Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toastmaster 1740 Immersion 2-Speed Hand Blender, White
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I knew I wouldn't use this much so I chose to buy a cheaper model. The very first time I used it the unit overheated and the motor just quit. I tried turning it off for awhile to see if letting it cool down would remedy the problem. An hour later it wouldn't even turn on. I pitched it in the trash! I wish I hadn't wasted my money!!! Total disappointment!!Customer Review: Serves its purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item primarily for mixing powdered protein, juice, and fruit for a diet I was on. I wanted something quick and easy as well as something portable that I might be able to use at home and work. It has served me well for this purpose. I have also used it for mixing pancake and cornbread mixes with milk. You can also use it for "juicing" fruit and vegetable concoctions as long as you cut the fruit/vegs into smaller chunks. It's very easy cleaning and storing. Downsides: have to hold power button throughout blending process and per instructions, you shouldn't blend for more than one minute at a time. Overall, a nice product for the price.Customer Review: Guacamole Galore
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this little kitchen helper. It will puree your lentil stews, makes great guacamole. I had used ones priced three times higher and yet this is my favorite for a fraction of the cost.
I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Toastmaster 1740 Immersion 2-speed hand blender
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good value. I use the blender to make my morning protein shake. It's simple to use and easy to clean. Would make a good gift, too.Customer Review: Lasted 6 months with occasional light use, then fell apart and electrocuted me
Summary: 2 Stars
Good points:
1. It's really, really cheap.
2. This blender worked well while it worked and was easy to clean.
Bad points:
1. You have to hold down the speed button for as long as you want to run the blender. This gave me cramps in my hand.
2. Loud
3. Has a moderate tendency to splash (I've had better, I've had worse).
4. Fell apart after 6 months; the switch broke and the handle began to split. Due to the breakage I suffered a light electric shock from touching the sauce that the appliance was immersed in.
My conclusion? Spend twice as much for a good hand blender, which will last longer and save you money in the long run.
