Hamilton Beach Two-Speed Hand Blender

B
Ranked #4 in Immersion Blenders
502 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

A deliberately simple corded two-speed stick with almost nothing to break, which is its whole appeal under this lens. It cannot match the Vitamix or Braun on performance, but as a cheap, disposable-in-principle-yet-rarely-failing tool it earns the last pick spot.
