Question: Is it made in China?
Document: As with all the junk produced in China, there is plastic where it does not belong. The reflective surface just below the blade is a type of plastic, so when you submerge your blender into a hot dish you will get some leeching into the food. It's a far cry from those awful blenders that are all plastic, but a stupid design flaw that seems to be common with the mid-ragnge immersion blenders made in the last couple years.
I am very happy with my purchase, even if it is German-made.
Looking for a blender, I wanted one with no plastic parts and was affordable. I've been using this blender for several days and so far I am very happy with it. It is well made and sturdy. The only con I read from the reviews was that it's heavy. Out of the box it does seem heavy, but once you start using it you don't even notice. It blends so quickly that the weight is never an issue.
I just detached the metal leg and washed it. Rinsed, even. No complicated moving parts to assemble.The standout for me is the durability. I can't truly speak for this as I've only had it for a day, but it LOOKS well-made. I definitely recommend this for someone who needs an immersion blender, especially because sometimes the super high 1-speed blenders will over-puree things past what you desire.
this item is fantastic is exactly as I expectedIt is very easy to clean and simple to useIt works very well
sturdy and well constructed, powerful machine
We like to make Ree Drummond's yummy creamy tomato soup at our house, but like it to have a smooth consistency so we work it over with an immersion blender. Our cheapo Walmart immersion blender began to chatter loudly, so I replaced it with a much better quality unit. We use it for making all kinds of soups or blending ingredients. It's great.
Very pleased and would purchase again.
Very attractive, well-built with variable speed and turbo boost. It's a bit large but it sure works great, especially for $43! Our old Braun lasted about 15 years and then we bought one of the Cuisinart CSB series but the plastic bushing inside that accepts the metal axle, burned up after a couple of uses. VERY soft plastic and a serious design flaw for Cuisinart. This Krups also has a plastic bushing but it's much harder plastic and the metal axle has a very snug fit into the plastic.
Use it for making soups. Cuisinart blew out making a very thick potato soup. Usually don't buy anything on Amazon that has not been reviewed. But took a chance on this because of Amazon's excellent return policy.Likes:1.Metal shaft.2.Plenty of power. (200 watts) But seems like more.3.Comfortable to hold and not too heavy.4.Steel at bottom so it doesn't stain.5.Variable speed.6.Turbo button.7.Five foot cord.
Answer: Yes, it is made in China.
