We like that it can also accommodate the chopper attachment so that you can take advantage of the blending cup's handle. The jar's lid doubles as an anti-slip mat to place under the jar while blending. In our test, we found that the jar was too large for a small-batch mayonnaise but that the blender itself made a beautiful mayo in a smaller vessel. This pick came with the largest lidded mixing jar we tested (42 ounces), which is helpful for larger batches but does require more maneuvering for smaller servings. The blender attachment clips onto the motor with ease and feels secure. The nonstick edge on the blender arm means you can blend in your pots without fear of scratching. The rubber handle is soft, narrow and comfortable to grip and the “on” button is easy to hold down. It requires more up-and-down motion to blend uniformly, but we still found it easy to operate. Some models create a vortex that pulls food into the blades and results in suction on the bottom of the container, but the Breville’s blade guard is uniquely shaped to reduce this, which allows you to raise the tool more easily as you blend and helps prevent splatters. This immersion blender offers 15 speed settings and has a lot of great features that make it our top pick. We also considered the weight, power and settings of each model to find the best options. To test each immersion blender, we blended a smoothie, pureed a soup and made a mayonnaise.
The pros in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab tested 13 models in our most recent test to find those that are easy to assemble, comfortable to operate and delivered on performance. No matter the type, the best models can handle big jobs like blending smoothies and pureeing soups directly in the pot and smaller jobs like making mayo or salad dressing. Others are designed with a motor that can be attached to the blender arm as well as other tools like a whisk, mini food processor or beaters like those on a hand mixer. Some are constructed as a single piece - the motor cannot be removed from the blender arm that houses the blades. Immersion blenders - also called hand blenders, stick blenders or wand mixers - give you the freedom to blend and puree foods without needing to transfer them to a full-size blender. We updated this story in February 2022 to ensure all products tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab are in stock and reflect current pricing.
