Breville 800BLXL Die-Cast Hemisphere 2-Speed Blender with 67-Ounce Polycarbonate Jar

Breville 800BLXL Die-Cast Hemisphere 2-Speed Blender with 67-Ounce Polycarbonate Jar

From Breville

Liquid asset. Smooth, stylish and streamlined, this blender lends clout to any kitchen. Three speed settings are backlit in blue, while the hemisphere bowl/blade system ensures every task is thoroughly processed ? from crushed ice to perfect pur?es. One-year limited warranty. Model 800BLXL.

I love this blender. I don’t have to shake it, hit it, or any of the things I’ve had to do with previous blenders in order to get a large amount of ice and/or frozen fruit blended properly. I personally know someone who had this blender’s motor stop running after a few uses- but mine works great. I make daquiris, smoothies, milk shakes, slushes, or just shaved ice with ease.

Like others, I was skeptical after reading reviews here but decided to give it a try. I have used this blender for 5 months now at my Ice Cream store to make smoothies and have been happy with it since day one. The plastic container is perfect for commercial use as it is very durable and is actually the reason I went for the 1000w over the highly rated 750w model with the glass container. I add all ingredients to the blender and press the smoothie button. This blender has torque sensors on the motor and will adjust the speed and time based on consistency to provide a perfect smoothie every time. It just shuts off when done, about 1 minute. YES, it will start and stop on it’s own to chop, mix, and blend as stated in the manual. If you are using ice instead of frozen yogurt just start with the ice button and it will chop your ice into a fine powder. This blender is heavy duty and I highly recommend it.

Back to Basics BPE3BRA3 Blender Express Plus

From Back to Basics

The Blender Express Plus is the easiest, fastest way to make delicious, yet simple recipes for salsas, dressings, soups, sauces, batters and more. And it’s quick to assemble, easy to clean and convenient to store.

This is great for making smoothies in the a.m. I haven’t had any problems with it – I use frozen fruit and juice and it works great. The cup is HUGE – I wish it were a bit smaller, say 12 oz. I use this almost every morning and have used it for about 2 mos. and it works fine.

Other features include:Five speedsEject button with safety device (blocked while the appliance is running)Turbo with safety device (turbo function only available when the mixer is operating)Chrome plated hooks and beaters200 to 230 Watt

Equipped with a powerful 210-watt motor, this convenient stand mixer quickly and easily mixes up cake batter, cookie dough, whipped cream, and more. The appliance offers five different speed settings for mixing, beating, and whipping, plus a turbo function for extra power to ensure evenly blended ingredients (for safety, the mixer must be in use for the turbo function to work). A 4-quart rotating bowl for thorough results, traditional chrome-plated beaters, and a dough hook are included. Best of all, the stand mixer smoothly converts into a hand mixer for added versatility. Other highlights include a tilt-back head for simple bowl removal, a comfortable handle to prevent hand fatigue during heavy or long mixing tasks, and an eject button that won’t work with the appliance running thanks to a built-in safety device.

Waring Pro IC70 Professional Stainless-Steel Large-Capacity Ice Crusher

Waring Pro IC70 Professional Stainless-Steel Large-Capacity Ice Crusher

From Waring

Waring Pro introduces a powerful, large-capacity ice crusher that is remarkably easy to use. The Waring Pro Professional Ice Crusher features a wide-mouth feed tube, operates with a single on/off toggle switch and has a large, clear plastic container with handle that makes it easy to access up to 12 cups of crushed ice. The heavy-duty motor and a commercial-based mechanism crush up to 50 pounds of ice per hour. Weight – 8 pounds

Was going to purchase a cheaper one, which I’m glad I didn’t. This one chops ice fast and without any problems. The noise isn’t much either. Never jams and takes a whole tray of ice at one time and it’s done so fast. It gets used everyday, as my husband loves ice water. Just a terrific crusher, and can not say one bad thing about it.

I did not think it was possible to get a consumer grade unit that makes crushed ice anywhere close to the quality of a commercial grade machine. I purchased this unit to go along with a refrigerator that has filtered water and an ice maker that makes half-moon ice cubes.

Cuisinart DLC-1SS Mini-Prep Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel

Cuisinart DLC-1SS Mini-Prep Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel

From Cuisinart

The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don’t let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds.

I bought this product for making baby food for my daughter and I love it. It is nice and small so I can leave it on the counter and not have to put it away all the time. I also love that it is easy to take apart and put back together for easy cleaning.

I really should have read the title for this food processor a bit more carefully! It says “mini” and it is mini. It works great, looks swell, but it does not have the capacity I needed. Solely my fault for not really perusing the title more carefully.

Braun M880 Multimix 4-in-1 Hand Mixer

Braun M880 Multimix 4-in-1 Hand Mixer

From Braun

With a host of useful attachments, this slender wand takes the place of bulkier appliances. Its mobility allows you to go to the stove to blend a soup or whip potatoes, as needed. Chop onions in the food processing cup, or beat egg whites for a soufflE.

I have only used this mixer once – and have not used the various attachments. I thought the mixer was comfortable to hold and did a good job. Compared to my old mixer, the mixers themselves were very lightweight. I don’t know how durable they will be as time goes by. Thought it was pricey.

The mixer is great, it does perform many different tasks. However, this isn’t the first one I’ve purchased. After some use, it stops working except for 1 speed.

Hamilton Beach Eclectrics Stand Mixer – Sugar (63221)

Hamilton Beach Eclectrics Stand Mixer – Sugar (63221)

From Hamilton Beach

This all-metal stand mixer from Hamilton Beach comes with a host of accessories – a Flat Beater for cakes and cookies, a Dough Hook for bread and a Wire Whisk for whipped cream or pudding. The 4.5-qt. stainless steel bowl comes with a Pouring Shield that helps prevent splattering while in operation. The pouring shield has a built-in chute for adding ingredients. Powered by 400 watts, the stand mixer has a two-way mixing action to ensure all ingredients are incorporated into the mix. The quick-release, tilt-up head assists when removing the bowl. 9 x 14 x 14-in. When you’re ready for a kitchen re-do, don’t call in the carpenters! Instead, “counterscape” your kitchen with Hamilton Beach’s retro-designed, affordably priced electrics in happy, sun-saturated colors. Their “Eclectrics” line includes updates to those classic appliances from the 1950s. All of their “Eclectrics” are available in six colors: Apple Green, Moroccan Red, Pineapple Yellow, Intrigue Blue, Sugar White and Licorice Black.

This product is a great buy. It is cheaper than the KitchenAid brand, but is just as good, if not better. The three year warranty gives you peace of mind much more than the one year warranty offered by KitchenAid. My husband and I went back and forth on whether or not we would purchase a stand mixer because he didn’t think we needed it, but I knew I would use it. Since purchase I’ve used it a couple of times a week or more, it is very handy, easy to use, and works wonderfully. I have no reservations about recommending this product to anyone!
