The immersion blender is a great kitchen gadget that's especially useful in cooler months when soup making is a frequent activity. Although I have an immersion blender I love, DearSugar [1] does not.

I asked you to help me find her the perfect immersion blender. You headed off to market in search of practical, functional blenders with strong blades. You saved the sticks in the Yum Market [2] on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Immersion Blender [3].

W [4] swears by her Bamix Swissline [5] blender. With its "powerful motor, easy-to-clean attachments that work very well and effectively, and stretchy cord," she refers to it as a "godsend." For more immersion blenders — ideal for making pumpkin soup [6] — browse the selection below.
