HBL LINEO STICK BL SET 4-IN-1

The immersion blender fits very well in the hand. You need to grip it firmly with your whole hand and run the cord between your thumb and forefinger along the back of your hand. The additional suction cup on the cord helps prevent it from dangling in the soup. The two speeds are also excellent. And the various accessories are really useful.

As always with WMF, a great product with a very beautiful and high-quality design.

After the first few uses, the mixer and its accessories make a good impression.

The handle of the hand blender is far too thin and doesn't fit well in the hand while blending. The push buttons are positioned much too low and on the front instead of the back, causing you to cramp up while blending. The speed control is ridiculously placed. Why isn't the speed function integrated directly into the push button, like on Philips products? WMF engineers should take a lesson from them; they know how to combine good design with functionality. The plastic attachments (whisk and frother) don't seem very durable. Time will tell if they hold up. Overall, another disappointment with WMF products. This has absolutely nothing to do with high-quality German branding. Nevertheless, two stars. One for the design and the second for the rubber mat on the measuring cup, which prevents the cup from rotating while blending. The engineers had a moment of inspiration there.

The immersion blender heats up very quickly. The first one started smoking after just a few uses. It was replaced under warranty. A new one gets very hot after only a few minutes of use and takes a long time to cool down. My hand gets very hot, so I rarely use it. I'm afraid that one day the immersion blender might suddenly catch fire or start smoking again. I suspect the entire batch may be defective, as it doesn't meet the advertised quality. I bought it from an official WMF store. This was my first purchase and my first experience with WMF. I'm very sorry.

Everything's great, I'm very satisfied, thank you.

The major weakness of this appliance is the motor. The first one had a loud squeaking noise from the motor. The second blender overheated and smoked. The third one had a motor that just spun freely – resulting in gearbox damage. Luckily, the retailer took it back, but only with a WMF voucher. This product is definitely not recommended.

The "coupling" between the mixer and the appliance is made of plastic and can't withstand the strain. Furthermore, the appliance can't be ordered separately; you have to order the entire set. Very annoying.
