Continental Electric CE22841 Hand Blender, One Size, White

As long as I keep the motor running in short bursts only, alternating with mixing motion to continue the agitation, this works great for the purpose intended. I had a different brand I bought earlier, and when I ran that longer (mixing a 2-lb batch) I burned the motor right away (but then it had two buttons and was hard to hold). This was the second brand I tried and I kept in mind not to run longer than a few seconds at a time. So far I have made only 1-lb (oils) batches, and it has been doing a great job. The button is also easy to press and quite comfortable. I am getting a second unit as a back up just in case this one dies too.

If I could give this stick blender 0 stars I would. I bought this March 2017, have only used it 3 times since. I bought it to blend my oils for soap making, which I don't do often, and on the 3rd use the bottom part of the stick blender fell off and would not turn on! I was so annoyed. For it to fall apart in the middle of blending my oils is not a good feeling, I had no other blender so I had to throw away the batch. I took really good care of it, even stored it in its original box. Look elsewhere and don't waste your money.

This was the most reasonably priced blender I could find for my soaping hobby. It works great, and it is comfortable to hold.

The head doesn't come off, so cleaning is a little more of a chore.Otherwise, the guts of this are standard for most of these up through twice the price.It works well for smoothies and light work.I've chopped a little ice with it, but it gets hot pretty quickly.

This overheats easily--- directions say to run it in pulses no more than 1 minute with 10 minutes cooling off time in-between. Not acceptable for soap-making unless you make SMALL batches. Burned out after 3rd CAREFUL use, in spite of operating in short "pulses." Probably ok if you're just making milkshakes!

This is the third hand blender I have had in the last decade and it does a good job of pureeing (steamed veggies and soups). It is the FIRST one that is so messy though. I'm not sure why but it splatter's a lot. I have to make sure the head is always in the mixture I am blending. I have already ruined a sweatshirt by splattering hot soup on it. Good for the job at hand...just WEAR AN APRON!!!

Well, this product was really a disappointment. Only used it once and the motor burned out. Wouldn't waist my money on this one.

I have started making my own soap and needed a hand/stick blender. This was proooobably the cheapest blender with amazon prime & I LOVE it!! Been making soap for 3 weeks and it works perfectly!
