Russell Hobbs Stick Mixer RHSM650

After having it less than a year it makes a horrid screeching sound every time I use the blender stick attachment. The plastic on the food processor attachment cracked and water gets trapped in the lid part. Sure, it works but not without a lot of noise and disappointment. Russell Hobbs brand continues to disappoint with their Microwave Convection Oven. Can't do any of the featured operations very well. Kmart brand appliances work better!

Have brought this product twice now, first from Big W then got a refund and brought the second from Riley’s Better Electrical. Big W’s lasted a day, broke and started smoking after beating steamed carrot. Riley’s lasted 2 weeks and did the exact same thing but with whipped cream. Do Not Recommend!!

The seal on the stick directly below the blade is useless - it allows food, water etc to get under it and cannot be removed. Therefore totally unhygienic no matter how well you try to wash it.

Purchased brand new, used it twice then....
Stopped spinning processing blade and the blade in stick
Stick blender kept falling off
God awful noise
Very hot and smelt of smoke
Absolutely useless
Purchased from big W

the nylon piece that goes over the spindle of the blending stick broke off and now just comes apart... not a good handy machine at all very poorly designed.it hasn't had much use and I have replaced it.

I had trouble putting it together, and managed the first time, but broke the rubber seal the second time. So it won’t work now. I only had two uses out of it. I am very disappointed.

RHSM700 Used twice and the plastic deteriorated and the machine was broken and unusable. A waste of money... lessoned learned about the quality of stick mixes but a significant blow to the Russell Hobbs branding...

After just 2 uses, the stainless steel blade part came apart from the black plastic part which screws into the main electrical part. I can still use it but i have to hold it quite still while using it.

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.
