Hand blenders come in handy more often than you think. Make a sauce out of cooked onions and tomatoes, whip up some cream to top off your irish coffee, or puree fruit to serve over your ice cream sundae: there are countless ways to utilize one Read More
SamuellogyNo. This is the U.S model, 110V/60Hz
And even if you use a step-down transformer, it won't change the frequency from 60Hz to 50Hz.
It will work, but due to the way motors operate, you'd lose about 20% of the output power (motor rotation speed, RPM) and the unit will generate more heat instead, possibly overheating quicker.
Not recommended imo.
I bought this at the end of last summer and, while I haven’t used it excessively, it has been pretty amazing. If you don’t already have a food processor it’s perfect as it’s easy to clean and light plus storing the wand is pretty simple vs a giant machine and base. The small blender head is also perfect for whipping up home made mayo. I can’t say I’ve used it for soups yet but I’ll be trying that next. All in all I’m pretty happy with it
You get what you pay for with stick blenders -- they're awesome but the cheaper ones are a hassle. This one looks very inexpensive, and I've never heard of Kenwood making things like this before - and I've been buying kitchen gadgets for decades.
If you already have a food processor I'd just go ahead and buy a basic model without all the foofraw on it, because in my experience the food processor attachments on stick blenders are a much bigger pain in the ass than a regular food processor. I got one with all these attachments and I never use them. Just the blending stick. The rest of it sits in a cabinet.
For all the people asking about Euro plugs, you might wanna go with a Braun. They make their best models for European voltage and I find them to be very well made. I have a Japanese made model which I can use in US outlets without an adapter, but I had to hunt like hell to find it, because everything I was finding was made for higher voltage. Those models are very well rated though and they can often be found on the Zon.
As for what you can use it on? I've used mine for making everything from a pureed soup to pudding and milkshakes. There's a slight learning curve to using these -- you will make a couple messes getting used to the proper depth and motions to use when you're blending up something, and by 'messes' I'm talking splatter. Hold the blender too close to the surface of what you're blending for too long and depending on the consistency you might actually get some splatter on the kitchen ceiling. You might wanna have soapy water handy. The good news is, it's not hard to do correctly once you get used to it.
I’m ready to get this hand blender but wanted to see if there’s any suggestions. This would be my first one. I usually want to get a great value item (not necessarily cheapest). I’m just a home cook and want to get this to start making some sauces, etc. Thanks!
This just arrived, wow the box is huge. This thing is a monster for sure. I've been gunning for the Breville but at almost double the price, this is a steal. My only issue is I know someone who is a head chef at a 7 diamond resort, all he ever says is that hand mixers are super useful but they all end up dying.
The food processor is pretty basic, but I have the Breville sous chef processor so I'm pretty biased. Seems like a great deal for the price though.
