Another Kenwood Stick owner here, had it for years. The balloon whisk handy for cream/egg whites etc.

Under £5 Riverwalk it gets better and better.

I have this model - cost under £5 and still going strong after 10 years.

I've got a kenwood too which is quite old but it has balloon whisk attachment which is really useful. The attachments go in the dishwasher.

Thanks All for your suggestions. Yes Welshwife I do want a stick blender. The price under £15 is ideal.

I shall get one this week and start blitzing. smile

I imagine you are talking about a stick blender. I have a Kenwood one which has a couple of attachments - one of which is an ingenious potato masher - does really smooth mash. I do use it for soups etc and it is OK for small amounts but if I have a lot I pop it into the blender jug.

I got mine from Tesco, very cheap, I also have their hand mixer.

I make a fair bit of soup, have a brilliant, easy to clean one from Lidl! The thing is, they don't have them in all the time, so if you see them in store, get one. Mine was about £12, has different speed settings, would really recommend it.

I have once bought just a cheap one from Arg*s worked fine. Think you can buy one with an extra attachment..

I am not much into cooking but saw Nadiya last night use a hand blitzer when making a strawberry jam and I fancy having a go and perhaps even make a soup.

I don't want to spend masses on the blitzer, can anyone recommend a basic one please ?
