.

Bonsenkitchen's Immersion Hand Blender HB3203 comes with a chopper and whisk attachment. The blender's blade is designed to prevent splattering and sticking of food ingredients. 

However, the blending power seems to be insufficient. It was able to blend everything, but occasionally, we noticed vegetable fibers and fruit peels in the final product, making it not so easy to drink. On the other hand, there were no problems with the ice-crushing power, and we were able to make a smooth frozen drink with no noticeable pieces of frozen strawberry.

 
The onions chopped using the chopper attachment were finely and evenly cut, even though some juice was released, giving the impression that preparations could be done quickly. It took 2 minutes and 15 seconds to whisk, but while it does not match the speed of hand mixers, it does make whisking easier compared to doing it manually.

 
In the ease of the handling test, our rating was slightly lowered due to the blender's weight of 1.65 pounds when attached. However, with features such as a narrowed grip and non-slip material, it is unlikely that you will feel awkward handling it. In addition, while the blade cannot be removed, everything except the body and the chopper bowl lid can be washed in the dishwasher, making maintenance easy.

The Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender KZ800D51 by All-Clad is a cordless product, which is powered via charging. It does not come with any attachments. 

Not only can it evenly blend ingredients, but it can also smooth them out, earning high ratings in tests for both its mixing and ice-crushing power. The smoothies and frozen drinks it makes are pleasingly smooth; you won't feel any fibers of vegetables or particles of fruits, which make its smoothies easy to drink. 

Its easy maintenance is another strong point of this product. Since the blender attachment is dishwasher-safe, it saves you the trouble of hand washing. However, the weight of the main unit with the blender attached is 1.67 pounds, which is somewhat heavy. Plus, the handle lacks features such as a slim area for easy grip or non-slip material. Therefore, you may find it difficult to handle.

The Immersion Blender G8H1AASSPSS from the GE Appliances brand operated by Haier US Appliance Solutions is a product that comes with a chopper and whipper. Its speed can be adjusted in two stages, low and high. 

It produced excellent results in both stirring and ice-crushing abilities, resulting in a smooth, pleasant-tasting smoothie and frozen drink. In particular, the smoothie was smooth and juice-like, which left an impressive ease of drinking.

 
The onion minced using the chopper let out water, but was finely cut, with no complaints about the chopper's capability. The time it took to whip cream was not particularly quick at 3 minutes, but you can do so without getting tired compared to hand whipping.

Another plus is that everything, except the main body and chopper bowl lid, can be washed in a dishwasher. However, it was rated low in our ease of handling test. Being made of stainless steel, the main body is heavy, and its weight when the blender is attached is 1.85 pounds. The handle is made of non-slip material, but our testers’ hands got tired after operating it for only 3 minutes, hence its low recommendation for long term use.

The Powerful Immersion Blender PE-302 from Peach Street is a simple product that only has a blender function, with no attachments like a chopper or whisk included. 

It doesn't have very high mixing power, resulting in smoothies that can't really be described as smooth. While it's not undrinkable, the fibers from vegetables and particles of fruits were noticeable, giving us an impression that it's difficult for it to chop ingredients evenly. However, its ice-crushing power was satisfactory, and it was able to successfully blend a frozen drink out of frozen strawberries. 

The blades can't be detached, but everything other than the main body can be cleaned in a dishwasher, which is convenient. Also, the blender is quite light at 1.38 pounds even when attached, which is nice. Furthermore, the handle is tapered for easy gripping. However, it doesn't come with a non-slip grip, so be careful not to let it slip when your hands are wet.

The Vita-Mix Immersion Blender VM0219 is a product characterized by its two-blade blending attachment, which is the only attachment in the set. 

Because its blending power is weak, small chunks of vegetables and fruit were noticed in the smoothie, so an easily-drinkable smoothie will be difficult. However, there were no issues with its ice-crushing power, and it left a good impression for its ability to create frozen drinks that were easy and enjoyable to drink.

 
However, in terms of ease of use and ease of care, it received low ratings. The weight of the body when attached to the blender is quite heavy at 2.64 pounds, and your hands may get tired when using it. In addition, as it cannot be washed in a dishwasher, it also requires the effort of hand washing.

The Immersion Hand Blender KHBV53ER from KitchenAid, a brand managed by Whirlpool Corporation, is a product that operates just by the push of a button. The blender bottle comes with a lid, so it's possible to store a drink after you make it. 

When making a smoothie to test blending power, however, it fell a bit short of achieving the pleasant texture desired. Although there were no large chunks of vegetables or fruit, we did feel the scratchy texture from leafy vegetable fibers. On the other hand, it gained high ratings for its ice-crushing ability, resulting in frozen drinks so smooth that there was no need for chewing. 

But it scored low for both ease of use and maintenance. The handle doesn't have any special design for easy gripping and it weighs a noticeable 1.74 pounds. Moreover, the blender itself is not dishwasher-safe, so you'll have to wash it by hand, which could be a bit of a hassle.
