Best Stick Blenders / Mixers

Fantastic blender. Easy to use and clean. Storage rack keeps all together. Show details

Had better – Worked well for a while but is very temperamental. Have nearly chucked in the bin a couple of times. Doesn’t chop well and leaves a lot stuck to bottom . Show details

Unbelievable! – My Bamix just died. I've had it for 37 years! Never a glitch. It is expensive, no doubt, but 37 years!!! Model was M122, made in Switzerland. A bit… Read more

heavy but you can "feel" the quality. FYI it died because I was blending a very thick paste (soaked grains) for too long.

Early days but I am not impressed that the instructions on NOT to put the chopper lid in the dishwasher were not clear on the product - most products… Read more

these days can go in a dishwasher. Now my brand new top has water inside that cannot escape. Nearly $100 to replace is outrageous given the total unit and accessories price point.

Top notch crafstmanship, immensely powerful, and has replaced three other big appliances – What led me to this point is starting to make my own hummus. I had one of those processor/blender combos with the single motor for both, and both of… Read more

them produced very sub-par results. Then I tried a low-end stick blender that I'd had passed on to me during someone's house clean out. Results much better, but still not quite the power I needed - chickpeas are dense even when cooked and need loads of power to puree through them cleanly.

Then the penny drooped that what I have occupying precious cupboard space are a useless old and small multipro and low-end stick blender, none of which really had any power in them

The penny then dropped that instead of all those space wasters, I can have one powerful appliance that can do all of of their jobs and then some I'd never even thought of.

Took one look at the Gastro series of Bamix and the biggest dilemma was which one: the 200, or 350.

I got the 350 even though I was at first a bit apprehensive about how enormous it looks, but it's been a delight to use, and very manoeuvrable.

The power in it is nothing short of astonishing. I had frozen about a kilo of overripe bananas and it managed to chow its way through them to make a banana & coconut milk icecream.

It takes seconds to complete pureeing, emulsifying, crushing, blending, chopping, you name it it does it.

One very happy home cook here with loads of deliciously creamy hummus here.

After previously reporting how this unit was an off the shelf display unit from my local The Good Guys store and discovering when I got home and… Read more

downloaded the owner manual, that five accessory pieces were missing, today I used this unit to make pumpkin soup. When I used the puree attachment, the rotating plastic blade promptly fell off. It seemed to lock in place but as soon as I raised the blade, it just fell into the soup. I think that there may be something missing, as when I first bought it home, I heard something drop onto the floor and to date I haven't been able to find it. It is not listed as being a separate part and so I think that it was just a poorly made part. So off to The Good Guys store at Booval tomorrow to see if I can get it replaced. I'll probably ask about the missing parts as well. They may just say that as it was a display unit and I was given a good price, that I should just go away, like other reviewers have had happen to them in regard to The Good Guys.

Worked really well until today. My blender had very little use since I purchased it about 2 years ago, and today it suddenly stopped. Very… Read more

disappointed, and now I have to go to the effort of trying to find out where I bought it. Not good enough for a supposed premium product.

2nd use base cracked and now is very difficult to clean. Contacted customer support who quoted me almost the cost of a new machine to replace. Not a… Read more

warrantee item apparently, WOuld never deal with the company again based on their follow up support

Fails basic soft kitchen use within 6 uses – Used this appliance 6 times over 18 months just to blend pumpkin soup. No heavy work. Short burst use. On occasion 6 burning smell and ceased working… Read more

It is a junk product not if merchantable quality. I don't recommend you waste money on sunbeam mixers given my experience with this one.

Horrible Kenwood Blender – Blade just snapped off just after warranty ran out. Never blended well, hard to use and poor quality. Could not blend in one go would have rest it… Read more

after a minute to 30 seconds. Had a Barmix before this and it lasted for years and was fantastic. Do not waste money on this. Will not buy another Kenwood hand blender.

Broke after 5 weeks – The item worked ok for 5 weeks, but a plastic part broke and now is very loud to operate. Cleaning is also not very easy. Braun disappoints with this junk. Show details

Bamix red Swissline 200W 76092plus. Replacement for 30 year old Bamix. All good so far. Not sure about the soft touch press button. I liked the old… Read more

fashioned wheel select speed. Nothing in quick use guide about soft button use, maybe in downloadable manual? This download manual also has how to oil Bamix instructions included.

Please re-open city store for purchase/support, I would have liked to have seen product in store.

All works well, except chopper – Good size for one person. Whisk was quite good, though a little wobbly, blender good for soups etc. easy to wash, clean and store. However the chopper handle broke on first use. Show details

Very poor quality and backup – After 15 years of faithful service from a Braun stick blender that cost under $100 dollars I thought i would lash out and purchase what was… Read more

supposedly the best available......Bamix.

