Third-party reviews

What customers like about Maxima 26cm 450W

  • Professional-grade performance suitable for mixing, pureeing, and blending large volumes up to 30L
  • Ergonomic handle design that ensures a comfortable and secure grip during heavy use
  • Powerful and durable 450W ventilated motor equipped with thermal overload protection
  • High-quality stainless steel shaft featuring a double-bearing inner shaft and robust blade housing
  • Variable speed control switch for precise adjustments across a 4,000 to 16,000 RPM range
  • Wear-resistant couplings on both the rod and motor block allowing for quick attachment changes

What customers don't like about Maxima 26cm 450W

  • Components and removable parts are not suitable for dishwasher use
  • Heavy net weight of approximately 4kg making prolonged manual operation tiring
  • Large overall physical dimensions that may feel bulky in smaller kitchen setups
  • Additional attachments like the whisk must be purchased separately

Verdict

The Maxima 26cm 450W commercial immersion blender features a powerful 450-watt ventilated motor operating at 230V, a 26cm stainless steel shaft with a 20cm insertion depth, an 8cm foot diameter, and a processing capacity up to 30 liters. Main advantages include a broad variable speed control range of 4,000 to 16,000 RPM, built-in thermal overload safety protection, an ergonomic design, and wear-resistant couplings optimized for professional kitchens. However, its significant 4kg net weight can cause user fatigue during extended operation, and its components are not dishwasher safe.
