Dynamic MX070 MiniPro Variable Speed Detachable Mixer, 6.5", Multicolor

The MiniPro is a fantastic immersion blender. Love the power of blender and also the dynamic speed control. I picked up it up Aug of 2011 and have had no issues with it. I had looked at Bamix professional, but ended up with Dynamic MiniPro, felt like more solid product for the money.Features I really like about it is the detachable shafts for cleaning and the support of accessories. I also picked up the mixer attachment which remove one more piece of equipment from my kitchen. ( Just saw the Potato Ricer/Food Mill) Both removable Shaft and Mixer attachment bell are meticulously milled and polished. With Solid attachment bender motor body. Second is the ability unlimited control of the motor rpm performance.One thing to note this Immersion blender has ideal maximum workload of 3 Gallons . So if your workload is greater then this I would step up to the next size and get Dynamix Junior ( 6.5 Gallon workload) or Senior ( 10 Gallon workload Immersion blenders. One thing that is big upgrade in the Junior and Senior is shafts leverage a bearing vs the MiniPro which uses a bushing.Also I have not seen the issue with cord as other reviewer talked about, The cord is solid it is more like what you would see on professional power tools like Milwaukee, DeWalt and Hitachi. I have the straight cord not the curled cord. The unit is highly serviceable. Note the Diagram showing the exploded view of the all the part that order-able for service. You could replace the motor if you needed too. Nice in the day of disposable products.[...] ( price list of replacement part also here)

I wanted a professional immersion stick blender--I lost confidence a long time ago in anything for home kitchens with a motor sold under the names Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Krups, et al. I'm not even willing to pay All Clad's steep price for its home immersion blender, though I've happily paid the steep prices for All Clad pots and pans. So, when Amazon gift cards were burning a hole in my pocket, and the professional Waring short stick was unavailable, I ordered the Dynamic. It is easy to handle, and I'm petite. I find the variable speed dial superior to the rudimentary "High" "Low" options on most other sticks. I appreciate the weighty, three-pronged cord. The motor section can be released from the stick for easier washing. Three extra blades are included for different kinds of jobs, e.g., a food mill blade is included. These are easily interchanged using the orange-handled screwdriver, also included. No instructions are included, but if you can't figure out how to use it on your own, you probably shouldn't have a professional piece of equipment in the first place. Performance is terrific--it makes short work of every soup and sauce I've blended. And that bodes well for the life of the motor. Finally, I am completely charmed by the sunny orange color.

Dynamic's Mini-Pro blender is fairly powerful and can handle thick yogurt sauce and even chocolate chips, but Dynamic seems to have put little thought into their blade retention system.Blade removal is difficult. It requires removal of a retention screw, often gummed up, then a strong tug on the blade.Worse, the retention screw as shipped was apparently dangerously loose. My wife found it when she bit down on a cookie. The screw had fallen out and nearly broke her tooth. Perhaps I should have checked and ensured the screw was tight, but I believe that the product should ship in a safely useable state.That said, all you need to do is tighten the screw when a new unit arrives and it will be fine.- I noticed that the motor gets hot after just a minute or two of mixing, but it has never stalled or slowed, and as a commercial blender I doubt that it will for many years.- I like how the blender's speed is continuously variable unlike the more expensive but less useful Bamix units which make a violent episode of small jobs.- I like the fact that the blade shaft is easily removeable. The shaft feels resistant to blade movement, so it probably uses cheap brushes rather than ball bearings or similar, but the cost of this unit is such that I think that is forgivable. Unfortunately, that resistance does mean that more heat gets generated and less motor torque reaches the blade.

This thing is just what I needed and it is obviously industrial quality way way light years better than your average stick mixer. Like the thumb control to vary the speed, the only thing i might like more is a button that stays on without pressing it to keep it running but in the end i don't see that being an issue because it works so well and so fast and you do have very precise control over the mixing with the variable speed control and the button control plus probably safer that it won't just stay on when you are not holding it so I understand the reason for that. This is an industrial quality mixer, the body, cord, everything is just something that looks like it will last for decades really, plus all the equipment from Dynamic and history they have I like the fact that it is made by a long established company with a huge product line up so getting any parts will be easy. It comes with three extra blades and a color coordinated screwdriver to replace them which again it is great quality

Producto llega dañado, no funciona y no hay respuesta por parte del vendedor. Una estafa.

I use it for soap making. It's strong!

I love this blender! Using it for emulsifying body lotions and creams. It's nice being able to change out the different blades and other attachments. Easy to clean, I use rubbing alcohols and bleach water for sanitizing and it has effected the metal parts at all. It's the perfect size for working between 1-4L I successfully worked with a bach as small as 200ml as well. It seems powerful enough to do larger than 4L but I havent tried it yet. I love the variable speed option.
