Product Description
Product Description
Bamix Gastro has been designed with the commercial kitchen in mind. Having a much longer Stab/stem it can be immersed into much larger deeper pans of soups and sauces for blending. The Bamix Gastro like all other models has a double insulated body housing (sleeve) but with its longer stem enables the user to go into a pan right up to the body housing to a depth of 25cms. Cleaning is as simple as running under a tap.

This is my second Bamix. My first one stopped working after 24 years. After this one arrived I read the instructions and realized that I hadn't kept the first one lubricated so I actually didn't need to replace it.!!! The moral is - always re-read instructions periodically.
However I retired the older one as this has a longer shaft. It's used every day. I also have the attachment for grinding nutmeg, chopping herbs and making breadcrumbs.

This is a must have kitchen appliance. I bought this as a Christmas present for my sister-in-law on the basis that my wife has had one for a few years now, it gets used almost daily and she couldn't live without it.

I bought the Bamix having been disappointed by other whisks of this type from other manufacturers, and having seen online demos of the product in action.Finding one reduced to well under £100, I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. First of, the equipment is fairly quiet in operation, has two speeds, and comes easily to hand in use. The build quality of the appliance appears to be excellent. It is a corded appliance, which gives you full access to full power in use; the slight downside to this is that you do have to be wary of the cord when using it on a workstation and near hobs, but I have not found this a major issue. (You are of course tied to the position of your kitchen powerpoints when using it). Other reviewers have commented darkly on the capacity of the bamix to cause splatter, but I have not found this to be an issue if you exercise appropriate care, and I love the way that it is so easy to clean ( it will balance upright on its prongs, and I keep a measuring jug with water handy for quick rinses when in use; a quick whisk in hot water is usually enough to clean it in the first instance).
It is very good with sauces and liquids, and I have used it to make fresh soup in the pan. Here the longer shaft is extremely handy, and the action very satisfying, producing a smooth soup for the family in about a minute without the need to decant for processing and sieving. It goes without saying that it also saved on the washing up.
I would have liked a manual with cooking tips and recipes to be included, but Bamix appear set on a policy of charging for extras wherever possible. In truth, there are plenty of demonstrations and recipes online, and generally I am improvising anyway, so I don't see it as a reason to deduct a star. I have yet to put the mount on the wall, but it too seems a little basic ( as is evident from the photograph) and could be more robustly manufactured, but I anticipate that it will be fit for purpose.
It is up there with the best of my kitchen gadgets, and I do find myself using it more and more, while my somewhat elderly Kenwood food processor now largely gathers dust.
On a safety note, another reviewer commented on the need to be careful when changing attachments at the end of the wand when the appliance is live. You do have to take care not to touch the switches towards the top of the wand, and to hold it lower down ( on the white part or the shaft itself) when changing the tips if you do change the attachments whilst it is live, but a quick flick of the 'off' switch at the powerpoint (or item unplugging) is clearly the best way to do it safely.

Why did I even hesitate?
I make a lot of cakes and soup, and use a "stick" blender to make buttercream and to blend the soups. Read more

Bamis Gastro 200
The last one lasted 40 years, then I used the new one. It was then I realised how slow the old one was. Just marvellous. Thanks

Didn't live up to expectations
I bought this after hearing my mum rave about it and, being a bit of a kitchen gadget fan, expected to love it. It hasn't lived up to my expectations though.
