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 VHB018 is a two-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, and 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 400 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 pair of versatile attachments--a 500 millilitre (ml) beaker and a 500 ml chopper bowl with stainless steel blades and safety locking lid. The chopper bowl has rubber feet to prevent slippage when in use and the attachments fully dissemble for easy and quick cleaning. They're dishwasher-safe to save on washing up (excluding the chopper's lid) and there's a clever hanging loop on the top of the hand blender for handy kitchen storage.
Use the chopper bowl to tackle herbs and vegetables, create chunky dips and sauces such as salsa and pesto and make breadcrumbs.
