It quickly became our go-to for smoothies because it was fairly quiet (nice in the morning when you're still groggy), powerful and easy to use. We were impressed with the quality of this KitchenAid immersion blender - one of the more affordable ones we tested. This model also includes a food processor and whisk attachment, and all attachments are dishwasher safe.
The jar's lid doubles as an anti-slip mat to place under the jar while blending.
In our test, we found that the jar was too large for a small-batch mayonnaise but that the blender itself made a beautiful mayo in a smaller vessel. This pick came with the largest lidded mixing jar we tested (42 ounces), which is helpful for larger batches but does require more maneuvering for smaller servings. The blender attachment clips onto the motor with ease and feels secure. The nonstick edge on the blender arm means you can blend in your pots without fear of scratching. The rubber handle is soft, narrow and comfortable to grip, and the “on” button is easy to hold down. It requires more up-and-down motion to blend uniformly, but we still found it easy to operate. Some models create a vortex that pulls food into the blades and results in suction on the bottom of the container, but the Breville’s blade guard is uniquely shaped to reduce this, which allows you to raise the tool more easily as you blend and helps prevent splatters. It does share a similar profile, and both knives have frame locks, but that’s about it in my opinion.” He told us that “no one would confuse the two” and distinguished this situation from those where “there are people making counterfeit clones that are designed to look like a real Chris Reeve knife.” Sculimbrene expressed a different opinion-although he told us that he did like a number of Sanrenmu knives, he “refuse to buy the rip off Sebenza,” saying that “there are enough good cheap knives out there that there is no good reason to buy a knock off.” We are more inclined to agree with Jackson, but we understand why some people might avoid the 710.This immersion blender offers 15 speed settings and has a lot of great features that make it our top pick.
Jackson told us he didn’t see a huge problem with the 710: “ nothing like the real. Sanrenmu isn’t trying to pass its knife off as a Sebenza, so the company is not counterfeiting (which is a huge problem in the knife world), but the similarities are difficult to deny. The body design of the 710 bears a significant resemblance to that of the highly regarded Chris Reeve Sebenza, which retails for $350 to $500 depending on the features and blade steel. The last drawback is that Sanrenmu is a topic of controversy among knife aficionados, and the 710 is a perfect example of why. It far surpasses many of the others in its price range, which commonly have cheap materials, too-tight pivots, or locks that are hard to disengage. The Drifter is a bargain, and during our use it felt more like the $80 to $100 knives we tested.
The G10 fiberglass laminate handle offers a light grippiness, and all of the edges are nicely machined and rounded over, which wasn’t the case with many of the other knives we tried. Once open, the blade locks with a liner lock that is secure yet simple to disengage. The fit and finish on the knife is excellent, and the blade opens with a smoothness common to more expensive knives. Of all the knives in our test group, the Drifter offers the best overall proportions: It has a blade long enough for common tasks, a handle that can fit all sizes of hands, and a folded length that doesn’t take up too much space in a pocket. After all of our research, conversations, slicing, dicing, apple peeling, and cardboard cutting, we believe that the best knife for most people is the Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT) Drifter.
