Americana EHB-1000BL Electric Immersion Hand Blender, Mixer, Chopper, 1-Touch Soups, Sauces, Baby Food, Compact Storage, Easy Clean, Aqua

I use this to help me with my soap making not for making smoothies, when I first got it, it smelled new which worried me if it would transfer into my soaps luckily it didn't. I don't know if it would be the same results for smoothies though. It is relatively easy to clean, soaps are pretty sticky and thick in texture so it gets hard to get it all off even with a spoon or popsicle stick. I leave it soaking a little and have to rinse it at least twice to get all my soap off its blades and underneath them. As far as how it performs for soap making it is great, it is very loud but then again what mixer/blender isn't.. I am highly satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to others for soap making.

I purchased this a few months ago - I was super excited to get this and I loved the color. I took it out of the box as soon as I got it, but I didn't use it until just now (I have good intentions when I buy things, I just take a while to put them into action haha.) After I first got it and looked at it, I put it back in the box the way it came, no scratches, no cracks - it looked perfect. It was great while I was using it. It didn't overheat, but I didn't hold the button down for long periods of time. I went to wash it after just this one use (I was making tomato soup, so I wasn't blending anything hardcore, just soft tomatoes) and I noticed a huge crack in the middle of it (it was not there when I received this nor was it bounced around or put under things while it was not in use. I take care of my kitchen appliances, no matter how big or small.) I'm very disappointed that this has happened. Maybe it was just a fluke that this happened to mine, but who knows. I wouldn't discourage anyone from buying this - since you never know what will happen. I read reviews before I buy anything on Amazon, but sometimes you just need to try things out for yourself, maybe it will work out better for you than it did for me.

This is one of the best things ever! I purchased this specific blender because of the price. I wasn't sure how often I would use it. This is officially my go-to blender. It is SO easy to use and clean. Super portable for travel, and I haven't had any issues with it over-heating like I had read in other reviews. I have already used it for various things including making my morning smoothies with ice, fresh fruit, etc., I've made soups, and I have used this to 'mash' sweet potatoes. No issues and I LOVE that I can control how the texture turns out with this vs a stand up blender.

I bought this blender to mix up protein shakes. This thing has same power. It sucks itself down to the bottom of the glass when blending. I also used this to make salsa and a smoothy. The only reason I am giving a 4 at this point is that I am waiting to see how long it lasts. I will update my review in 6 months.Update... I tried to used this hand blender to blend up frozen fruit to make a thick ice cream. The frozen bananas were too tough and the motor burnt out. I would say this product is great when blending low viscosity things like milk shakes or simple drinks. When put to the test with frozen or solid things it will not work well.

I bought this hand held blender for my Keto coffee. It works wonderfully! The only complaint is cleaning inside where the blade is. I’m always afraid I’m going to cut my fingers. Other than that I would definitely recommend!

I have had this for several months now and I have to say that this works for exactly what I wanted it for. If you make a lot of soups and sauces like I do, this works perfectly and it looks super awesome, too (which is a bonus for me).I have had no mechanical issues as of yet, it is easy to clean and it's very comfortable to hold. It is also powerful, which at first was something I wasn't expecting. This was definitely a great investment.

I LOVE this hand blender!Bought this for my husband for Christmas. It tears through frozen berries with ease - making delicious smoothies for myself and super smooth, creamy milkshakes for the rest of the house. I love the color also. It reminds me of an old school Cadillac. Very sleek and sexy.... for a kitchen utensil. Cleaning isn't too difficult either.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an attractive and functional hand blender for smoothies and / or milkshakes.

This hand blender comes in handy, especially when I'm making soup in the crock pot. It splatters a lot no matter what I'm doing but it was an overall great buy for only $9 Love the choice of colors too!
