This Hand Blenders give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Good with faults
I have used one of these for about 3 months now about once per day. It does a great job of making my smoothies, even blending up frozen fruit pretty well.

2 problems though. It stopped working last week, the drive shaft on the attachment part came loose such that the motor couldn't engage the shaft. I bent the 2 tabs out to remove the top collar, then took off the nut and blade and pulled the shaft out. The first problem is it is very clear that smoothie was getting up the shaft into the middle of the attachment with a lot of mold etc.. This is a serious problem, but can be solved by cleaning better. I now put the blender attachment in a mason jar with clean water after EVERY use and run it then rinse. I do this a couple of times until the rinse water is clear.

The second problem was they used a cheap fiber washer to hold the shaft in place that broke. I went to Ace and got a c-clip and copper washer. I washed out the center of the attachment, put the...

2. Solid, professional grade hand blender
I bought one of these to use for a few things around the kitchen, such as making smoothies without lugging out the big, heavy-duty blender. So far, the Viking lives up to its name, being rugged, powerful and a no-nonsense tool for the chef.

The unit itself is well made and looks like it will last a long time with mostly metal and heavy-duty construction. In my kitchen, you'd find a Viking range and cooktop, and this hand blender fits right in.

In terms of performance, it's done everything I've asked of it, from making smoothies and smooth gravies to crushing ice and nuts. Although slightly heavy, it handles well and seems to have more than enough power for any task. When the work is done, it's also easy to clean and store.

Overall, only small complaint is that it tends to be a bit noisy, but I suppose that's expected for this type of tool.

Definitely recommended!
