5 Best Immersion Blenders of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

This blender felt nice in the hand and was super easy to use. This unit clocked in with highest watts at 625, but was surprisingly quiet. When you first turn this blender on, at any power level, it starts slow and then gets to speed, which is really great for blending hot liquids and for control for more delicate preparations, like the mayonnaise. This model was the only one that had 4 blades, which made it slightly more challenging to clean, but it was worth the effort for the blending power. The housing for the blades was fairly shallow which helped facilitate the cleaning and prevented the suction issue that several other models had when blending. We found it very easy to change speeds while blending and this model easily operates with one hand, so you can be sure to be securing the vessels of whatever you are blending with the other hand. This unit has 5 speeds which gave it a nice level of control. This model was one of the heavier units but its rubberized top and contouring for the hand did not make it feel heavy when blending. This model came with no attachments but did come with an instruction booklet with some recipe ideas and smoothie ideas. The broccoli soup was very, very smooth after 1 minute 32 seconds and there was no splattering and no chunks remaining. The mayonnaise came together in a little more than 30 seconds. Accessories sold seperately for this hand blender include: a whisk, storage case, blending jar and mini-chopper.

This immersion blender had the lowest watts of those that listed watts at 220, but performed well at all tasks. It came with a manual with 12 pages of instructions and was very easy to operate. There are 2 speeds and you need both hands to adjust the speed while in use, but otherwise was easy to use with one hand. It has a rubberized and contoured handle so it was comfortable to hold and use. Its two thin blades are housed in a deep housing that made it slightly more difficult to clean by hand than other models, but all pieces other than the motor/handle are dishwasher safe. This model only came with a blending cup. It blended the soup in 1 minute and 45 seconds and didn’t take a lot of moving around to blend smoothly. There was no splatter or suction which made this feel very easy to use. Mayonnaise took about 45 seconds in the provided cup and was very easy to make. The blending shaft is a little difficult to use as it is a twist off, but once you get the hang of it, it comes off pretty easily.

This immersion blender was by far the prettiest of the bunch. Because it is cordless, it has a charger to sit on, but this would not be an eyesore on the counter if you have room for it. It held a charge well and blended the soup. This model has a lock function, so it needs both hands to start operating and the speed adjustment is also on top so you need both hands to change speed while using. The tradeoff for its sleek look is that it is not rubberized or contoured so feels slightly more awkward in the hands while blending. This made smooth soup with no lumps and no splatter in 1 minute and 43 seconds and whipped mayo in a minute and a half. This was very easy to clean but the two blades are sharper than most models so some care is needed. There was no watt information but its 12,000 rpms blended well and was one of the quietest models of those tested.

This only has one speed which makes it easier to use than other immersion blenders. It is cordless and the sharp blades make it feel like it does the same blending job as others with less power. Broccoli soup was blended and smooth in 1 minute 7 seconds with no splatter and no lumps. It took a little longer to make the mayo at just over 2 minutes, but was overall pretty easy. This has a lock button which is a great safety feature, but not one we found super intuitive. This particular lock button, however, is easy to use on this model and you can do it with one hand. The charging station had suction on the bottom to hold it in place, but we found that to be cumbersome in a small kitchen. This immersion blender came with a blending cup and a whisk attachment. The whisk made whipped cream easily and with less splatter than most others tested. The blending shaft is top rack dishwasher safe . There was no information on whether the cup or whisk was dishwasher safe. There was no rpm or watt information but it blended well and quietly. Because it only has one speed, mayonnaise was a little trickier, but not too hard.

This 15 speed immersion blender came with all of the bells and whistles: a blending cup, a mini chop and a whisk attachment. Its relatively low 280 watts didn’t hold this immersion blender back from completing all of the tasks well. The broccoli soup was smooth at 1 minute 7 seconds, although there was some minor splattering. It operates quietly and feels comfortable in the hand. For having so many parts, it is pretty intuitive to use right out of the box. It claims to have an ergonomic design and it did feel comfortable in the hand, although it does require two hands to adjust the speed. The whisk function also performed well and made whipped cream in 1 minute 17 seconds with minimal splatter even at the highest speed. In addition to a manual, it came with a food preparation guide which is handy to have. If storage is not an issue or you are looking for one device to do many simple tasks, then this is a great machine. With the most number of speeds it also felt like it had the most ability to control for a variety of tasks. All parts but the main motor shaft are dishwasher safe and the blending stick blade housing is shallow so it even felt easy to hand wash.
