What Others Say
Good at mixing, but a little awkward
I agree with all the reviews that praise this little appliance's ability to blend, but find it a little cumbersome. I used it daily for a few weeks to mix flaxseed oil and cottage cheese into a yogurt-like consistency (takes a couple minutes to get them really blended with no oiliness remaining), and then blend in berries and other fruit. I find the handle kind of big and uncomfortable to hold, and the whole thing a bit heavy if you need to mix for more than a few seconds. It was also NOT easy cleaning this sludge out of the blades after mixing. I've switched to a small food processor to make this concoction now. However, for other uses, these things weren't an issue and the blender works great.
Very useful
I wish I had bought one of these years ago! Rival IB954W 2-Speed Ultrablend Blender sits on the counter next to the stove and comes in handy just about every day. It does not scratch non-stick pots and pans or plastic bowls, and is easy to clean. A great investment for any cook.
Easy to Clean
Most of the hand blenders I've had were a pain to clean and became clogged when trying to blend soups. This one, on the other hand is very easy to clean. It may not have the most power, but that's a quibble. That it's easy to clean is why I'm liking it.
Great value for the money
Very happy with this purchase. The only thing that would make it better would be if it were cordless, but hey, for the price, it's a great value and works great.
Rival Ultrablend blender -great blender for the price
I've been using this now for awhile, and am very pleased with it. I bought it for making smoothies. I've been pretty hard on it. Sometimes it even smells hot, but it keeps on going. A great little blender.
