Food processor recommendation?

Hmm, mine plugs into the wall outlet, and that's fine with me.

You mean it's corded?

You mean it's corded?

Isn't that what "plugs in" means?

Wasn't clear to me because there's a part of the unit that can be separated and plugs into an outlet. Some appliances give you the option to use corded or not.

It's confusing because the pic that was posted does not show a cord!

 

[GotGarlic]

Sometimes the cord wraps around the appliance in a little recess and isn't visible when not in use. But if someone says it plugs in, I'd assume that means it has a cord.

Dang it, Kayelle. Much as I didn't need it, I went ahead and ordered the Cuisinart. I'm really excited about the whipping and chopping attachments, though I already have a perfectly good KA stick blender. I'll give my little Braun boat motor to a friend. Can't be a 3 stick blender family, a bit of overkill.

I have that one as well and really enjoy it!

We should start a fan club!

Your confusion is quite reasonable. Pictures don't always show the truth.

Not if she comes from another country and their verbs are different from here in the U.S.

Thanks for understanding, Addie! They may have hidden the cord to make the pic look cleaner. Nevertheless it is confusing, and the write up on Amazon doesn't indicate how the power is sourced.

The one I have must be plugged in, however if I had known there was a rechargeable cordless, I would have gotten that one. Here it is. Watch the video...

Thanks for posting this! I saw that there were 2 versions but both showed no cord in the pic on Amazon and BBB. Very confusing! I wish they would photograph products more accurately.

A lot of the reviewers say it's too large and heavy for them. I wonder if there's a cordless brand that's lighter in weight.

Pictures aren't always worth a thousand words, you need to read the descriptions too. If it doesn't say "cordless" or "rechargeable", it's not. It's only reasonable that the cordless rechargeable is going to be heavier, it's your choice.

Mine is corded. It's never been an issue. One less thing that won't be ready to go when you need it.

I assume the cordless ones have a holder that you mount on the wall and keep plugged in so it can charge the blender.

 

[Cheryl J]

I'm going to have to get one of those!

Here's a great review of all the immersion blenders on the market. Their fave is the Breville. Has anyone tried it?

Which one do you have?
