Immersion Hand Blender, 300W Electric Handheld Stick Mixer with 2 Mixing Speeds and Stainless Steel Blades for Smoothies, Purees & Baby Food, Red HS560R

We've had this for a while, and use it mostly for breakfast smoothies. I chose it for the higher wattage and the slimmer profile to save drawer space. Works well, feels solid, easy to clean. Blade seems sharper than the one on the Braun this replaced. The drive-to-handle connection is plastic, but substantial; I think it will hold up better than smaller metal-to-plastic interfaces that have a tendency to strip and vibrate to failure. The 'latch' between the two sections is adequate but seems a bit flimsy; I'll wager it's the weak link in the design that will eventually lead to replacement, but I don't think that's imminent.

This immersion hand blender works great! It’s powerful, easy to use, and blends smoothies and soups quickly and smoothly. The stainless steel blades are sharp and durable, and the two speed options are very convenient. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and a perfect addition to any kitchen.

When I ordered the "Ovente Electric Immersion Hand Blender," it was mainly due to an excess of tomatoes in my home. I thought making homemade tomato soup would be the best solution. I had never used an immersion blender before, so I was learning as I went along, as you can see in the attached video. My main goal was to turn the tomatoes, well seasoned in dry spicy ranch seasoning and sitting in their own juices for nearly 48 hours, into a smooth velvety soup. To my surprise, the blender did its job, although it required more effort than I expected. I had hoped that the softened tomatoes would easily blend, considering they had been covered in a seasoning that is salt based, but it seemed the blender struggled more than I had imagined it would. Despite this, I was pleasantly surprised with the smoothness of the final product. The immersion blender did transform the tomatoes into a lovely soup, but the process made me question its ability to handle tougher vegetables like carrots. You could easily crush a tomato with your hands into soup with minimal effort. This blender made it seem like I was giving it too much of a workload initially. While the price point of the blender is very reasonable, I found several faults with it. These are the reasons I can't give it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The first was its inability to stand upright. This product's design causes it to tilt at an angle when standing, which could potentially pose a safety risk, especially considering it houses a sharp, high-speed blade. There is nothing stopping it from turning on even when the product is facing upwards. I feel like that's an oversight in the product design considering that a tilt sensor could have been used to always make sure it's always facing down before being turned on. Another significant issue was the heat generated by the blender. After only 5 minutes of blending the tomatoes, the plastic shell of the blender reached 135F, and even after unplugging and waiting for 10 minutes, it was still at 124F. This heat could potentially cause burns if not handled carefully, and it also makes me question the longevity of the product, considering the strain that such high heat could put on a small motor. I also noticed that the tomato skins tended to get stuck in the blender's sides. If the holes in the sides are meant for the puree/liquid/soup to flow through, these holes getting clogged with could be counterproductive and pose a safety risk if you are meant to clear them manually. Despite these flaws, I do believe the "Ovente Electric Immersion Hand Blender" offers good value for its price point. Its performance, considering the cost, was satisfactory, and while I do not expect it to last for years, I think it would pay for itself even with a few uses. However, it's important to note the potential safety risks due to the high heat it generates and the inability to stand upright on its own. So, would I recommend this blender? Yes, but with reservations. If you are careful, mindful of the safety risks, and don't expect a long-lasting product, this blender could be a useful addition to your kitchen.

I purchased this unit as a replacement for a much more expensive model that is packed away and inaccessible since I moved several years ago. I never used the original unit much. I believe it is a Cuisinart. But I found I had a need for an immersion blender in my cooking now, so I looked for something that I thought would do the job and not break the bank. This was my choice. Boy am I pleased with this blender. I have started using imported Italian San Marzano Canned peeled tomatoes in lieu of buying jarred marrinara. The canned San Marzano Italian whole peeled tomatoes offer better flavor and it is cheaper than paying for expensive sauces that do not use quality tomatoes. I would rather buy good imported genuine Italian San Marzano tomatoes and make my own marinara sauces for far less money and not all of the additives. I can control what is in my sauce. Enter this little blender. I use it to puree the tomatoes right in the can. No need to pull out my blender or food processor. This stores easily in a drawer and takes up little room. It does a perfect job on the tomatoes. I have used it for creamed soups as well. Again a great job. I love that it has two speeds. At 300 watts it seems to have more than sufficient power. I only have to hand wash the blade and put it away. At the price this blender does everything the more expensive Cuisinart model did. But given that the Cuisinart is packed somewhere back about 12 boxes deep in my garage, I am ever grateful for this blender at such an amazing price. I have used it many times now and it always works great and cleans up in a breeze. My kitchen appliances are all red Kitchenaid so this matches them as well!

Love this kitchen tool. Works great, super easy to use, high quality material. Has two speeds which is awesome. Would purchase again!!

This is easy to use, easy to clean and very handy. There are two speeds to handle many applications, mixing to puree. Great price and built well.

It works ok,made mayo but be careful of the size jar you use.I used a pint jar 16oz and had a hard time getting the large cone of this out and leaving the mayo in.My fault for not thinking of that although thats the amount I wanted.The cone is a lot larger then what it looks like in picture.This thing is heavy and you have to keep the button depressed or will shut off and that makes it unwieldy.I aam older and this makes it hard for me to use.

excelente producto, me costó bien barata, es muy bonita estéticamente, no se ve de materiales de bajo costo, tengo varios meses ya con ella y basicamente muelo todo con ella, y tiene buena potencia y no se calienta, obvio no le doy mucho tiempo de uso porque es normal que se puedan quemar este tipo de productos, pero la verdad es que no he tenido problemas con ella, es muy facil de limpiar tambien, y todavía parece nueva a pesar del uso que le doy.

Bought this for soap making only. It has lasted for a few years without mishap. It isn't used very much while soap making so I couldn't say how it would stand the test of time for food processing. The stainless steel wand is quite thin in comparison to the one I use for food processing.

El precio está excelente, también su apariencia. Está padre! Tiene menos poder de varios otros marcas/modelos (300w), pero no es notable. Es más que suficiente. Funciona bastante bien -- y ni tira el licuado a todos los lados. La he usado para hacer licuados de plátanos y leche, y también una malteada. Hay dos velocidades, y todavía ni he tenido ocasión a poner en nivel 2. Es muy fácil a usar y limpiar. ***Tengo una licuadora grande y poderosa (1350w), pero es demasiado para usar (y limpiar) solamente para un licuado o malteado. Me di cuenta que estoy usando mi Ovente HS560R Multi-Purpose Immersion Blender casi todo el tiempo, y raras veces uso mi gran licuadora.

Great product, mixes well, easy to clean, does its job perfect!!!

Super buena calidad
