The GE feels solidly constructed, weighing in at 1.5 pounds, which gave us maneuverability and control without tiring the hand, particularly when plowing through the soup ingredients. Almost all performed well, but the GE – G8H1AASSPSS stood out for its design, ease of use, and affordability. Its 10-year warranty is five times longer than the next longest warranty and ensures its long lifespan.įor this 2022 update, we tested five new immersion blenders.The Bamix’s comfortable grip fits naturally in the hand and provides easy access to both speed buttons.Unique cage design efficiently pulls ingredients to the blade without inducing any suction to the bottom of the pot.The Bamix – Pro-1 generates a powerful yet controlled vortex that effectively blends and purées.Additionally, should a repair or replacement part ever be needed, Bamix provides service in both the United States and Europe. Their rep explained that over the past 60 years Bamix has focused their efforts on engineering a reliable AC motor, and they’re confident in offering a longer warranty. In fact, we called their support team just to confirm 10 years wasn’t a typo. Given that most brands offer only a one-year warranty, with a few rare two- or three-year exceptions, the Bamix 10-year warranty is pretty extraordinary.
For our tests, we used the four-pronged chopping blade, which has an irregularly shaped blade so that it can better connect with food particles. The Pro-1 package comes with four blades total, each with a specific function: chopping, blending, slicing, and aerating. Removing the blade actually simplifies cleaning. Each blade fits onto a piston located at the end of the shaft.
It’s a bit more awkward to clean the head due to the motor being attached, but it’s certainly not a deal-breaker.Īnd though the Bamix is our only finalist with a fixed shaft, it’s also the only product that features interchangeable blades. On the plus side, this sealed shaft also allows the motor unit to be partially submerged, giving the Pro-1 the greatest immersion depth. Bamix has stayed with this same fixed-shaft design that has proven successful since its inception. It’s interesting that our top-pick Bamix is the only finalist not to come with a detachable shaft, meaning it needs to be cleaned by hand and cannot go in the dishwasher. At an inch-and-a-half under the next tallest model, it’s the most compact blender of the lot, making for efficient drawer storage. The Pro-1 comes with only two-speed settings, but its low and high speed are really all you need. We found the ergonomic grip fits nicely to the palm, and both speed buttons are properly located for a comfortable finger position. When we first powered up, we found ourselves awed by the low hum of the precision motor - it really does purr like a fine European sports car. The Bamix not only performs well, but it’s also pleasing to operate. Its quiet motor, comfortable grip and anti-suction head earned the Bamix our top pick. What impressed us most was how well it sustained a consistent, strongly defined vortex during our control test.Įngineered with Swiss precision and style, the Pro-1 puts power and performance in the palm of your hand. We credit this design as the reason why the Pro-1 outperformed the competition. This design allows food to easily be drawn across the blade. Unlike most other cages that form a solid dome over the blade, the Bamix has a unique four-pin cage that is open at all sides. Though it may not flaunt as much sleek stainless steel as our other contenders, the Bamix – Pro-1’s outstanding performance convincingly pushed it to the top. For 60 years they’ve concentrated on engineering this one type of product, which helps explain why they do it so well. Derived from the French term “battre et mixer,” which translates to “beating and mixing,” Bamix only manufactures immersion blenders. The 12 immersion blenders we tested Productīamix was founded in the 1950s by Roger Perrinjaquet, the very man who invented and patented the first-ever immersion blender.
We’ve selected the handsomely designed All-Clad – KZ800D51 as the best cordless immersion blender. But we can now also recommend the GE – G8H1AASSPSS for its solid construction and superb maneuverability and control. After puréeing gallons of soup and quarts of fruit smoothies, we decided that our previous top pick, the Bamix – Pro-1 is still the best immersion blender. We learned that several models from top brands have been discontinued, so we researched and tested five new immersion blenders for this 2022 update.
