Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am absolutely loving this immersion blender. A lot of my appliances (including my stand mixer and blender) are very nice but they're super bulky. Sometimes I just want a nice easy way to mix or blend something that doesn't involve manhandling heavy appliances around my kitchen. I've missed having an immersion blender because it's so simple to use for quick little kitchen jobs. What I especially love about this one though are the extra attachments that come with it. I LOVE the whisk attachment. I think I may have used that more already than the actual blender because it's so convenient for whipping something up quickly and easily (pun intended). The chopping jar is also a really cool idea. I used to have a hand chopper that functioned similarly...this is that much easier and convenient. I love the more updated look of the blender as well, very modern. Plus, it functions powerfully (as I would expect) and gets the job (plus so many more!) done well. Super happy with this and highly recommend!

This immersion blender came well packaged. The inner box had two formed cardboard pieces to keep all of the attachments in place. The box contained an Owner’s Manual, the main body of the blender, 3 attachments (whisk, chopper with a lid, and blending attachment.) The whisk has a motor body housing that it attaches to before attaching that to main body. The inner box was inside another heavy-duty cardboard box. Main body: The length and grip are both well-designed for ease and comfort. The cord length is ample for maneuverability. Even for using with soup on the range, it will reach from the nearest and even the second nearest wall plug in my kitchen. The buttons are well-placed for ease of use. You have to keep your finger on the “low” or “high” button to use the blender. To turn off the blender, you just remove your finger from the button. You can also “pulse” the blender by pressing and releasing the button quickly. Attachments: Blending Attachment (I call this “Emulsifier”), Chopper, and Whisk. The first thing I made with the Immersion Blender was meringue for a lemon pie. Using the whisk attachment, it easily whipped the egg whites and sugar into a wonderfully peaked meringue. I used a plastic mixing bowl for this. Next, I tested it on some homemade salsa, using the chopper attachment to cut up the onions, jalapeños, and tomatoes. You have to be careful not to chop too long, so I used a pulsing method to chop. By quickly removing my finger from the button, I could easily gauge the size of the chopped ingredients in the transparent chopping bowl. This method worked great. Next, I tested it on a creamy squash soup using the emulsifier attachment. The attachment worked very well. The cooked squash was well mixed with the other ingredients. I put the emulsifier directly into the pan on the stove that I was cooking in for this. Lastly, I gave it multi-task test making a dog food treat from a recipe that I got in my dog’s monthly treat box. First, I crumbled up some hard “dog treats” using the chopper attachment. Then I put the chopped treats into a glass mixing bowl, added a banana, 6 oz of plain yogurt, and 2 T of sweet potato (a dog treat in a squeeze tube.) I used the emulsifier for that. It came out well mixed. I was able to spoon it into her rubber toy and freeze it for later. Deciding whether to pulse the buttons or hold them in was easy. I started everything with pulsing and soon figured out which ones needed to be changed to continuous. For the salsa, pulsing the button worked best because I could stop the attachment before it became too mushy or watery. For the dog treats and the meringue, holding in the button worked best. Changing the attachments was very easy. Just attach to the main body and turn until it clicks into place. To unattach, just turn the attachment the opposite way. Power: Two speeds (low and high) make this immersion blender an improvement over my previous one. I used the high speed for whisking and some of the chopping. I used the low speed for some of the chopping and for emulsifying the soup and potatoes, although the high speed worked fine on those too. Changing speeds is easy because you just remove your finger from the button and place it on the other one. The blender will stop when you remove your finger from either of the buttons. Cleaning: For cleaning, I prefer to just rinse the attachments before anything gets dried on. Then I usually hand-wash them and let them dry on a drying mat, but they are safe to clean in the dishwasher. When I use the dishwasher, I prefer the top rack. Not all pieces are dishwasher safe. The manual will go into specifics, but here is the basic info: Sponge or damp cloth – do not use in dishwasher or submerge in water: Main motor body, the gear box that the whisk attaches too, and the cover for the chopper. Dishwasher safe: Whisk (after detaching from the gear box), the chopper bowl (top rack), the chopper blade (in the cutlery basket – being careful of the blade) Wash in hot, soapy water: The blender shaft (emulsifier shaft) – be careful of the blades. Summary: I really love this appliance. This combines 3 appliances into one, and they all do a very good job. Storage is easier because the combination of pieces take up less room than the 3 separate appliances would. Also, because they are all combined into 1 appliance with 3 attachments, it’s just a matter of clicking the attachment on and then off and replacing it with another, so using more than one appliance during meal prep is faster and less complicated, along with fewer appliances taking up room in your prep space. With only one cord and one main body, there is less to deal with.

