Are Taurus immersion blenders good?
Taurus immersion blenders have an average overall score of 8, ranking #7 among all immersion blender brands.
Taurus is known in Spain for strong, low-priced kitchen appliances, and its Bapi hand blenders are a staple of that range. The Bapi line, with the Bapi 1000 Plus Inox and Bapi 1500, pairs 1,000–1,500 W motors with four-point blades and 20 speed steps. The Robot line, such as the Robot 750, keeps to two speeds for simpler use, and the Rocket 1500 packs 1,500 W into a £30 stick.
The honest limitation is build quality next to the big wattage figures. Cheaper models such as the 750EASY use plenty of plastic in the housing and coupling, and spare shafts and attachments are easiest to find in Spain and Portugal.

The main advantages of Taurus immersion blenders are the following:
- High power per euro: The Rocket 1500 offers 1,500 W and 20 speeds for £30. Few brands give you that much motor at this price.
- Four-point blades: The Bapi 1500 and HBA1000X use four-point knives. They chop frozen fruit and nuts faster than a two-point blade.
- Fine speed control: The Amazing 1000W and Bapi 1200 Rocket have 20 speed steps. You start slowly in a tall beaker and raise speed without splashing.
- Stainless steel shafts: Inox models such as the Robot 1000 Plus Inox have steel shafts. They stay clean after tomato sauce and handle hot soup in the pan.
- Useful kits: The Bapi 1000 Plus Inox and HBA1000X come with three accessories at £30-£50. A chopper and whisk cover pesto, onions and whipped cream.
What are the main disadvantages of Taurus immersion blenders?
The main disadvantages of Taurus immersion blenders are the following:
- Bare kits: The Rocket 1500 comes without any accessories. You get a strong stick for soup but nothing for chopping or whipping.
- Few speeds: The 750EASY has a single speed, and the Robot 1000 Plus Inox has two. Mayonnaise and delicate sauces are harder to control without finer steps.
- Build quality: Entry models such as the Robot 750 rely on plastic housings and couplings. Daily ice crushing wears them faster than sturdier, pricier blenders.
- Patchy availability: Taurus sells mainly in Spain, Portugal and parts of Latin America. Spare shafts or a new chopper bowl for a Bapi 1200 are much harder to find in other countries.
- No cordless model: Every Taurus stick, including the Bapi 1500, needs a socket. You always blend within cable reach of the worktop.
