Ovente HS560R Multi-Purpose Immersion Blender, 300-Watt Hand Mixer, 2 Speeds, Brushed Stainless Steel Blades and Detachable Shaft, Red

We've had this for a while, and use it mostly for breakfast smoothies. I chose it for the higher wattage and the slimmer profile to save drawer space. Works well, feels solid, easy to clean. Blade seems sharper than the one on the Braun this replaced. The drive-to-handle connection is plastic, but substantial; I think it will hold up better than smaller metal-to-plastic interfaces that have a tendency to strip and vibrate to failure. The 'latch' between the two sections is adequate but seems a bit flimsy; I'll wager it's the weak link in the design that will eventually lead to replacement, but I don't think that's imminent.

I used this 5 times and the motor died. I washed it and stored it as instructed. It worked okay but still not great when I did use it (could not get things smooth and the entire house could hear the motor going). The warranty does not cover the replacement product shipping fees to Canada so it would be $21 (unclear whether that was USD or CDN) to pay for the replacement which will--you guessed it--surely die after 5 more uses. Scammy scammy scammy (in Canada). Don't do it.

excelente producto, me costó bien barata, es muy bonita estéticamente, no se ve de materiales de bajo costo, tengo varios meses ya con ella y basicamente muelo todo con ella, y tiene buena potencia y no se calienta, obvio no le doy mucho tiempo de uso porque es normal que se puedan quemar este tipo de productos, pero la verdad es que no he tenido problemas con ella, es muy facil de limpiar tambien, y todavía parece nueva a pesar del uso que le doy.

The handle over the engine got so hot the first time I used this I couldn't even hold it. I am open to removing this if I can get an exchange or refund. Very dangerous

This immersion hand blender works great! It’s powerful, easy to use, and blends smoothies and soups quickly and smoothly. The stainless steel blades are sharp and durable, and the two speed options are very convenient. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and a perfect addition to any kitchen.
