Is this only good for baby food? Or can i use it for everything? Does anyone use this as a normal hand mixer

This can be used for a variety of dishes. I've used mine for soups, to mix cake batter and to blend smoothies (without ice of course).

I bought this thinking I was going to just make my baby's food. It was great but making the food was a little more than I could handle so now I've used it as a food processor for over a year now and it's still Going strong.

No their not, this mixer broke during the very first use! The motor gears broke, I only had a little soften butter and a little sugar in the bowl when I went from low speed to med speed it suddenly went to high speed and would not come out of high speed. I would not buy this. tried to return but the company wouldnt take it back because it had been 3 months. But it was a gift and I didnt get it for that long after it was bought. Go with a kitchen aid.

Yes! 1 of the reasons I love it so much. I have a 6month old...so not enough extra hands. Very easy clean up. Use it all the time.

I find it pretty quiet for a hand mixer, but it is powerful, even set at the lowest speed. If you're okay with that than I would recommend it. I'm happy with mine and I've learned to handle the power with a few minor tricks.

Im not sure if you can use with food products. I use mine for mixing flooring products but it has not rusted or anything like that. I really don't see why you couldn't use it on food if you keep it clean. Would probably work great, for mixing cake batter or big things of mashed potatoes.

Sorry, but I have only used it for pizza so far. Other reviews have mentioned making bread with it.

Absolutely. Truly one of the strongest hand mixers I've ever owned. Loved it so much I bought my daughter one.

Don't think it would liquefy rice for baby; however, it works great for mixing. I am using mine for mixing pudding, crushed medication pills, milk for a patient. It makes it into a soup consistency and I love the results.

No. It is not strong enough and is for mixing only. For making mashed food for baby, you can use a hand blender, small food chopper, or a regular blender. Just have to wait for the food to cool down some before putting it into the food chopper or a blender, unless it is a blender with the glass jar. I like hand blender with detachable metal shaft, because 1) I can just stick it into any pots or cups, 2) it is not plastic so I don't have to worry about temperature, 3) the shaft can detach for easy cleaning. I like the Cuisinart CSB-75BC Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender.

I think it is more trouble than it is useful. I can chop things by hand almost as fast as using this. It doesn't chop evenly. Some of the food will be almost a paste and other parts will be whole. It has to be handwashed. I hardly ever use mine.

Well, if you're looking for something that will equal an electric mixer or one of those battery-operated milk frothers, this won't be good for that. I still have mine and I love it. I use it at least once or twice a week to scramble eggs or mix up canned tomato soup, stuff like that...anything that requires mixing via a whisk. There's no real technique other than not being heavy-handed -if this is shoved up and down too hard it's going to break or cause a lot of fatigue. I've found it's good for small pans or mixing in a smaller mixing/cereal bowl without a lot of splashing around. Hope that helps.

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

The lowest speed was too fast for me. You cannot possibly premix with it. The batter would fly all around :). I thought that the mixer was also a bit too heavy to hold. Another reason for me to return it is that I didn't feel in control of the mixing process. I wonder if it may have been due to the fact that the mixer is heavy..... Please let me know if you have more questions.

Hand mixer but it works great. My son had terrible reflux and was on thick formula. This worked great to keep it from being too clumpy.

Hi. I use this whisk for everything 32 ounces and under. It can be a challenge with heavier batters and emulsions, but I belive in your case, if you keep your mixture warm enough to stay fluid, it will work great. You can also bend this whisk to suit your needs. Hope this helps!

I use it for everything. Blend soups, pudding, hummus, gazpacho.... It has been very multifunctional for me.
