I have had non stop issues when using the whisk feature and giving it the benefit of the doubt thought maybe it's just me! Nope the design of it is strange. The whisk goes one in the opposite direction that the lock connection goes so when your mixing cake mixes, banana bread mixes the whisk comes off mid mix. Absolutely annoying! Will definitely be returning asap!

Silicon phalange and metal seal loose under blades so food get into shaft of stick blender difficult to wash and unhygienic. Becomes loose on first use so product faulty to begin or poor seal design

piece of junk! under powered on first use, didn't use it again for 6 months after that. second time i used it it failed (motor or gearing) absolute waste of money this land fill item. will never buy a russell hobbs item again. better off buying a much cheaper piece of junk. spewing i thru the receipt away

Easy to use, not weighty in the hand. You are able to whisk, chop and mix all with one tool.
Comes with 2 mini chopper bowls, although i havent used the smaller of the 2.
Whisk feels a bit flimsy & can only be used for light whisking. Otherwise good unit for price.

Been through two of these. First lasted about 2 months before it stopped. Replaced under warranty. Second lasted about 18 months before it went as well. Both times it worked fine and then when went to use it next time, nothing. Didn't use it alot. Occasional winter soups, fine chopping mushrooms to hide on the kids' pizza and not much else. Definitely nothing demanding. Won't buy this brand again.

Fantastic value for money, I frequently use Russell Hobbs 650W Stick Mixer - RHSM650 for my cooking Channel videos and loving it. Grate power and very robust. It is a great buy.

Very disappointed - bought this because it was on special and the motor blew up on first use! Will have to take it back to the shop for a refund. Credit to Big W, I got refunded without a lot of questions asked. This product is definitely not up to task.

I had a Russell hobbs stick mixer and it lasted for around 5 years, it was great easy to use and blended up everything i wanted. Couldn't ask for a more convenient mixer.

I'm so disappointed with this purchase. I'd read enough decent reviews to make this purchase and its acceptable at blitzing soups or chopping chickpeas for hummus, but if you try to use the beater for buttercream icing- forget about it! Its not up to the job, and because the attachment screws on, it actually unscrews during the mixing process making it impossible to use!!! What a waste of money...

I bought my wife a Ronson Can-Do for her 21st birthday in 1964 and has worked well until some of the accessories started to wear out .We decided to update it with what we believed be "a quality Russell Hobbs" equivalent.....boy what a shock .
The Russell Hobbs motor failed after 4 years after using it for about 35 to 40 times in that duration .
I thought it would have lasted 8 to 10 years or am I expecting too much nowadays ??? In all fairness, it did work well when it worked......
I wont buy another Russell Hobbs, I will try to buy parts for the Can-Do on Ebay....

Joining the chorus of bad reviews of this product. Mine lasted little over a year, with very intermittent/light use. Even before the motor died blending a salad dressing of all things (hardly onerous) I found it really difficult to get the blade head on and off the motor unit, and the included chopping blade and pot was totally useless for preparing anything. Really regret not looking at the reviews before buying this one, I've previously had better luck with very cheap stick blenders but am now trying to find something that will hopefully actually last as I hate things going into landfill.

I bought for quick blending so I don't have to set up my big blender every time but it is such a disappointment. It is such a waste of money. It doesn't blend at all. forgot about the hard ones like pepper but the the soft ones like tomatoes. Do not buy it . Stay way! They look fancy but good for nothing.

RUBBISH!!! It worked well up to the day it died...one week after the warranty expired! This is typical of electrical items. I am now looking for a heavy duty stick blender. It didn't last anywhere near long enough!!

I was given this as a gift as my previous well-known brand was too difficult to unclip the attachments.
The RH worked well but about 8 months down the track (after limited use) the chopping attachment won't anchor to the spindle. What a useless piece of .........!
I have emailed RH regarding this as I also had a slow cooker which didn't even work on Day One!
Am looking forward to their reply!!!!!!!!!!

Piece of crap, the website says"products to make life easier",Always makes more work and more mess. Can't chop ice, top heavy, Perfect gift for someone you don't like, maybe the mother in law. Try putting more thought into making it functional and less into making it pretty, cheap plastic internals. Buy a sunbeam or Braun
