Hmm, is this the same model from before? Because I bought two and one burnt out, and Panasonic said it wasn’t under their warranty because I bought it here. I kind of want to buy two more, though. Here.
@mossygreen if you have warranty issues contact meh support and they will make it right… also companies don’t know what meh.com is they usually have this place listed as “a mediocre corporation”.
@thismyusername Hmm, It’s all water under the bridge now, but that does encourage me to buy two more today… Have to sleep on it. Thanks!
PS Yeah, they had no idea what I was talking about and didn’t want to spend any time on it, and I thought, well, I have two sets of accessories and one device, so that’s almost a savings of space.
@mossygreen
Yeah, mine from last year burned out within a couple of weeks, and Panasonic granted an RMA, except it would have cost ~$15 to ship it, while I only paid ~$20 (maybe $25?) for the device.
I ended up getting a Breville all-in-one which cost quite a few times more, but it’s been working strong for me since, and I use all the attachments.
I haven’t purchased anything on Meh or commented, like at all, but this post just spoke to me.
@KDemo I absolutely love mine. I rarely drag my very expensive Kitchenaide(sp) out anymore. I used it over thanksgiving for my mashed cauliflower and for the meringue on my banana pudding. Just bought three for Christmas gifts and would probably buy more if I could, although some of these comments about them burning up have me a little scared.
Man, did Meh switch hosters or something? It’s been like a week or two where the “midnight” switchover just hangs for more than a couple of minutes, and it’s impossible to see what is for sale…
I have this model from a previous offering. It’s solid, although all the pieces take up a bit of cabinet space. I’d recommend it.
Edit: While I don’t dispute that someone said voltage differences could cause some specs to report this has a 600W motor, that’s a bunch of jive. Watts are watts, volts are included in the calculation.
Not to worry, though, it’s quite powerful no matter what number is assigned to it.
Horrible reviews on AMZN… can we get something on here that has good reviews for a change? I’m not asking for great, just good. 28% 1-star doesn’t cut it…
I had an immersion blender once. The trick is to be careful what you immerse it in. A handful of berries? Fine. Some milk and ice cream? No problem. Boiled vegetables? Sure. A bucket full of rusty bolts? Well, that’s why I used to have an immersion blender.
@rv617 And what exactly were you going to do with a bunch of iron dust? Eat it and become iron man/woman? Or perhaps put a giant magnet on the ceiling, eat the iron dust and then hang out there?
@WootTangClan I think it is Panasonic that is actually taking up the bulk of the space in that mega Tesla Nevada factory.
Pretty smart of Panasonic - get their customer (and the taxpayers of Nevada) to build a plant for them… and lock in that customer for the forseable future (or until Tesla goes bankrupt)… all in one deal!
@WootTangClan Actually the Magic Wand is by Hitachi. Not the same company as far as I know. They actually rebranded under a new name because they didn’t want to be known for vibrators after Sex and the City made more people aware of their magic.
Literally the only things on the Christmas list I gave to my parents were a food processor, immersion blender, and socks. Im seriously considering this even though it means socks only Christmas.
Echo the incredibly slow to load page times, five minutes for my iPhone and seven for iPad. Been this way for over a week.
If Fuku is a hook to bring us in, this negates it!
Good people of Meh. If you don’t own one of these you “Need” one of these. I don’t know what the whisk and the other two parts are for, I just use the immersion blender.
You have a soup that’s too lumpy, put this thing in for a few seconds. Have tomato sauce you want smoother? Put this thing in for a second.Scrambled eggs that need scrambling? Again, a few seconds and they are however smooth you want. I could talk a long time about these, but just buy it. If you don’t like it you can harrangue me in every thread I’m in.
And clean-up is beautiful. fill a slightly larger glass or mug with water and pump it up and down a few times.
You have be be careful using it, so really hot liquid won’t jump out and scald you. But if you get burned a few times, it hastens the learning process. Thank me later, I’ll be over there under the mistletoe.
[Edited: I don’t know about this brand name Panasonic, it might be crap, but immersion blenders are da shit!]
I bought this last time and was using it a few times a week and then it got weird and noisy and wobbly and I have no idea why. Like somebody came in the middle of the night and bent something in the motor.
In 2016 . . .
Meh has ensured all hummingbirds will be well hydrated. Meh has harvested every bivalve on Earth for its pearl.
Meh has lit up the world - with a plasma flame, no less.
Now Meh is intent on blending everything blendable.
In our 2015 testing, we found that the Panasonic MX-SS1 Hand-Held Immersion Blender pureed decently, but was a bear on our wrists. It required a lot more maneuvering around the pot than the Breville or even the Cuisinart Smart Stick, which put a lot more strain on our wrists than any of the other blenders. The blending cup doesn’t come with a handle and was rather small, but the food chopper attachment worked nicely dicing onions. Unfortunately, the Panasonic died on us midway through testing, perhaps because we ran it past the duty cycle of one minute. To be fair, you should run most immersion blenders for only a maximum of one minute, and we ran the Panasonic for at least two on several occasions. Still, we did the same with all the other blenders and none of them died.
Still, at $25 for a device I’ve thought about for a while but am not sure I’ll use often, I think I’m in for 1
Between this device and yesterday’s oh-so-cute overpriced water bottles, Meh is intent on solving first world problems. Let us be precious and delicate!
I don’t usually listen to my wife, as she will tell you, but I bought this to prove her wrong. Last week I heard her shout “Fuck, I need an Immersion Blender” right after the P.O.S. “regular blender” she was trying to use broke. Jokes on you wife! Although this is kind of like buying a vacuum for a significant other…I still hold hope for some sexy time…with my wife, not the blender…maybe both pending the attachments…
Just what I needed, unclear-bizarre-chance that’s what I get for checking the site while I’m at work. I guess I will add it to all the rest of the stuff that I already have from this crazy ass site. It definitely appeals to the chepo in me. One day I’m going to have a hell of a garage sale with a bunch of new products that no one’s has ever used before… well back to the Grind got to do some more inspections for all these flooded out houses in eastern North Carolina ( shame on you hurricane Matthew ).
From all appearances I purchased this, along with a VMP membership. Got the membership but no blender. I’m bummed but not surprised. After all this is so meh; I half expected some aspect of my transaction to go horribly awry. Perhaps if I half-assedly expect a similar product to be on offer maybe, just maybe, I will luck out. Doesn’t much matter either way, I suppose.
Got this, and while shredding up some bakers chocolate, it stripped out and threw plastic chunks all over my choc, can’t even just chop it by hand…
But at least the immersion blending still works, plenty of shakes in my future…

