OVENTE Immersion Electric Hand Blender 300W Mixer

El precio está excelente, también su apariencia. Está padre! Tiene menos poder de varios otros marcas/modelos (300w), pero no es notable. Es más que suficiente. Funciona bastante bien — y ni tira el licuado a todos los lados. La he usado para hacer licuados de plátanos y leche, y también una malteada. Hay dos velocidades, y todavía ni he tenido ocasión a poner en nivel 2. Es muy fácil a usar y limpiar.

***Tengo una licuadora grande y poderosa (1350w), pero es demasiado para usar (y limpiar) solamente para un licuado o malteado. Me di cuenta que estoy usando mi Ovente HS560R Multi-Purpose Immersion Blender casi todo el tiempo, y raras veces uso mi gran licuadora.

Es muy bonita.
La compré para hacer las papillas de mi bebé pero es “muy grande” para la cantidad de alimento que utilizo.
El procesador lo ocupe para triturar especias y lo hizo sin queja.
La parte del picador de mano me costó más trabajo usarla sin embargo cumple su trabajo.
Hay que usarla de a poco para que no se caliente pero la relación calidad – precio es adecuada

Muy útil en la cocina

When I ordered the “Ovente Electric Immersion Hand Blender,” it was mainly due to an excess of tomatoes in my home. I thought making homemade tomato soup would be the best solution. I had never used an immersion blender before, so I was learning as I went along, as you can see in the attached video. My main goal was to turn the tomatoes, well seasoned in dry spicy ranch seasoning and sitting in their own juices for nearly 48 hours, into a smooth velvety soup.

To my surprise, the blender did its job, although it required more effort than I expected. I had hoped that the softened tomatoes would easily blend, considering they had been covered in a seasoning that is salt based, but it seemed the blender struggled more than I had imagined it would. Despite this, I was pleasantly surprised with the smoothness of the final product. The immersion blender did transform the tomatoes into a lovely soup, but the process made me question its ability to handle tougher vegetables like carrots. You could easily crush a tomato with your hands into soup with minimal effort. This blender made it seem like I was giving it too much of a workload initially.

While the price point of the blender is very reasonable, I found several faults with it. These are the reasons I can’t give it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The first was its inability to stand upright. This product’s design causes it to tilt at an angle when standing, which could potentially pose a safety risk, especially considering it houses a sharp, high-speed blade. There is nothing stopping it from turning on even when the product is facing upwards. I feel like that’s an oversight in the product design considering that a tilt sensor could have been used to always make sure it’s always facing down before being turned on.

Another significant issue was the heat generated by the blender. After only 5 minutes of blending the tomatoes, the plastic shell of the blender reached 135F, and even after unplugging and waiting for 10 minutes, it was still at 124F. This heat could potentially cause burns if not handled carefully, and it also makes me question the longevity of the product, considering the strain that such high heat could put on a small motor.

I also noticed that the tomato skins tended to get stuck in the blender’s sides. If the holes in the sides are meant for the puree/liquid/soup to flow through, these holes getting clogged with could be counterproductive and pose a safety risk if you are meant to clear them manually.

Despite these flaws, I do believe the “Ovente Electric Immersion Hand Blender” offers good value for its price point. Its performance, considering the cost, was satisfactory, and while I do not expect it to last for years, I think it would pay for itself even with a few uses. However, it’s important to note the potential safety risks due to the high heat it generates and the inability to stand upright on its own.

So, would I recommend this blender? Yes, but with reservations. If you are careful, mindful of the safety risks, and don’t expect a long-lasting product, this blender could be a useful addition to your kitchen.
