OVENTE Immersion Hand Blender, 300W Electric Handheld Portable Stick Mixer with 2 Mixing Speed and Stainless Steel Blades for Effortless Blending Smoothies, Shakes, Puree or Baby Food, Black HS560B

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!

I kept on pining for my vintage Braun immersion blender that was so old it didn’t have safety prongs for the plug in. It was lost in a move and I complained about it for seven years, and tried to buy a replacement that failed. It was fancy branded, expensive, heavy, awkward and bulky to use.I finally decided to take the plunge and try another immersion blender. For my purposes (puréed soup) it is hands down the BEST immersion blender I’ve ever used. It knocked the Braun off the shelf. I made a potato soup base (potatoes and onion simmered in stock and water) with added milk, crisp-tender broccoli, and grated cheese. As opposed to the awkward blender dance, I was able to purée the soup in the soup pot (took about 3 minutes for a quart and a half) and it was so smooth and creamy! the texture was unbelievable as well as the ease of use. Simple toggle switch for speed 1 or 2. Love the detachable base for storage, cleaning, safety. Love it, love the value, price, and effectiveness. A winner in the kitchen.

The OVENTE Electric Immersion Hand Blender is a fantastic addition to my kitchen. With 300 watts of power and two mixing speeds, it handles everything from smoothies to soups effortlessly. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and incredibly convenient for quick blending tasks. Cleanup is a breeze too! Highly recommend this versatile and reliable kitchen gadget.

The media could not be loaded. 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’m really pleased with this product! It arrived promptly and was in excellent condition. It’s just as described, and the quality is outstanding. It works perfectly and has made a real difference. I’m thrilled with my purchase and feel it’s worth every penny.I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for something dependable and high-quality. I’ll definitely buy again!

Works great! Even my. husband uses it! Works better than the Cuisinart stick blender I used to have. And I love that the "working" end comes off for cleaning!

This item is wonderful! It has two speeds, both are powerful! I'm going to purchase again for my soap making projects!♥️
