Buyers Guide to Handblenders
Gold Blend
Bamix are a Swiss company that have immersed
themselves in the hand blender. In fact, they
don’t make anything else
B
amix are well recognised as
being the authority when
it comes to immersion
blenders and have been
so since 1954. Made
entirely in Switzerland,
each machine undergoes careful
and rigorous testing throughout its
production. Their quiet, yet powerful
motors provide plenty of torque and
can reach speeds of up to 22,000rpm
depending on the model.
Bamix Hand Blenders are
comfortable and easy to use. Each
machine has two-speed settings for
every task and has a double insulated
watertight housing allowing it to
be fully immersed right up to the
handle. A special coating on the shaft
repels grease and odours making
them easy to clean. The 10-year
warranty offered with each machine
is a good indicator of the exceptional
quality you can expect from a Bamix
product.
Bamix DeLuxe Copper 180W Hand Blender
Bamix is a brand you often see in professional kitchens. These Swiss-made machines are prized for
their dependability in the face of heavy-duty blending. The 180w AC motor in this model has two-speed
settings and can get the blades spinning at up to 17,000rpm. The chromium-plated shaft has a special
coating which repels odours and grease making it easy to clean. It comes with a multi-purpose blade,
whisk blade and beater blade for a multitude of food preparation tasks. Also included with this hand
blender is a grinder suitable for grinding dry goods such as spices, nuts and seeds, chocolate, hard cheese
and dried vegetables. It’s covered by a 10-year guarantee.

4. You Smoothie
Making smoothies is a cinch. While a hand
bender might not have the fruit eviscerating
power of a big blender it can mix up a swift
fruity drink as quickly as you can cram it in a
glass.
Bamix Classic Red 160W
Hand Blender
This model is slightly less powerful
with a 160w motor, two-speed settings
and up to 16,000 rpm. That’s enough
to crush ice cubes as well as mince,
chop and puree. Guaranteed for 10
years of effortless liquefying.
Harts Price: £88.96
5. Holy Guacamole
Guacamole needs to be made quickly and
freshly just before serving, so a hand blender is
perfect. Just add avocado, lime juice, salt and
some chillies. Hand blending lets you keep it
nice and chunky too.

“From order to delivery the
process was simple. I was a
little apprehensive on ordering
Denby tableware in case of
breakages in transit. I needn’t
have worried, the items were
extremely well packaged in
bubble wrap and foam.”
