Want to make small batches of "blender hollandaise" and other similar sauces. Is this the one to get? Thanks.

Yes, this could work well for that purpose. Keep in mind the cup capacity of this appliance. You won't want to fill it to the top with your sauce. As long as you do that, you should be fine. I've been able to get smooth purees-- it's great for that.

It would if it worked, but it doesn't so I would choose another brand and model.

Its as good as vitamix. I have friends who use both & I know we can grind dosa/idli batter to the right consistency.

No that would be better made in a blender or food processor. This product motor is used with the Food Strainer for fruits and vegetable to make sauces and purees.

Yes you can, I have even seen some recipes for homemade spaghetti sauces online as well. Great machine!!

How frequently do these people use their blenders? once a day? once a week? once a month? In my case, my work place(a professional kitchen in a 5-star hotel in Waikiki)has a blender like this one, we use it a lot everyday. That's why I bought one myself for home use. Don't get me wrong, Vitamix are good stuff too, we have them in the kitchens too. It's like comparing Toyota and Honda, you know?! One is NOT necessarily better than the other.

If you already have a blendtec or a vitamix and you only want to make almond milk, you absolutely don't need this. I only make almond milk in my vitamix. I use the Soyajoy to cook soymilk (because boiling it on the stovetop became a nightmare), but I then re-blend the soymilk in my vitamix because this thing is worthless as a blender.

I love the ninja. I had the MagicBullet before and it was a disappointment. The ninja holds more and does a much, much better job on ice cubes. I use it mostly for smoothies but the big bowl (40 oz) is nice, too. I made gazpacho in it last summer and it was perfect. One of these days, I'll get around to making some of the other stuff in the recipe book.

I think that this fish sauce is more consistant from batch to batch. I can use the same amount every time in any recipe & get the same flavor. I also prefer the smooth flavor for use at the table as a condement.

Hi Maam,There's a product by the swiss Miss, called "Hills Bros. Cappucino double Mocha" that is GREAT. I've used it in this and I tend to make my own differing flavors. I'll take the swiss Miss or any Gourmet mixes and add to the Milk,then I tend to Drizzle in Hersey's syrup even... Over Kill but HOLY KRAP!!!! SHAZAM!!!! It's AWESOME!!!! :) I hope this helps.

I don't know for sure since I've only used the Tribest. I can tell you TriBest has many more options for using the blender, whichI use a lot. The grinder blades for spices and coffee. The adapter collar to use with ball jars...so I can make salad dressings and just keep them in that same jar. Things like that. I like the options. If you don't care about options, perhaps more power is important to you. Also, I use my Vitamix for bigger jobs...I use them both. Depends on how many jobs you want this tool for.

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!

I have both. The Vitamix is gathering dust. Sure it can make soup... like 1 recipe (all the other ones require prep work like steam something first, who wants that). SO for the 99% of the job, making smoothies, this is 90% as powerful and will crush ice and frozen foods just like a Vitamix. The only downside is size. We almost always use the 1 Collossal cup and we fill it up way past the limit line. But it wont' make as much as a Vitamix if you plan on making smoothies for 4 people. BUT the upside is the speed of cleaning. It actually might be faster and easier to just make 2 smoothies vs cleaning the vitamix. So go get it, if you haven't already. And don't get the 600, get the 900.

Whit the 5 speed blender you can obtain better results on cream soups, sauces, and I think the 5 speed blender comes with more accessories.

I have used the Grundig about 6 times now to blend various cream type soups. It works very good indeed. However, since I have never used a Cuisinart, I can't say whether or not it's as good. From my brief experience with it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand held immersion blender. Hope this helps you out in making a decision.

I bought this blender(paid $289 total cost) to make veggies/fruits smoothie and its performance to other blender brands costing $400+. I don't see why you can't make hot soup with this blender.(Although I haven't tried/never needed it.)I don't really care if this blender takes longer to blend things together than others costing hundreds of dollar more, what matter is the end result of what you intended to mix. It's like: Toyota Camry is a good car, Honda Accord is a good, which car "performs" better is a subjective thing.

If you are interested in chopping anything harder than a soft cheese, (ice, nuts, frozen fruit) then I would go with the Ninja system...this was the deciding factor for me! I have blended ice, frozen peach slices, and nuts in my Ninja without fail or fear of burnout... the less expensive models are great if you are only blending powders and liquid, even a ripe banana was a challenge for a $17 dollar model I used at my dad's...so if you are interested in longevity, go with the Ninja...even if you drop off a diet smoothie kick, you can still use it to make margaritas!

I threw mine out because it started leaking and sprung for a Vitamix (reburbished--5 year warranty). This blender blended fine while it worked but it does not puree hard vegetables like you describe. Vitamix is the the one you want to smoothies, using whole apples, etc. Whiz kid!
