How to choose
Compare motor power and speed control
Motor power, given in watts, sets how much force the motor can bring to thick mixtures, while speed control sets how fast the blade turns. In this group the Ganiza runs at 1,000 watts, the Braun at 500 watts and the Cuisinart at 300 watts, so compare those figures with the mixtures you blend. A variable speed control, as on the Cuisinart and the KitchenAid, lets you change speed during blending, while the Braun changes speed with how hard you press its button.
Check attachments against your cooking
An immersion blender can blend with its shaft alone, but attachments change what else it can do in the kitchen. A whisk whips egg whites and cream, a chopper cuts herbs, nuts and cheeses, and a beaker holds ingredients while you blend.
Clean and store detachable parts
Detachable shafts, whisks and beakers are easier to wash than a fixed motor body, and parts that can go in the dishwasher save hand washing. The Ganiza shaft, whisk and frother can go in the dishwasher, while its electronic components need only a wipe. Rinse blades after use, dry parts before storage, and keep the chopper lid and small attachments together so the set stays complete.
