not only not as great as you expect, even difficult to use
Well, it doesn’t do what I expect from it. And don’t say what it supposed to, because I don’t it supposed to . It does what you planned for it of course.Honestly, I would be very happy only if the food processor would work like a cheap fully Kenwood for me! Put what I wanna chip and mix in there and then get a consistent mixture. From vegetables and some fresh herbs to a mixture of dates and nuts, it doesn’t mix well. There is always something wrong. The machine is dependent so much in a specific amount and consistency of food in it or else it... Read more doesn’t work. Simply doesn’t mix. It spins but doesn’t mix or cut anything. Opening it is always with two movements instead of one. If you didn’t have to open it 50 times for a simple falafel mixture, fine, but I literally have to open it and hand mix it 50 times. Or about nut’s paste , only the small container works with nuts. which is really small. I used to mix my walnuts with an awfully cheap blender into a smooth paste in ONE go!!!!! But here I have to not only make my mixture in 10 parts, but also shake the machine in awkward ways to make everything mixed well. The reason is that the blade is flat which should have been slightly tilted . The basic mixer works ok with the soup. Although, the cheapest mixers out there might work better. Because they create a tornado. Its not much about power when it comes to overcooked vegetables. It’s like you’ve put so much effort on the power of the machine which is without a doubt very high, but not enough on the design!!! I mean honestly, I love the machine because of the high school quality, but I truly and sadly hate it too.
Bamix handheld mixer update
I would like to update my recent review about a problem I have encountered over the years with our Bamix handheld blenders,that being a problem with the two speed buttons on the mixer reverting to one speed mind you after many years but still.I'm told not a common problem.Bamix politely reached out to me and renewed my faith in the product by replacing our current unit,its nice to know that companies are interested in reading reviews such as mine and showing enough interest in achieving a great result thankyou Bamix and all staff concerned.

Too unsafe, keep fingers away
I've had Bamix stick blender for almost 15 years. Quite happy with it's functionality.But...
I've always been scared to change its sharp blades. Recently I've ended up in Hand clinic for surgery.
I was making a puree soup, a blade fell off into the jar, I digged it out and put back, but I didn't plug the blender out. In an eyeblink I got a bad deep thumb cut!
I realize that it's my fault. But for safety, there shouldn't be an option to put the blades on and off. Show details
what has happened Bamix! Your wet dry mill argh
I own a original at least it seems that way Bamix blender my mother had when I was young (I'm 60) the fittings have become loose and even though it still works WOW what a machine its been, I felt it time to upgrade. I purchased Bamix Deluxe Stick Blender White 180w last year 2022 with a wet dry mill.. I am so disappointed in it. I was grinding dried vegetables and lemon peel in the cheap quality mill that came in the package. It has scratched and stained, I know longer use it because I am worried plastic is going into the food. It is very... Read more rough inside now. I can not imagine how it would have gone if I had used it to grind coffee beans as I always did in the original grinder which I still have but it seems that the dimensions have altered in the stick over the decades lol and the new one does not fit properly into the old wonderful durable grinder. The actual blender hold area gets hot something I have never experienced with my old one. It is not as powerful it seems. The quality of the actual blade inside the grinder, and those on the blender are also not so wonderful. I doubt my granddaughter will be using it in five years let alone in 55! Sigh sadly I am regretting purchasing this! Once it was an item I used daily and loved it..now its a hit or miss and well I am just so disappointed its like loosing a very dear friend. I have had an Australian representative of Bamix contact me not long after this was plac and he kindly replaced the above mill with the more traditional ones that are much more heavy duty. I am delighted with the response from Bamix Australia was very good. My understanding is this was a package deal done for Australia maybe just for Minimax shops. Not sure if this is Australia wide business but is in Tasmania.- +1
Bamix Gastro g2 broken within 2 jears
The Bamix Gastro G2 was broken within 2 years. Food came inside the machine through the rubber o-ring. Had to pay for the repair. You can't get replacement parts to fix it yourself. Bad design. Never buy it again. Show detailsWe are sorry to hear you had an issue with your Bamix Gastro and would have liked to have assisted in resolving this for you.

I use blenders all the time to make soups and mayonnaise chiefly.I have had braun blenders and philips, which usually last about 4 or 5 years - and when the last one packed up I thought I would buy a bamix, expecting that it would last much longer. 2 years on it has just stopped working - and I was already disappointed with its performance, which I would say was worse than my previous ones which cost about 1/4 the price.
Avoid! Show details
Overrated - at least the recent models are
My sister bought her Bamix approximately 30 years ago, and during that time has used it constantly for many different culinary applications without any problems. Based on her experience, I bought mine 12 months ago, thinking, after an Electrolux blender which failed after 7 years and prior to that, a Sunbeam which worked okay until I dropped it and bent the 'stick' - that the Bamix would be worth the significantly extra cost for longevity, performance and reliability. Wow! Am I disappointed! Although my machine hasn't failed, it sure doesn't... Read more perform to expectations, especially when for example, blitzing soup or pesto. Any ingredient (ie, watercress) which is remotely stringy wraps around the blade and is extraordinarily difficult to remove - neither of my other blenders had this issue. I googled correct method of use, and the problem isn't the way I'm holding or positioning the stick, or trying to blend too large a quantity at once. The attachments are also difficult to remove; one time I actually thought I may have to use a screwdriver blade (soaking in warm water solved the problem however). Maybe like so many things these days, Bamix products ain't made like they used to be, and this is reflected in their performance. Such a shame. A koala expects better from a premier product at a premier price.Bamix is the best stick Blender
I bought a Bamix 33 years ago, in fact in December, 1985! It is still working perfectly, the only problem I have now is that I cannot change the attachment. So I am thinking of buying a replacement. Bamix of course. I recommended it to my friends and they are all happy with it. Show detailsLong life
I bought a Bamix blender 30 years ago and it has only just stopped working. It stopped because I dropped into a sink full of water.I would recommend to anyone as they are strong, reliable and easy to use.