Very poor quality, cheaply made. Immersion head will not stay fastened to the power unit. Other accessories about the same poor quality. Very disappointed especially for the price paid. My recommendation is DON'T BUY IT!

This is a very powerful blender, with a very solid build. It has 2 speeds and is easy to operate with one hand. The whisk attachment didn’t seem to have a great connection, just make sure to twist the connector all the way. Once it was in place, it did a great job of making whipped cream. The best use of this for me has been the attachment which acts as a mini food processor (with lots of power). I’ve used this the most because I don’t have to get out the rather large food processor I have. It is just more convenient for smaller jobs (making salsa, guacamole, spice blends, etc). Clean up is easy. I’m just really impressed with how powerful this small appliance is. Easy to recommend that you pick this up, you’ll use it more than you might think

My kids have started liking smoothies for breakfast and the GE is much easier than dragging out the big blender even thou the GE does weigh more than I anticipated. It works pretty well too. The chopping attachment does a good job on onions and the like. My only complaint is that the whisk attachment wires are a little flimsy. They do a job on eggs but I wouldn't trust them with anything much thicker than pancake batter though

This handheld blender works extremely well. The first thing I used it for was as a chopper. The chopping attachment works as well as any electric or manual chopper. There is a rubber band around the bottom of the chopper base that holds it in place effortlessly. Next I made some milk shakes. This is an immersion blender after all. Unfortunately the ice cream was a bit on the soft side, but the shakes came out great considering the ingredients I had to use. The second attempt at milk shakes came out perfect when the ice cream was frozen solid. Last, we made a cake with the wire whisk attachment. The whisk works great, much easier than doing it by hand and less work than setting up the full sized mixer. My only dings on the blender, the power/speed buttons for high and low feel like they are backwards. I was constantly pressing high when I intended to use low. Second ding, top shelf dishwasher for all detachable pieces would have been great. Last ding, locking the attachments in was inconsistent. It seemed like it had locked in only to unlock during operation. This could be operator error, but it happened to my wife also. Overall, this really does the trick. It is much easier than digging out larger appliances to do the same work.

More and more companies are making immersion blenders now and GE's new blender is a very capable addition to the field. Well-balanced with easy two-speed operation by way of two buttons at the top of the device. It is powerful enough to drive through even tough jobs like milkshakes and root vegetable purees. The whisk attachment is a little flimsy and would be useless if bent - and the chopping attachment is just odd (blade spins to fast for most chopping tasks and the container is small - don't really understand how it might be used constructively). It would have been smarter to include an appropriately fitting blending cup (which, of course, is something sold separately). If they had gone all-in on the immersion blender aspect of the device instead of including two different unrelated attachments, this would have gotten five stars.

