Galaxy IMBL7 7" Light-Duty Variable Speed Immersion Blender - 2/5 HP

This blender was not even able to handle more than 10 minutes of work load with the whisk attachment before burning out the motor. I was mixing some very loose donut glaze and after a burning smell it just gave out. No joke, 10 minutes after I took it out of the box! Complete waste of money.

Unfortunately, I had the same issue other reviewers had. The motor worked fine but the blade locked up and it won't blend anymore. I rarely used it and only for soups and sauces with very little resistance. Probably got about a dozen uses out of it.

Worked great while it lasted. Bought this after burning up residential style immersion blenders in less than a year. Was hoping paying a little more would be worth it. Unfortunately this stopped working after 6 months of use. Mine the motor stopped working. Maybe time to spend a little more on a quality product.

This is a very poor quality immersion blender. After my second smoothie, the blade started to lock and make a weird noise. This was a banana blueberries smoothie. I was able to sort of unlock the blade and it kept working, although it sounded very forced bearing or something. I've used it some more on very light home duty work and today it gave up. As it turns, the blade shaft locked and this caused the very low-quality plastic gear to break from the shaft. The motor is OK but the actual shaft is locked. If I try to spin the blade it is locked. I will see if the company will grant any sort of guarantee. Hopefully, they will. Buy cheap, buy twice!!

Was great while it lasted, but after 5 months of use only on vinegarettes 3x per week (no resistance), the blade no longer spins and is locked up. Is there a warranty on this?

I'm an experienced home cook. Until now, I've used a blender for soups and sauces--it's messy and hard to clean. Then I got this "light-duty" stick and it has me hooked. It came well packaged and the instructions are very clear. The term "light-duty" must refer to professional kitchen use. For my home kitchen, this is very powerful and makes quick/clean work of pureeing soups and sauces. The wand detaches very easily for cleaning. I highly recommend this for home cooks!

The motor seems fine. The shaft seems to be the weak link for the Galaxy blender. The seal might last for one use, ten uses, or one hundred, but it will fail. This also presents a health risk as food residue will get caught in the seal and will not wash out. Food poison ing is very possible after food residue sits under the seal. I don't normally write reviews, but I felt the need in this case! The manufacturer should look into the seal assy. and find a solution before someone gets very ill.

This immersion blender works great. It's a lot better then a little blender that you would get at the store. The shaft got a little hot after only 1-2 minutes of use. The shaft is heavy duty and should last a long time for small shops. The blender itself was still nice and cool. It has an adjustable speed button but you really don't notice the difference from low to high. All ion all I'll get a lot of use out of it and am happy with the purchase.

This blender is WOW! I'm used to non-commercial immersion blenders that (I thought) worked well; this is way more powerful! I use it to blend tomatoes for my tomato basil bisque, & it's super slick! It's also heavy duty, especially since I'm used to lightweight ones. I would recommend!

I use this light-duty immersion mixer to make sure my doughnut glaze is uniform. I had previously been using a non-commercial immersion mixer, so this one seemed both way larger and less intense, but it ultimately does a far better job at getting a uniform glaze than the home mixer does. I'm glad I got this! WAY better than the same size Waring blender (but full disclosure, my Waring blender was purchased at a thrift store, so maybe wasn't in perfect condition).

This is one Great blender it came just in time to do 4 cases of Roma Tomatoes they were stewed down and blended in no time at all you wont be disappointed with this blender great price great product

Where's the "Okay-Ish" rating? Is that a 3? I purchased this immersion blender in September of 2022. Fast forward a year and a half. With gentle use... it smells hot, tires out, and stops. But, will ultimately finish the job when it cools down. Just over two years later, its dead. Burned up and completely not working. Let me describe gentle use. In my shop, we have a few condiments we do with routine and a few things we do with occasion: a peach vinaigrette, strawberry jam, tomato basil soup, egg custards, etc. We're not crushing up margaritas or even raw salsas. Used likely 2 to 6 times a week. So, lets say I've dropped a quarter or two in for every play. I have $5 wire wisk that has paid my mortgage. That makes this blender just okay-ish... Right?

Motor burned out within 15 minutes of taking this product out of the box. It could not handle blending 10 pounds of canned tomatoes, so I'm not sure what if anything it could be good for.

We bought the 7" Immersion blender in September of 2023, just 6 months ago. Six days out of it's warranty, and it is completely dead. I feel the need to mention, that we have been closed since December, so technically it has been in use for 2 months. I would highly suggest that you save your money.

This immersion blender was everything we expected and more! We have been very happy with its performance so far. It is lightweight and very user friendly.

Can not handle any liquid of any thickness, starts to have a burning electircal smell quickly when pureeing. Cord also fray after 3 months and is now broken.

I’ve had this for 2 years with light home use - mostly soups, maybe twice a month in the cooler months. I had the same issue that the others had. The blade locked up and stopped, but the motor works. Am hesitant to buy a new shaft since it sounds like there are manufacturing or design issues. My last immersion blender was for the home market and lasted more than 10 years.

Love the fact that it offers different speed options. We only need this blender for our prep. Durable and strong, highly recommended.

love this blender! the blades detach so they are super easy to clean. we use them for making chocolate ganache, soups and more! 100% would buy again.

Our other blender was horrible compared to this new one that we just bought. I have replaced every single blender that we had in our restaurants with these. They perform so much better.
