Russell Hobbs Stick Mixer

Christmas gift used chopping bowl once and blade wouldn't locate properly and chewed itself up, on inspection I'm fairly sure that the blade supplied not suited to the bowl supplied but if it's the right blade then I am gobsmacked at the obvious design flaw.

After having it less than a year it makes a horrid screeching sound every time I use the blender stick attachment. The plastic on the food processor attachment cracked and water gets trapped in the lid part. Sure, it works but not without a lot of noise and disappointment. Russell Hobbs brand continues to disappoint with their Microwave Convection Oven. Can't do any of the featured operations very well. Kmart brand appliances work better!

Have brought this product twice now, first from Big W then got a refund and brought the second from Riley’s Better Electrical. Big W’s lasted a day, broke and started smoking after beating steamed carrot. Riley’s lasted 2 weeks and did the exact same thing but with whipped cream. Do Not Recommend!!

The seal on the stick directly below the blade is useless - it allows food, water etc to get under it and cannot be removed. Therefore totally unhygienic no matter how well you try to wash it.

Purchased brand new, used it twice then....
Stopped spinning processing blade and the blade in stick
Stick blender kept falling off
God awful noise
Very hot and smelt of smoke
Absolutely useless
Purchased from big W

Spinning blade attachment keeps coming loose, only used half a dozen times in tomato sauce. This was a xmas gift so don't have a receipt to try and get a refund.

Bought this using some gift vouchers, wish I'd put them to better use.

Really struggled to get the chopper to connect to the blender and then it wouldn't chop much without plenty of liquid, unless it was onions, but couldn't even chop those very small.

As most people have mentioned, the whisk is basically useless unless you're whisking something really runny otherwise it just unscrews itself.

The stick blender worked much better, but a couple of times it sucked the metal stick out the plastic. The biggest disappointment was having only used it 10 or 15 times over the last year and a half (so out of guarantee) the plastic part where the shafts all fit into and make them spin has just disintegrated, so now totally useless.

the nylon piece that goes over the spindle of the blending stick broke off and now just comes apart... not a good handy machine at all very poorly designed.it hasn't had much use and I have replaced it.

I had trouble putting it together, and managed the first time, but broke the rubber seal the second time. So it won’t work now. I only had two uses out of it. I am very disappointed.

Picked up the Russell Hobbs on display the entire thing fell apart as I tested it for comfort. Auto response was to catch falling part. Resulting in slicing my finger

RHSM700 Used twice and the plastic deteriorated and the machine was broken and unusable. A waste of money... lessoned learned about the quality of stick mixes but a significant blow to the Russell Hobbs branding...

After just 2 uses, the stainless steel blade part came apart from the black plastic part which screws into the main electrical part. I can still use it but i have to hold it quite still while using it.

Purchased 6 weeks ago, on two occasions the blending shaft came out of the connector sleeve whilst blending hot soup spraying the contents on myself and surrounds Returned the unit to the store

I have had non stop issues when using the whisk feature and giving it the benefit of the doubt thought maybe it's just me! Nope the design of it is strange. The whisk goes one in the opposite direction that the lock connection goes so when your mixing cake mixes, banana bread mixes the whisk comes off mid mix. Absolutely annoying! Will definitely be returning asap!

Silicon phalange and metal seal loose under blades so food get into shaft of stick blender difficult to wash and unhygienic. Becomes loose on first use so product faulty to begin or poor seal design