The unit broke the mini blender attachment after only a few months and we figured we didn't use it that often and as such wasn't worth fixing.

Now the blender is 2.5 years old and smoke started pouring out of it making a smoothie. I rang Bamix and was told to take it to a service centre where they advised me it would be $35 dollars to look at it and then depending on the problem possibly a further cost to repair it.

So I rang Bamix back and they told me they would pass on the issue to which I received a call from the CEO advising me that if I didn't pay the $35 there was nothing they could do!!!

This appliance barely gets used in our house and now it will be going in the bin!!!!!

Not fit for purpose!

Do not buy – No stars. Bought today. Parts don’t ‘click’ into the hand held motor or you need super human strength to push the parts in. Show details

Best Stick Blender I have owned – I have had my Bamix 140w stick blender for 10 years and it's still going strong. I also have the accessories including all 4 blades and the wet dry… Read more

processor. I use it often for chopping, whipping, emulsifying. The blender is so versatile. I highly recommend Bamix.

This mixer would not even mix or blend an already pureed mix.Did put a hole in a thick plastic bowl I had had for 25 years and still couldn't mix the batter. InTheBin Show details

It works if you don't use any actual torque in the prep. I made peanut butter from peanuts with the food processor attachment until the motor smoked… Read more

a little. When I pureed chickpeas, it made some black smoke and the motor died. I've had other stick blenders that made hummus with no issues in the past. The attachments and dial to increase/decrease the speed make it seem like this stick blender is a bargain, but it has a weak motor.

I love this mixer. It has a powerful 1000 watt motor, enough to blend anything, especially cake mixes, doughs and nuts. The machine is easy to… Read more

clean and the blades come off easily for cleaning, and, WATCH THE BLADES when washing too, THEY ARE SHARP!

I got this at Myer whilst on sale for $139, a Godsend considering what you are getting.

I love the accessories too, especially the lil' whisk and two blade sizes. Comes with a blending wand, metal puree and masher, metal whisk, 0.5L chopper, and an easy pour beaker! All dishwasher safe.

I highly recommend this product, especially for its pricetag.

Pro - excellent blender; Cons - short life and difficult to clean – On one hand, this is one of the most effective stick blenders I have used. I use it 1-2 x daily to make smoothies. However it rarely lasts a year (I… Read more

have had 4 in the past 4 years). Twice the bottom half stopped working, a squealing noise is the warning sound it's on it's way out (I even defrost the frozen fruit to prolong the life of the blender).

Twice the top half has been a problem; once the rubber cover over one of the buttons broke plus the product started squealing and I knew it was on its way out (because I kept the receipt this time it was replaced for free). On my current one only the bottom button works, the top button stopped working in less than six months. As I have moved it is not convenient to exchange it this time. So when this one dies I am not buying another one.

The other issue is that it gets food residue on the inside of the bottom half where the blade rotates. It is extremely difficult to clean even with hot soapy water, soaked and well shaken, the barrel is too narrow to get a cleaning brush in to it. I persisted with this product because it works so well but there are a lot of draw backs.

So disappointed with this blender – This item started off well and I was pleased with the power of the motor. After 30 months I had only used it about a dozen times but when I was… Read more

using it, one of the push button switches flew out and the item was now useless. I realise it was out of warranty but this was not an issue of reasonable wear and tear but a manufacturing defect. I was so disappointed as it was such a good blender when it worked.

I bought a mixer ( Ambino 4 -4-Blade Stick Mixer)and after 8 months, it stopped working. I called the warranty service. They didn't give me a correct… Read more

answer based on the specifications on the label. It seems that this company is not loyal to its brand, or maybe it has sold enough of this machine and made a profit. In any case, I don't recommend this.

This stick blender should be taken off the market. Not even 12 months old, used less than six times and already bits are breaking off with the power end of the stick not attaching to the attachments Show details

This product is okay and not expensive – This hand stick blender is really good for me. It is handy and not expensive. It is very convenient to use it. I have a big blender but not use oftenly because can't be blend small amount. I bought it $29 after special discount from eBay. Show details

Works well but it's not made to be cleaned properly. Is disgusting having to mix the food with a tool that has food scraps from previous… Read more

preparations. I spend soo much time cleaning it. The instructions included are not even made for that specific model. What a waste.

I purchased the KitchenAid Cordless Handheld Stick Mixer and found it severely lacking in power from day one. Battery life is also terrible. The… Read more

variable speed functionality is horrible and makes for a very frustrating user experience. To make matters worse, the whisking attachment broke within a year while whipping cream. I expected much better quality and durability from KitchenAid - I only bought it because I thought it was a brand I could trust. Sadly, no longer. Strongly recommend you do not buy.
