Betty Crocker Hand Blender
Score: 60/100
Peach Street Immersion Blender
Score: 73/100Rankings
Peach Street's Powerful Immersion Blender combines a 500W motor with a turbo mode and a detachable stainless-steel shaft for easy cleaning. The unit suffers from noticeable vibration and limited speed options, and its metal guard may scratch cookware. It targets budget-conscious users needing strong blending power for everyday tasks.
The Betty Crocker Hand Blender offers an inexpensive 200 W motor with dual-speed control in a lightweight, compact design. Its plastic build and low power make it unsuitable for heavy or frequent use, and the blade may rust. It works well for occasional light blending tasks on a budget.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers consider the BC-1303CK acceptable for homestyle soups and sauces but flag significant trade-offs: the low-cost plastic build leads to durability issues, the shaft can break, and the blade rusts. While the dual-speed motor and ergonomic design are praised, the limited power makes it unsuitable for heavy blending, and it lacks the advanced features found in pricier models.
Customers are split, appreciating the blender's affordability, lightweight feel, and basic functionality for occasional tasks, while repeatedly complaining about durability, rusting blades, and insufficient power for thicker blends. Overall sentiment is moderate, with mixed experiences reflecting the product's budget positioning.
“use this thing three or four times a day, absolutely love it”
“takes some getting used to”
“I need a lower speed”
Professional reviewers commend the Peach Street blender for its raw 500 W power, effective turbo boost and easy-to-clean detachable shaft, noting it performs well on soups, frozen-fruit smoothies and purees. However, they point out ergonomic shortcomings such as noticeable vibration, stiff buttons, a hold-to-activate lock, and they criticize the lack of variable speed control and additional attachments compared with higher-end rivals.
Everyday users consistently praise the motor's strength, turbo function and the convenience of a dishwasher-safe wand, describing it as reliable for multiple daily blends. Recurring frustrations focus on stiff controls, the need to hold the lock button, vibration, suction that sticks the wand to pot bottoms, and a desire for lower speed settings or smoother operation for lighter tasks.