Pretty cool, I would definitely be interested if I hadn’t bought the hand blender only deal last time it was on here.

Got this in my first Fuku. Works great!
Got this from meh earlier - used it to make some lovely hollandaise sauce last weekend.

Man, did Meh switch hosters or something? It’s been like a week or two where the “midnight” switchover just hangs for more than a couple of minutes, and it’s impossible to see what is for sale…
@haydesigner Yeah I am having the same problem. Momentarily I thought it had to be a fuko but then, alas, just a blender.
@Kidsandliz When it’s a fuko they spin up more instances, the page will load faster than usual.
They are probably suffering the crush of the masses all thinking it’s got to be time for one.
@haydesigner Or maybe Meh is becoming too popular? Time to sell to Amazon and start another site!
@FightingMongoos Boooooo!
/giphy not again
@FightingMongoos
OH HELL NO!
@narfcake What Narf said!
Way to mix it up, meh.

Not to worry, though, it’s quite powerful no matter what number is assigned to it.
@djslack , that is true for watts in radiated power like a radio station, but not current. Voltage is proportional to Watts.
@craigcush I did drop out of EE to work on computers. I read up a little and get it at least somewhat. Thanks for straightening me out.
Horrible reviews on AMZN… can we get something on here that has good reviews for a change? I’m not asking for great, just good. 28% 1-star doesn’t cut it…
@opivp99 I don’t know what to say about the reviews, but the one I got is awesomesauce.
@eVil same.
@opivp99 I bought mine here and it works great. I make dog food with it.
I had an immersion blender once. The trick is to be careful what you immerse it in. A handful of berries? Fine. Some milk and ice cream? No problem. Boiled vegetables? Sure. A bucket full of rusty bolts? Well, that’s why I used to have an immersion blender.
@rv617 My Waterloo was a bowl full of soaked, dried fruit and nuts.
@rv617 And what exactly were you going to do with a bunch of iron dust? Eat it and become iron man/woman? Or perhaps put a giant magnet on the ceiling, eat the iron dust and then hang out there?
@rv617 Ah, but if you had succeeded you’d have been halfway to homemade thermite (or a dubious iron supplement shake).
@Kidsandliz Haven’t you ever had a Rusty Nail? It’s normally made with drambuie and scotch, but I thought a Rusty Bolt might be a nice improvement.
@rv617 Nope. But now your comments makes more sense to me. : )
@rv617 But will it blend?
@rv617 I had a Rusty Nail once. Then I needed a Tetanus shot. Too bad Tetanus shots don’t come in those little glasses…
I like Pansonic stuff from Eneloop batteries to electric razors to toaster ovens to cordless phones to plasma TVs.
Really bummed they dropped plasma but I get it. Even more bummed they completely left the TV business.
@RedOak I like their lithium ion batteries in the Tesla. Also they make a great vibrator they called a magic wand.
@WootTangClan I think it is Panasonic that is actually taking up the bulk of the space in that mega Tesla Nevada factory.
Pretty smart of Panasonic - get their customer (and the taxpayers of Nevada) to build a plant for them… and lock in that customer for the forseable future (or until Tesla goes bankrupt)… all in one deal!

@Serafyna I stand corrected. I have one in the closet that I couldn’t get the wife to use, collecting dust.

What are the other ones held with?
Got this first time you sold it, it’s still kicking, gets used regularly.
Note that you can use this in your Instant Pot!
@djslack All roads lead to the Instant Pot
After lurking in the shadows for a while, this is my first purchase. What have I done.
@scorkla Congrats! Or is that condolences? Either way, I guess!
/giphy hi
@scorkla You have done got 15 seconds of fame in the daily Meh email teaser!
@narfcake Thanks for the welcome!
@sligett I was surprised when I saw that! Beginners luck I guess.

Second the comment: Only run for a maximum of one minute, rest one minute, then use again, following same rule.