Its a really good stickblender
I bought this stick blender to replace a cheaper one . I am forever replacing cheap stick blenders that only just live their warranty and thats all. I decided i want one for keeps this time. Bamix has a ling warranty and have been around for years so i trust it. It feels better quality the instant you use it. The motor sounds like it runs smoothly compared to my old cheapie which sounded rough and tinny.Mine came in a set called Baking Box and for a good price so i got a whole heap of attachments with it. I use a full size processor so the m... Read more
ini one with the Bamix likely wont get much use. The grater attachment diesnt really do cheddar cheese real well but fir small amounts is ok. I have ground nuts and coffee beans so the mill is good for that. Its convenient enough to take camping ( powered camp site obviously) if you are that way inclined. I have used it for dough kneading which i thought was a bit meh.. but as a straight up stick blender its fine. If pureed soup, mashed potato etc all the usual stickblender stuff and its perfect. I have tried eggwhites and that makes the job very easy, ive used it in my morning smoothies and is also good. I have made mayo with the whisk and this is very convenient. Overall im perfectly satisfied with it as a stick blender, as a mini food processor it is ok, as a mill it is also A-ok. Most certainly better than the cheap blenders i had previously used.So disappointing wish I had bought a Braun
Having had 2 Braun stick mixers in my life I thought it time to splurge- wish I hadn't- I much prefer my two old Braun's (the last one lasting around 8 years before a tiny plastic cog broke when I was trying to crush ice with juice for a smoothy!-yes I know it is not designed for it).We make a lot of Indian/Asian dishes that often require pastes- (garlic/onion/ginger) so having done what I thought was enough research purchased the swissline with the "dry mill" yes I know I was hoping it did the job of our fantastic Braun mill but it does not...

. The Bamix mill thing is useless- too small, can only mix dry ingredients and so far still has not doe a good job. Really only good for making a tiny amount of breadcrumbs. I suppose this is because Bamix want you to purchase the mini magimix (I think the companies are related) which is more money and another thing to clutter the kitchen. Our Braun did it all. Buy a Braun- it probably won't last as long but at least it does all the jobs and there is no messing with the fiddly "parts" on the Bamix.Couldn't live without it!!
I have a 2012 model (not too sure which one) of this stick blender and I don't understand the negative reviews. Mine can make almonds, wheat, rice, into a very fine flour in about a minute. It's quite amazing. Soup, almonds for almond milk, smoothies, all very quick and easy. I came from a cheaper unknown brand stick blender with a blade so sharp it would cut me when I washed it, and I really liked it. It really struggled with ice though. I was given this as a present. Switching over I thought the Bamix one was no good at first with the blunt m... Read moreixer but you just need to trial and error how to use it correctly with pulsing, using high and low settings, with the correct attachments. The blunt curved attachment is surprisingly capable, with such fast RPM it blends without a blade. It pulverises ice in about 30 seconds once you have your own technique down. I grind flaxseeds weekly using the small round grinding bowl attachment and I really have to be careful not to turn them into dust, it is that powerful!So disappointing!!!!
Always fancied a Bamix given all the hype around how it can do this and that and will last a lifetime being such great quality etc so got one from Lakeland and found it was a total disappointment blending soup leaving unblended bits in it. Maybe if I had persisted and spent 30 minutes I would have got the consistency I required but hey ho there are more interesting things to do in life. Took it back and got a refund from good old Lakeland. Gone back to my old Chef Tony stick blender which whizzes through the soup blending it to a smooth consistency in seconds.Don't understand how Bamix have got so stuck in the past.
Don't Fool Yourself With All The Good Reviews
I bought it because of the amount of positive reviews and I had to write something here because it is so disappointing, the Bamix blender is totally useless. I had one from tesco before for 10 pounds and it worked much better. The Bamix have everything you don't need, it is not practical (the end doesn't separate so you have difficulty to wash it) it doesn't blend properly, last time it took me almost 30 minutes to make a houmous from cheackpeas. I have now a Braun and it is another world. So Bamix, I don't know if they write the review themselves but never more!Okay
I don't think it is worth the money, I have only had it a short time and already need to spend more money on a spare part. They are so small that I must have thrown it in the bin with peelings. Also the blades in the blender seem to require a fare bit if volume before it begins grinding to a decent consistency and nevr reaches the consistency I require with spices and coffee beans etc.Oct 2015 and need another part...

Questions & Answers
Is there a difference in the 200w Chill n grill bamix, the 200w bamix in the big box set, and the 200w bamix in the cake box set? ie. in stick length, stick metal composition and coating, cord length?
Is the stick chrome plated on the 200w Bamix same as on the professional 350w gastro Bamix?
I need help choosing the benchtop stand. Is it better to get the wide stand ( that leans backwards and holds the grinder on the back); or get the narrow upright stand which takes less space?
Also, l really wanted the Bamix bake box, but it’s not sold here. Can anyone tell me if the cake recipe book is good, worth waiting for, or are the recipes inside the same as those on the website? Can a Bamix rep. tell me if/when it will be sold again? I hoped for mother’s day.
