Rank #5 in Best Hand Blender 2026: 10 Ranked, 1000W Claims vs 750W Specs
Russell Hobbs Desire 3-in-1 Hand Blender, 24702
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
At number five in this guide, the Russell Hobbs Desire 24702 is a corded 3-in-1 hand blender: a stainless steel blending leg, an electric whisk and a 500ml chopping bowl with lid and blade, plus a 700ml beaker. It is listed at £34.00 and carries a 4.0 rating from 6,839 reviews.
The finding on this one is a power figure that does not hold still. The title and the specification table both call the 24702 a 500W blender, while the fourth bullet describes a "400W motor", and the listing offers no explanation for the two numbers, so the lower figure is the one to plan around. The same page lists 2 speeds in its specification table and "2 speeds & pulse setting" in a bullet, and 12,000 RPM under its special features. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing for this product; we have not tested the blender ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought this mainly for the mini chopper attachment, particularly for chopping onions, garlic and herbs when cooking. I like that you also get the stick blender and whisk without needing three separate appliances. The chopper is a useful size for everyday meal preparation and the whole set feels much more practical than getting a full-size food processor out for small jobs. Good value for the number of functions included!”
Verified purchase“The quality is very good and chopping performance is very good.”
