2-speed Immersion Blender: Contour Silver by KitchenAid

I like the minimal cleanup and the reliability. My last China made blender worked well the first time and then broke on the second. I would like to see the day when a company declares that it will not, under any cercumstances, sell anything that comes from China.

Have to press on the button the whole time it's being used.

My KitchenAid immersion blender was my 'A very Merry Christmas with all my love from me to me" this year. Used for first time on Christmas day to make smoothies. They were excellent. Can't wait to try making soups. Cleanup is a snap and instructions for all the included attachments were clear. It is very powerful and for that reason it is a little heavy. That is the only reason I didn't give it a 5.

I had a small immersion blender that got the job done, but was limited. When I was able to order this one at a great price, I jumped at the chance. It is well made, contained in a kit, so that it doesn't get scattered, and addresses my needs. For some time, I've thought about getting a Kitchen Aid Mixer, but knead my own dough, so I figure this will be all I need.

This is a excellent blender. I love the way it works, and the excellent job it does. I chopped my green onions up in seconds, and the beef for my cheese ball. I love it!!!
