Proctor-Silex 59738 Immersing Blender, White - $9.91

Thanks! Got one for making soap.
Already have breville all in one and cuisinart smartstick for food

I like the price but its just too useless. Is it worth buying a marginally functional product tho? It doesnt even allow you to change the attachment head into anything else like a whisk or something.

I'm thinking similarly. Good price, but the reviews aren't exactly glowing... Having a hard time deciding whether to pull the trigger or not.

Sold out

Isn't that how immersion blenders are typically?

Fair enough but when I looked, it's not everywhere. Many reputable brands like All Clad (although they're known for their pans), some KitchenAid and Oster don't have it either. It seems like a new trend for immersion blenders. I've never seen those attachments before.

It seems like a neat idea, and perhaps over time the immersion blender could replace the hand mixer and the mower powerful blender. I wonder if that has an immersion blender motor in it

This got me thinking in terms of the mechanical action of a whisk. I don't think adding a whisk to something that spins is going to accomplish what a whisk is traditionally used for.
The spinning is just going to fling the product to the side whereas a whisk usually makes contact with most of the product you're whisking.
I haven't tested this since I don't own a spinning whisk but I'm not sure it'd be that useful.

A chopper? Sure. I have one for mine. It's fine. I do garlic in it.
But this is $10. For $10 blending is good enough.

I have a breville all-in-one with lots of attachments, but find them not very practical (although the immersion blender itself is good). For example, the whisk is quite weak and flimsy. I can only use it to whip up 100mL of cream. Anything more, I'd need to use a stand mixer or hand mixer. The manual says not to use it continuously for more than 1minute, otherwise the motor can overheat and get damaged.

I'd admit I didnt know they are that useless! I thought they could replace the hand mixer!

yea, no way it can replace the hand mixer. The last/only time I used the whisk attachment out of the 8 years I've had it was to make some cream cheese/whipped cream topping for 2 servings of green tea (when it was trendy). Probably works for dalgona coffee too. But meringue would be impossible. A stable meringue requires at least 6-8 minutes of continuous whipping.
