With the cordless hand held stick blender from Breville, you can blend your favorite smoothies and shakes anywhere you like. No more power cords to get in the way. No more searching for an outlet near your workspace. This blender will become your best friend in the kitchen! The blender includes a safety feature that requires two buttons to be pressed simultaneously in order to turn on the machine. Once activated, the 9.6 volt cordless stick mixer will run for approximately 20 minutes, so you can mash your potatoes, mix your protein shake, or puree fresh berries without the worry of the power running out. When you're finished, place the hand blender in its charger base to recharge. The NiMH rechargeable batteries will be at full power again in just 3 hours.

Comments about Breville BCS500XL - Cordless Hand Blender:
Awkward running position having to push two buttons (supposedly a safety feature, but doesn't have the ump to cause injury), unless you have a hand the size of Wilt Chamberlain. Not enough power to even mash very, very ripe banana. Expensive, very expensive, for what it can do, basically mix liquids. Don't use it with ice cause it will just frustrate you. Should have returned mine long time ago, should have gotten a corded unit with many more times the power, or maybe the Magic Bullet.
