Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
If you're looking to whip up something mouth-watering in a moment, opt for a hand blender--the smaller, more portable alternative to a blender. Unlike mini-choppers or processors, this type of blending favours foods with a higher water content and so is ideal for fixing soups, sauces, milkshakes and smoothies and tackling softer foods like fruits and vegetables.
The Breville VHB012 is a three-in-one blender set. The blender has a detachable leg, also known as the head, which is dishwasher-safe and made from stainless steel. This is less corrosive and more resistant to rusting than other materials and boasts antibacterial properties that keep it hygienic. The stainless steel, two-tip blade is positioned inside the head for safety. By keeping it neatly out of the way this also acts as an anti-splash guard to help minimise unwanted mess.
The main body of the blender has a clean-looking white finish and contains the powerful 500 watt (W) motor. There are two speed settings--regular and turbo--so you can change the rate at which the blades turn to give a greater level of control. And this control is further helped by the handle's ergonomic design delivering a solid and comfortable grip. Safety concerns aren't overlooked or compromised thanks to the semi-recessed buttons which prevent the motor from starting if it's accidentally knocked over or dropped which are also soft-touch for prolonged use.
The set is completed with the trio of versatile attachments--a 500 millilitre (ml) beaker, a 500 ml chopper bowl with stainless steel blades and locking safety lid, and a stainless steel balloon whisk with plastic collar. The chopper bowl has rubber feet to prevent slippage when in use and the attachments fully dissemble for easy and quick cleaning and are dishwasher-safe to save on washing up (excluding the chopper's lid and whisk's plastic collar).
Use the chopper bowl to tackle herbs and vegetables, create chunky dips and sauces such as salsa and pesto and make breadcrumbs or alternatively reach for the whisk to whip egg whites, cream and batters.

I'm extremely impressed with this hand blender. I bought it for the sole purpose of blending large quantities of soup, hoping that it would be an improvement on my previous slow and messy method; decanting jugfuls of lumpy soup into a food processor. As it was £24.75 on Amazon at the time (April 09) I took a chance. I was impressed and surprised; it is powerful enough to do the task I wanted it for, plus there are the added extras of a chopping blade and pot (good for onions etc) and a whisk and beaker for cream and eggs. Simple to use and to clean.

Good design. Sufficiently robust for most average kitchen work - soups, vegetable chopping etc. Easy to assemble and clean. I like it.

I bought this hand blender in anticipation of having to cook for myself at university, and it arrived very swiftly from Amazon, even to a BFPO address. It was brilliant at first, and I used it for blending loads of soups and sauces, whisking cake batter etc without encountering any problems. Unfortunately, after I washed the blender attachment up after making a soup I discovered that I chunk of the white plastic bit had cracked and fallen off... I'd only been using it for about 2 months or so, and had been careful with it (as a student I can't really afford to buy replacements all the time, after all). There was certainly no indication before I used it that day that it would suddenly start disintegrating. Also, and I might just be being pedantic, the padlock symbols etc on the platic bits of the blender started to fade away after a couple of uses. Because I bought it over 2 months ago, I can't just get a refund via Amazon - I've had to contact Breville for a replacement. Will let you know how that goes.

Terrible quality, broken on second use!
I bought this product for making soup. On only its second use the link between the attachment and the handheld device broke. I would not recommend this product!
