Are Bamix immersion blenders good?
Bamix immersion blenders have an average overall score of 6.3, ranking #51 among all immersion blender brands.
Bamix is known for small, fast and long-lived hand blenders that home cooks and chefs keep for many years. Instead of 1000 W, the motors draw 120–350 W and reach up to 22,000 rpm on the G350 and M350 MAXX. Every model takes snap-on blade discs, so one machine covers blending, whisking and emulsifying, and extra processors such as a chopper bowl or dry grinder extend it further.
The real limitation is the fixed shaft. It does not detach for the dishwasher, so you clean the foot by running the blade in a glass of warm soapy water. Prices also sit far above mainstream brands: the M200 costs £220, while many corded blenders with a chopper from other brands cost a fraction of that.

The main advantages of Bamix immersion blenders are the following:
- Light handling: Models such as the M160 and M200 weigh about 0.7–1.0 kg. You hold them through long whisking jobs without strain, and they fit a small drawer.
- High blade speed: The M200 reaches 17,000 rpm with only 200 W. That speed whips cream and emulsifies dressings faster than many heavier blenders.
- Versatile blade discs: The M200 SwissLine comes with 6 accessories and the M200 Baking with 12. Whisk, beater and multi-purpose blade swap in seconds without tools.
- Swiss build: The EO140 Classic and M180 are made in Switzerland. Bamix supplies spare blades and repairs for years after purchase.
- Cordless choice: The Bamix Cordless, Cordless Plus and Cordless PRO free you from the socket. You blend a jug of sauce at the table or a pot at a hob far from the outlet.
What are the main disadvantages of Bamix immersion blenders?
The main disadvantages of Bamix immersion blenders are as follows:
- High prices: The M200 Baking costs £300 and the G£301,300. Mainstream 1000 W blenders with a chopper cost much less.
- No detachable shaft: The shaft on the M160 and M250 is part of the body. Only the blade discs go in the dishwasher, and the motor unit needs a careful rinse.
- Few speeds: Most models, such as the M180, offer 2 speeds. You cannot slow the blade gradually the way a 15-step dial allows.
- Small basic kits: The EO140 Classic and M160 come with 1 accessory, and the MX125128 M120 Pop! with none. Choppers and grinders cost extra on these models.
- Limits with big pots: The M120 Pop! has 120 W and 12,000 rpm. It struggles with large pots of thick lentil soup, where the G200 with its longer shaft fits better.
