Featured Kitchen Tool

The Bamix Deluxe Immersion Blender

"You Get What You Pay For!"
As my mother always taught me, "You Get What You Pay For!" I bought three Thunderstick Immersion Handheld Blenders and used them so much that I burned them all up. Each one worked great and the price was right, but if I had invested that money in the Bamix in the first place I would have been much better off.

The reason I loved the Thunderstick, was that it would crush ice in the glass or cup. This was great for making a quick smoothie or vegan shake. When I went to replace the Thunderstick, I found that they were now costing more and not as easy to find on the internet. During this search, I discovered the Bamix... it looked just like my Thunderstick, but had more power, cost more, but it did crush ice.

As I continued my research I found that professionals chose the Bamix to use in professional restaurants and it had been around a lot longer than the Thunderstick. In fact it seems like they copied it. So I decided to bite the bullet and pay the BIG BUCKS. And it was worth every penny spent! Bamix is the Rolls Royce of of immersion blenders.

My New Bamix Arrives
When I opened my Bamix box, it looked just like the cheaper models. But that's where the comparison stops... the Bamix is far superior! Not only is it powerful, its QUIET! I now realize that the cheaper models were only wanna-be's in comparison to the original Bamix.

Mix, chop, crush, blend, puree, whisk, whip, stir, grate, and grind... yes, the Bamix Deluxe Handheld Blender is the Rolls Royce of immersion handheld blenders.

Swiss Made
The Bamix Deluxe Handheld Immersion Blender is manufactured in Switzerland and is made from the finest materials. It has a motor and shaft that are built for vibration-free operation and almost no noise during operation.

The Bamix Deluxe
The Bamix Deluxe blender comes with three blades: a mincer, a beater and a whisk. It also has a mini-processor accessory, a free standing or hangable storage pedestal, an instruction DVD, and an excellent spiral-bound Bamix cookbook. Most of the recipes are not vegan, but the recipes can get your creativity working to adapt them for vegan cooking.