This blender is a great addition to our kitchen. It’s really several appliances in one, and it brings advantages to all of them. There are four pieces: the power handle, a whisk attachment, a blender attachment, and a food-processor attachment. All three make doing what you would previously do with something else easier. The handle is light and easy to hold. The three attachments attach quickly and easily and are easily removed. They can be washed quickly. The whisk attachment does just what it says, but, even on low speed, the device spins the whisk at a pretty fast speed. If you try to whisk some eggs for scrambled eggs, you might get some spatter. But where a fast whisk speed is a good thing is whipping egg whites to foam or whisking whipping cream to make whipped cream. The blender attachment doesn’t look much like a typical hand-held blender, which normally consists of two blender “blades” that counterrotate together. This blender is a single shaft with what looks more or less like a two-blade boat propeller at the end. But it works well, just like a blender, and a hemispherical cover over the blade keeps what you’re blending from spattering. I had no trouble mixing batter or making milkshakes. The food processor attachment works very well, and I love it. I’ve always wanted a food processor for simple things like dicing vegetables, but I’ve never splurged on a full-fledge processor. This processor does everything I want, and it’s very quick and easy to use and to clean. The typical hand-held mixer has not changed significantly, from a technological standpoint, for many decades, and I had always thought that this was because the design had been taken about as far as it could go. But no. This blender is a step above in several ways. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, it’s versatile, and, on top of all of that, it takes little storage space. Highly recommended.

I'm so glad that I got this GE IMMERSION HAND-HELD BLENDER. I have been wanting one for a while, but just never bought one. I don't cook a lot (especially for items that I would have to "blend") and I rarely - if ever - bake! The packaging on this GE blender was really good. Exterior of box was very descriptive of what was included and great pics. Inside, it was packed very well and all the items were damage-free. Good job. The setup - what there was of it - was effortless and all fit together correctly and easily! Before I get into my review, the one thing I really liked about this GE model is that it is mostly metal and the stainless steel look is nice sitting on my counter. Upon first use (... my first ever with an immersion blender..), I was quite surprised to find how powerful it really was. Even the LOW speed was very powerful and I had to be careful not to get the sauce I was blending all over me and the counter. It did a superb job blending the sauce, to a fine puree which was my intended result. My next blending adventure is a "soup" that I want to ensure all my veggies are thoroughly blended (chopped up) because my husband hates vegetables! Overall ... a great product. Compact. Attractive. Powerful. Sturdy construction. I highly recommend this GE Immersion Blender!

This set with the whisk, the immersion blender / chopper, and the small food processor / chopper bowl makes short work on small jobs. Two speed impulse switch gives great control. I had another similar unit by Braun that is not as complete as this set and the biggest difference with it and this one is the Braun has a continuous power -on switch option. Thinking back, I rarely used that function so just having only a pulse switch - one high speed and one low speed - is not a handicap. However, the only nitpick I can bring up is the method of attachment of each accessory to the motor unit. This connection doesn't not come apart, but it is a bit loose which degrades from the precision look and feel of this unit. If GE can tighten up the tolerance where the pieces twist together to make a tight fit, I am not sure further improvement could be made. Big time winner in my book - worth every penny!

This GE 2-speed immersion blender is a good general purpose stick blender. At 500 watts, it’s powerful enough for most smoothies, stews, and soups. PROs • Long shaft that reaches the bottom of deep pots. That’s very helpful when cooking large quantities of soups and stews. One caveat to this is if you have a low exhaust fan over your stove (like microwaves with exhaust fans underneath in many apartments), the length could be a little cumbersome. • Easy to operate with two buttons, one for each speed. You must keep the button pressed to run the blender; letting the button go will turn it off. • The chopping container has a rubber bottom that does a nice job of helping keep it secure on the countertop. Other blenders I’ve owned had containers that tended to slip a lot. This one is well designed. • To connect the attachments to the handle, there’s a twist lock mechanism instead of a snap lock used by some other brands. The twist lock feels more secure but can be tricky to engage until you get used to it. CONs • A variable speed would have been nice. There are times, such as when whisking, when you want to slowly mix first, then increase to a blending speed. • You can forget which speed button is low versus high. It would be nice if each button had a different texture or other distinguishing feature. I’ve made a few smoothies so far and they’ve turned out excellent. The blender does not generate as much foam as another brand I own, so it’s well suited for denser foods like soups, shakes, etc… All in all this GE immersion blender will serve you well.

Excellent product! It is easy to use and clean. The motor is strong and the blender works great. I love the whisk attachment for quickly whipping cream for coffee. So great to have on hand!

This blender seems very useful. I bought it to replace one I broke.
