Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This unit replaced an Oster unit that failed when the blade came spinning out into the pot of soup that I was blending. The Ultra-Stick, which cost about the same as the Oster is superior in a number of ways. The first is really a safety feature. When you plug it in a soft blue light glows around the buttons and top reminding the operator that the unit is ready to cut. There is no comparison to the quality. As you would imagine, the mass of the stainless steel Mueller is much greater than my old plastic blender. The power is much greater than you would expect for an immersion blender at this price even featuring variable speed control that is effective for both the regular and turbo speeds.
