Russell Hobbs 24702 Desire 3 in 1 Hand Blender with Electric Whisk and Vegetable Chopper Attachments, Matte Black

Product Information

Our testers assessed each hand blender's build quality. The best had casing that didn't flex when pressed, premium materials such as rubberised grips and attachments that felt secure and solid when attached to the main handle. Whisk An attachment to incorporate air into a mixture. Good for whipping up egg whites, cream cake mixes and batters.

Splash guard Usually sold separately, these fit over a bowl, with a hole for the hand blender to pass through. It helps prevent splashes from going on to your work surface. Those with difficult-to-reach crevasses or blender heads that couldn't be removed were the worst products we tried. The best hand blenders were easy to rinse out and clean by hand. Build quality We blitzed nuts and herbs in mini choppers, whisked eggs with a whisk attachment and mashed up potatoes if it came with a mashing attachment. Paying more for a hand blender will usually get you more attachments, which slot into the main blender handle to get different food processing jobs done.

Not everyone is on the hunt for a hand blender with lots of bells and whistles, but we still tested every attachment they came with, so we can tell you which ones are the best. We also tried each hand blender with Cambridge simulation gloves , which simulates reduced hand mobility, to see which ones are more comfortable to use for people with limited dexterity or strength. The best hand blenders produced silky-smooth foods with a consistent texture. The worst left lots of chunks behind and our hands tingly after use from the large vibrations. Endurance

We assumed that all these extra attachments would give similar results, but we found big differences in quality. Members can see what these differences were. Log in or join Which? now for instant access.

We blended mayonnaise for three minutes, noted how easy to was to keep holding the blender and how much the handle warmed up. We selected the best-selling hand blenders from the most popular brands available at key retailers. The best are comfortable to hold, even with reduced hand strength, the worst vibrated a lot and were uncomfortable to keep hold of after a minute or so. Washability However, if you frequently cook several portions at once, or do lots of baking, you might want to consider a food processor or stand mixer instead. These take up more space, but are better for this.
