This document summarizes reviews of the Proctor-Silex 59738 Hand Blender. In three reviews, customers found that the hand blender is powerful for its price but has some flaws. One reviewer noted it is difficult to clean due to a deep well where ingredients get stuck. Another said it works well for emulsions and sauces but may not be suitable for crushing ice or making smoothies. A third review said it is better than a more expensive model they had owned.

Powerful little guy., June 4, 2012

I have another immersion blender at home, and it’s a more expensive brand, which is
why I was surprised when this little guy turned out to be almost as powerful. I’m not
about to use it to make smoothies, or crush ice, or anything that’s heavy duty. I have a
blender for that. Instead, this is perfect for making emulsions, dressings, sauces, and
pureeing soup while the soup is still in its own pot.

One flaw, May 12, 2012

I use the blender for smoothies (with frozen fruit, not ice) and it does a decent job
blending. The flaw is that there is a deep well at the bottom where honey or peanut
butter (which I sometimes add) get stuck. This well is up past the blade and comes to a
crease making it really difficult to clean. Considering how easy other hand blenders are

3. to clean, this one is frustratingly annoying.

It’s good., May 18, 2012

This review is from: Proctor-Silex 59738 Hand Blender (Kitchen)
I bought a new Proctor Silex hand mixer for less than $20 and so far so good. Much
better than my $50 Cuisinart which stripped gears after a few uses.
Unlike the Cuisinart, this is one piece and doesn’t have different attachments. It’s a
chopper. It doesn’t come apart. You get what you get. And what you get really works. It
does one thing well.
After a week of use I decided to read the instructions. Mostly it’s standard stuff, but the
“How to clean the hand blender” section caught my eye.
1) Unplug item from outlet.
2) Place hot, soapy water into a deep container, such as a pitcher. Submerge shaft into
container and run hand blender for 30 seconds. Unplug and rince shaft with water; then
dry.
Does anybody proofread this stuff?
