Juiceman Stick Blender Product Review by ChristineMM

Juiceman HBOOOO1S Stainless Steel Blender and Accessories


What drew me to try this hand blender was the high watt, 550 watts to be specific. Some stick blenders are weak and have little power. I was also interested in its metal construction which is a sign of high quality construction. It is NOT flimsy plastic.

I rate this product 5 stars = I Love It because it suits my purposes very well. I use a stick blender for blending soups and sauces to a puree. I often cook in bulk so put the blender inside the pot or large bowl. I would not use that small bowl as it doesn't serve my needs.

Besides multiple speeds of blending it has a power boost button.

This device also serves to whip things liquids such as turning cream into whipped cream. You need to use the cup that it comes with and the whisk attachment. I tried using the whisk in place of a hand whisk for blending milk, cocoa powder and corn starch in a bowl and that was a disaster. I made an error in judgement with that, not realizing the high power of the blender gives such a fast whisking speed that it really can only be used with the cup that is provided. I take responsibility for my mistake.

There is a bowl that comes with a food processing blade (one blade type is provided). This would allow anything to be pureed in the bowl, such as a sauce or soup. Also, raw vegetables or nuts could be put into the bowl and processed to chop or puree. I almost was going to say this could replace a typical food processor (I use a Cuisinart which is much more expensive than this device) however it really can't. A regular food processor is more versatile. This has no opening in the top to drizzle in liquid such as when I made homemade salad dressing or homemade skin lotion, both require combining liquids with oils by drizzling to make an emulsion. With this, you must put the food in the bowl then put the lid on then do the processing and that's it. It isn't meant to add in more ingredients as it is being blended. Also, there are other options that a typical food processor can do such as slice vegetables or fruits or other actions with different blades. This has one blade.

I still rate this 5 stars = I Love It as it is a high powered stick blender with sturdy metal construction for a low price compared to some other models currently available. I recommend that you keep an eye on both the price and the motor's power when shopping for a stick blender and also note if the construction is plastic or metal. Stick blenders can run the gamut, so be careful to find one that suits your needs and has a right price for you.
