What is the difference in a hand mixer and a hand blender?

a hand mixer you might use to make cake batter-it usually has removable beaters. A hand blender has small blades (like a regular blender) and it is used to emersion blend soups, purees.

I'm sorry I do not know. I purchased this as a replacement, at my sons request for their blender.

A kind of plastic. Very high quality. This mixer is used by professional chefs. Not the kind of plastic you'd see in a cheap blender.

This one is quieter than my old hand mixer that was annoyingly loud! And less noisy than my kitchenaid stand mixer. It still makes quite a noise, but not annoying. Hope this helps.

I would definitely recommend Cuisinart.... If any indication of Kitchenaid - I ruined one of their top of the line blenders, because of the 'cheap' design and construction. Plus the motor on the Kitchenaid could not stand up to the task of making home-made mayonnaise (which requires an extensive time of blending). The motor on the Cuisinart has a safety 'shut-off', which so far, I have not had to challenge after many uses.....

The 800BLXL has a stronger motor (1,000W) and a removable blade assembly. We appreciate the stronger motor when making smoothies with frozen fruit. And the blade assembly allows easier cleanup. This blender also has a larger pitcher, which we really appreciate. We have had ours quite awhile and use it regularly. It is an impressive blender. We are very pleased.

Honestly, i wouldn't consider these two items as interchangeable at all. The blender would be for soups or chunky things that need to be made smooth. This is for creating foam out of already smooth liquids... mainly milk into foam, ect... I'd never consider using it to make fresh tomatoes into marinara sauce just like id never use a blender stick to make a latte. Just my opinion, but it works wonderfully!

its a very durable high quality hand mixer -great for general mixing -but if its a hook you require ( for stuff like pizza dough etc. )the more durable stand Kitchen aid mixer is what you should use !

I cannot specifically answer... I purchased the 5200, and it is an amazing machine. I did months and months of homework before purchasing... Most consumer reviews put Vitamix on top... Consumer Reports put Vitamix on top... So then weeding through the many different Vitamix models... The 5200 kept popping up... THE top lender on CR... Smoothie King uses the 5200... And the narrower base really prevents build up like you get on the wider base models that are similar to BlendTec. I trust CR, and the many consumer reviews back it up. You won't go wrong with the 5200.

Just more levels between the extremes. The high levels are the most problematic because that's when the attachments start shaking out of aliment and will even fall off. I'm throwing mine away. I wouldn't even give this away for free especially because I know 2 other people with the exact same hand mixer and the exact same problem. Hope this helps.

It blends a lot better than a conventional household blender, but it still only has cutting blades on the bottom of the unit. A Ninga is better than the Magic Bullet because it has a number of cutting blades.

I don't know, I just looked at my blender and the pattern looked like it, for the price I gave it a shot and it worked great. That's what I use at work. That being said, I just bought a new kitchen aid for home you can get them refurbished for $59 and oh my now that's a blender!

Plastic. I've given up on hand mixers. Finally sucked it up and got a stand mixer. Didn't want one because they are so big, (and expensive), but got sick of always having to replace broken hand mixers.

Well, as you now know, the blender jar is made of glass whereas the food processor vessel is plastic. The food processor's plastic is not quite as thick as the plastic of which my full-sized food processor's bowl is made.

I was not happy with the hand blender and ended up purchasing the Breville stand mixer. I felt the Bamix was difficult to clean and change attachments. My honest opinion,
