Great multitool around the kitchen
I started looking for a hand blender after I moved into my apartment. I don't have a mixer, blender, or food processor. I seen a hand blender from a different manufacturer (well known Chef), but it didn't get solid reviews. Being familiar with DeLonghi products and not having too horrible of an experience with them, I decided to go ahead and order this. I'm thinking it's a new model given the lack of reviews out there.
Packaging: A very big box. 20"x16"x6" to be exact contains all the parts and pieces. After unpacking, I was left with a few plastic bags and a lot of cardboard that could be recycled. The box Amazon ships it in is even bigger, but I'm guessing that they have standard size boxes. Be sure to read the instructions and remove the plastic guards around all the blades before using them.
Hand Blender: Pretty sturdy with a nice rubber grip area. It's easy to select motor speeds and there are 2 push buttons for normal and turbo speed. You have...
DeLonghi Handblender
Wonderful Blender, more power than the Cuisinart blender I used daily for 6 to 8 years. The only shortcoming from my point of view is that the power button on the front is configured for only one finger, rather than two or three. With arthritis in my hands it is a bit more difficult for me; if you have normal hand and finger strength I would definitely purchase this brand and model. The blender cup is a wonderful plus since the circumference of the blending mechanism doesn't fit in my beverage container.
Poor service
I ordered this blender 6 months ago based on good reviews. But when the motor on the blender stopped working Delonghi was difficult to deal with. They lost the documentation I sent them, did not return a call and are charging me $15 to replace the element. I will no longer buy Delongi products.
