some immersion blenders have 550 watts of power, with only 280 watts how does this one compare and yet the price is the same. is this powerful enough

I haven't used the Breville blender very often but have pureed winter squash for bisque in a few seconds with no problem.

It is powerful enough for my purposes but I've not used other immersion blenders. I use it for smoothies, creaming garlic & mixing small lots of dough - mostly at the higher speeds. Works well for me.

The label on the blender says 250 Watts. This beast has easily handled everything I have thrown at it - very satisfied

I can't tell you whether it makes it a "better" blender. But I can tell you that I've had others and this one has great power for my protein shakes, which usually include ice, frozen fruit, veggies and powder. It is excellent, especially for the price.

We rate our blenders based on the wattage and not the RPM's. This power boosted blender is 1000 power watts and 600 blending watts.

i am not quite sure. Its a tad heavier than other hand blenders. Its probably because of the 550w motor(which is great).

I would say no it isn't worth the $$$. If you're going to spend this much for a blender you might as well spend a little more and get a blentec or vitamix. I've had the Ninja and now own a Blendtec and let me tell you it is night and day. Not too mention those ninja blades are scary.

Yes you can use this one. Remember to read the Watt on your foood blender as this one could be to big. You can get it as 500 ^ 750 Watt also. You will also need to ask for a cord with European plug.

I love mine. I've gone through several over the years. Some broke and some were under powered. My kid, the chef pushed me to buy this immersion blender rather than another inexpensive one. I grumbled and griped about the cost. Kid was right and I would never give this up. Lots of power and very sturdy. Kid has been saying for years to go pro quality in the kitchen. Kid is right.

The voltage isn't the point. This is a terrible blender. We used one at my mother-in-law's house and it finally broke after very little use. It is junk in comparison with the Vitamix. I would definitely go with the Vitamin instead. You might also try a new company called Cleanblend...supposed to be similar to Vitamix.

The unit is not cordless, which is actually pretty good as this way it has plenty of power to blend, liquefy and do other mixing and chopping. By the way, this is not the older version that most are referring to, this is a 2014 Dualit Immersion blender, it is just awesome - more versatile, more power, solid quality and much easier to use, the curve goes right in my palm and hands between the large and index fingers, brilliant design in my opinion.

No. This product is misleading...it's not a 250 Watt blender as the description is. It is only a regular water bottle. I was very disappointed!

This is a just below average blender, I bought it specifically for making smoothies. I saw it in our local grocery store, so I was able to really look it over before I bought it. However, the "smoothie button" is a load of garbage. I use frozen fruit and frozen veggies, liquid, and yogurt. I always put the liquid and yogurt in first and still I have to use the pulse button to get everything mixed (I have to keep stopping to mix with a utensil) and then I have to leave it on the puree button to really get it to blend smoothly. Considering I use it twice a day everyday it's kind of annoying, but while it's blending I get time to clean up. BOTTOM LINE it's takes too long for making smoothies, it IS very loud, AND worst of all it leaks, there is not a good seal no matter how tight I try to make it. Is it a good value for the money? I would have rather spent the money on the Ninja. Hope this helps!

what is the maximum power of the motor. Other blenders tell us, 200W or 300W or 400W. how many watts is this motor rated at?

I don't know...we have not used a Vitamix. All we can say is that we are not disappointed by this appliance. From what most reviews say, the two manufacturers make blenders of similar quality and performance.That being said, I'm pretty sure this model is considerably smaller (shorter) than a typical Vitamix, and taking up less space on the counter is a plus. Also, this model is much lighter than I expected....our KitchenAid food processor, while much less powerful (fewer watts) is much heavier. I think this is also a plus -- it shows that you can have power without the added weight. I don't know how much a comparable Vitamix weighs.... I don't know...we have not used a Vitamix.

I have both. The Vitamix is gathering dust. Sure it can make soup... like 1 recipe (all the other ones require prep work like steam something first, who wants that). SO for the 99% of the job, making smoothies, this is 90% as powerful and will crush ice and frozen foods just like a Vitamix. The only downside is size. We almost always use the 1 Collossal cup and we fill it up way past the limit line. But it wont' make as much as a Vitamix if you plan on making smoothies for 4 people. BUT the upside is the speed of cleaning. It actually might be faster and easier to just make 2 smoothies vs cleaning the vitamix. So go get it, if you haven't already. And don't get the 600, get the 900.

I don't know, I just looked at my blender and the pattern looked like it, for the price I gave it a shot and it worked great. That's what I use at work. That being said, I just bought a new kitchen aid for home you can get them refurbished for $59 and oh my now that's a blender!

I'm not sure if this is sold on QVC & HSN as well, but all I can say is that it is a great machine, very powerful. And Yes, it has 1400 watts. To this moment, the only issue I encountered is that I can't take out the blade from the pitcher (like you can do on other machines, the Ninja for example) I already started to see water deposits between the blade and the pitcher and that's not a good thing. It will become moldy.
