Rank #8 in Best Hand Blender 2026: 10 Ranked, 1000W Claims vs 750W Specs
Andrew James 5-in-1 Hand Blender Set, 1000W
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Andrew James 5-in-1 Hand Blender Set sits eighth in this guide at £32.99, with 4.4 out of 5 from 249 ratings. It is the exception to the pattern we keep finding on hand blender listings: the power figure holds still. The title says 1000W, the first bullet says 1000W and the specification table says 1000W. The speeds do the same — 8 in the title, 8 in the bullet, 8 in the spec table — and the turbo button is quoted at 1600 RPM to get through things like ginger and carrots.
The wobbles are elsewhere. The star bars on the listing add up to 100 ratings, not the 249 the page states. The title names a potato masher, but the specification's Included Components line lists four attachments and no masher, and Number of Items reads 1 for a set. The listing also answers "No" to dishwasher safe while describing the parts as detachable for easy cleaning. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing itself; we have not tested this blender.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've had this Andrew James 5-in-1 Hand Blender for a while now and it's one of those kitchen gadgets that gets used far more than I expected.I mainly use it for soups and smoothies, and it's powerful enough to blend everything quickly without struggling. The motor feels strong and the variable speed settings make it easy to control depending on what you're making.The additional attachments are genuinely useful rather than just extras thrown in to make up the numbers. I've used the whisk for batters and cream, and the chopper attachment is handy when I don't want to get the food processor out for smaller jobs.What I like most is that it saves both time and washing up. Instead of using multiple appliances, I can usually do everything with this one set. It feels solid in the hand and has been reliable despite regular use.The only minor downside is that it does take up a bit more cupboard space than a basic stick blender because of all the attachments, but that's to be expected with a 5-in-1 set.Overall, it's been a very worthwhile purchase and one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen. If mine stopped working tomorrow, I'd replace it with the same model without hesitation.”
Verified purchase“Its really handy and have a good quality. I like the lock button specifically (safe to use). Works really well”
