Is this "hand blender" an immersion blender?

Hello Lucinda,Yes it is an immersion blender. You can use it for a variety of food processing needs becuase it comes with three different types of blades. It's a great product for gals and guys that love spending time cooking and baking.

It's more than an immersion blender, it also chops and grinds. Great product!

I dont believe there is but you would have to call the parts department of Delonghi or call one of their dealers to find out. It is a fantastic hand blender and I love it!!!!!

No. It's a juicer, not a blender. It's amazing but it's not a multi-purpose machine.

I bought this blender to make homemade mayonnaise as my old blender quit working. In the past I have used a very similar hand blender to blend soups and for making apple sauce, apple butter and jams, etc. There was no problem with the hot soup or jams, but I was careful not to go above the mark indicated on the blender.

No. It is not a mixer or a blender or anything like that. It is a water bottle that comes with a straw instead of of a pull top or bite valve.

Absolutely! In a much better way. That is actually the reason why I purchased the blender and I'm extremely satisfied with its performance. Speaking of, I have a batch in the fridge. Throw in nuts it's awesome.

I have used it for shakes and I do not mind little pieces of ice on my shake. It does blend the ice. Perfectly is a strong statement. But Im very happy the immersion blender

Honestly I did not check. I love this blender. I use it 2x a day. My blender has frozen fruit and ice. I love it.

i am not quite sure. Its a tad heavier than other hand blenders. Its probably because of the 550w motor(which is great).

I do like this blender but, I have not used it to Purée. Sorry I can't help

In my opinion, the first person to respond is not accurately answering your question. I actually think that the opposite technique would be more advisable. The blending shaft is 7-1/2" from the bottom of the bell-shaped blade-cover to the seam where it attaches to the motor housing(in the illustration, you see this juncture as a black horizontal line). If you've ever used an immersion blender before, you'll know that it's not the best technique to hold the blade right at the bottom of the vessel that you're blending in. The blade goes so fast inside the dome shaped cover that it creates a vortex that pulls whatever ingredients you're blending up into the blade. So even if you were blending a fluid whose depth was 8-12" you could probably do a pretty good job with this tool because its motor is so powerful. You could almost hold it in one place (though it might take longer) and find that you can reach a very fine puree. I make pureed soup with this tool all the time. I put my ingredients in a 1.5 gallon stock pot which is about 2/3 of the way full (that would make it about a gallon). It takes 10-15 minutes for all of the vegetables to be completely, finely pureed, but I love this blender. The entire blade cover must be completely submerged. If you try to use it in a liquid that is too shallow, you'll find that a lot of splattering/spewing occurs.

I use it for everything. The immersion blender attachment is MUCH higher quality than the immersion blender I had (I actually threw my other one away after using this one).

Right on, no plastic on the immersable section. Again, this blender is not like any one you will find at a retail store.

More of blender. But it's so powerfull that it's very smooth. Not much of pulp texture to it.

This is a just below average blender, I bought it specifically for making smoothies. I saw it in our local grocery store, so I was able to really look it over before I bought it. However, the "smoothie button" is a load of garbage. I use frozen fruit and frozen veggies, liquid, and yogurt. I always put the liquid and yogurt in first and still I have to use the pulse button to get everything mixed (I have to keep stopping to mix with a utensil) and then I have to leave it on the puree button to really get it to blend smoothly. Considering I use it twice a day everyday it's kind of annoying, but while it's blending I get time to clean up. BOTTOM LINE it's takes too long for making smoothies, it IS very loud, AND worst of all it leaks, there is not a good seal no matter how tight I try to make it. Is it a good value for the money? I would have rather spent the money on the Ninja. Hope this helps!

Yes, a smaller unit does that. But I haven't used it yet. If it's anything like the larger blender, it should be good!
