Looking for the perfect hand blender!

[Andy M.]

I keep strict Kashrut therefore a stick blender that has been used with anything dairy cannot be used for, say, blending chicken soup, and vice versa.

I also have one that is parve, ie isn't used for anything either dairy or meat, such as blending vegetable soups.

Thanks for explaining.

Braun. Ours, though getting old now, takes a lot of effort our of blending, and the make is as tough as nails.

I have an imitation Magic Bullet which is ideal for what I wanted it for, BUT the O-ring gasket on the flat blade section disintegrated into my smoothie after just two uses.

Amazon US [or rather one of their marketplace traders] sells all spares - packs of four O-rings, spare blades, extra goblets etc. Magic Bullet themselves sell a pack of extras, but I don't think they sell the O-ring gaskets, which are the things most likely to need replacing, but at $1.99 for a pack of four through Amazon that's not a problem.

Well it is for me, as they don't supply outside the US.
