Blenders

Advantages: user friendly, compact, and cuts down on dirty dishes.
Disadvantages: none

This little machine is FANTASTIC! It is very user friendly and does a fabulous job at blending, mixing, and chopping. Unlike a blender where the blade is located at the bottom, these blades scew onto a cup, which you turn upside down, which makes it much easier to use. Ours came with six cups, several different lids, cup rings so you can drink directly from the cup after blending a shaker top so if you did some cheese or cinnamon or something like ...
...those that are limited on counter space, and in a very classy stainless steel base. Also, I like the fact that you don't have to dirty up several items that will need to be cleaned, because you can blend and drink from the same cup, which cuts down on the dirty dishes. I really can't say enough about this product. It is worth the buy! ... Read review

Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

I own this Braun hand blender. The only problem is, when I was packing my stuff in California to move to Colorado, I somehow left everything behind except the blender itself with the blender attachment only. I will be buying a complete new one because I absolutely LOVE this handy little tool. Braun is an excellent brand. The price is great for the quality you get. I've owned it for about two years. It is small and sleek and very easily stored. ...
...great for garlic and onions. Mushrooms, Olives. I made fresh bread crumbs with it. Almonds and walnuts for baking. I also like the chopper for fresh salsa. It's quick and easy. Now, for the blending attachment. I can name so many things I use this for. My favorite thing is to take out lumps in gravy. It's great for milkshakes. Cream of brocolli soup from scratch ... The BEST! Salad dressing with fresh ingredients by far, better than store bought. ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful motor and solid blades, Glass jar
Disadvantages: Noisy

This is a fantastic blender. I have had it for 2 years now, and have had no problems with it (unlike the previous blender I bought, which was a cheaper brand, and who's motor started to whine and strain after only a few months of use). This blender has 12 different settings, such as whip, grind, and puree. It can handle just about anything, including things such as ice and frozen fruit for my smoothies which I love to make. It has a specific ice ...
...and a powerful motor, it makes perfect smoothies every time. I also don't have to worry about straining the motor as this is a blender that will likely last me a long time. The blender is easy to use. It has markings on the side to make recipes. It also has a removable center on the lid so you can add more ingredients while the blender is going without food splashing everything. The blender is very easy to clean. I recommend washing it right after ... Read review
