Dualit Hand Blender

Accessories! Accessories! Accessories!

The Dualit Hand Blender 88860 is a professional hand held immersion blender that is as compact as it is versatile. This “500 watt” blender features stainless steel blades for effortless liquefying,

blending, chopping, and grinding. The hand held immersion has five speeds of 9000 to 16000 rpm and pulses at 17000 rpm. It has a removable blending stick for fast and easy clean-up and is dishwasher safe. Moderately priced, this pearl chrome blender provides both quality and ease of use.

The Dualit Hand Blender 88875 is the accessories kit which includes a steel blending beaker, balloon whisk, chrome beaters, and a 500ml container with chopping blade which effectively turns the unit into a mini food processor. The Dualit Hand Blender 88810 is a bundle of both the unit and the accessories that is available in the UK separately or as a gift pack. The product has a one-year warranty.

Reviews of the Dualit Hand Blender are include references to its practicality of home use as contrasted to that of commercial sized immersion blenders. Compared to other brands, many users of the product would recommend it because of its easy assembly and clean-up. Additionally, the blender comes with a handy cookbook with great tips and recipe ideas.

There were a few complaints from purchasers concerning the 500 watt power listed on the packaging. The wattage on the motor of the blender is purported as being actually 320 watts. It appears the European wattage is 500 and the US is actually 320. Some users believe this difference is what causes the unit to become warm to the touch very quickly. This difference can be a crucial flaw for individuals wanting a hand held blender with more power capacity.

Reviews are somewhat split on this unit/ set. There appear to be nearly as many cautionary reviews as those critically acclaiming the unit’s capabilities. There seem to be a fair number of burn outs or other issues with the motor. Furthermore, while some users enjoy the 5 speeds, others say the spectrum of speeds is too narrow to make any advantage in terms of control.

As compared to the pricier Viking Stainless Steel Hand Held 15-inch Immersion Blender and the Hamilton Beach HMI200 Commercial Immersion Hand Held Blender, both of which have only two speeds, the Dualit Hand Blender is a bargain with five adjustable speeds though some users have a hard time differentiating between settings. Furthermore, it can be difficult to attach and remove blender attachments on the Viking Stainless Steel Hand Held Blender as opposed to the Dualit Hand Blender’s ease of use and assembly. Also considering the all the bundled accessories in the 88810 package, the versatility of the Dualit can't be beat.
