Bamix?

nickyvicar

I am thinking of investing in a Bamix hand blender. Please can anyone tell me if the cheaper versions do as good a job as the top of the range?
Also, best/cheapest place to get one?
Many thanks
Nick

I must say this is one gadget where the cheap blenders seeem to do fine,but iif you want all the bells and whisltes esp ice crushing go for the real thing.

I don't know about cheapest, but were i to be forking out this much money i'd get it from lakeland.If it breaks, or just doesn't do what you expected well enough you will have no problem getting a refund.

I have one, is very good and sturdy and i expect it to last a long time.Bought it from Lakeland and the first one went wrong, they replaced it with no hastle.
If I am honest my daughter Braun Multiquick does just as good a job and is far cheaper.I bought mine after seeing a demo at the Ideal Home expo.

I disagree! My blender 'went'. At the time all our ££ was going into the kitchen extension. As a temporary measure I got a £3.95 one from a leading supermarket. The blade housing buckled the first time I used it! Food was then able to lodge above the plate.

Mines is still going strong after 9 years ! Have had no problems with it. I also bought it at an Ideal Home Exhibition.

Absolutely the best 'gadget' ever.

I've got one I bought on a car boot sale for £5. The seller had no idea what it was and said, her Mum had had it as a gift and stuck it in the loft as she couldn't be bothered with it. I was chuffed to bits at the bargain.

That was years ago and I recently gave it to my daughter and upgraded to a new one and bought the Slicesy to go with it. I think it's the only gadget I've ever bought which is used almost daily.
