Zwilling hand blender summary
- Available from Zwilling (£69.95)
The Zwilling hand blender is a compact yet super-effective hand blender, well suited to those who do not want a larger, heavier blender but still need one that will perform well. The shaft and two-prong blade are stylish brushed steel, and the motor housing is shiny black with a stainless steel accent, making this an attractive product. The motor is a capable 550W, there is a variable speed dial, and with the added turbo boost, it makes short work of even the toughest fruit and veg. The only accessory in the box is a sturdy 600ml beaker, but other attachments are available separately. We had no problems assembling or using the blender; it was ready to go straight from the box.
How easy is the Zwilling hand blender to use?
Using the Zwilling hand blender could not be easier. There is no need for complicated instructions, as assembly and use are intuitive. The blender is not heavy, so it can be comfortably held, and reaching the speed dial at the top with the thumb is easy.
The stainless steel basket over the blade is deep, so it is safe to use with the usual care and attention needed, but we found cleaning it afterwards a little tricky, even when it went into the dishwasher.
Results
Both the mayonnaise and the smoothie were perfect. The blade on the Zwilling may be small, but it whipped up a light, creamy mayo in no time. The smoothie needed the valuable turbo button to kick start puréeing the frozen berries, but once it broke through, it only took seconds to whizz up the smoothie ready to drink.
Conclusion
The Zwilling is a great hand blender, well suited to anyone who wants a smaller machine without compromising on quality and performance.
