The gracious and lovely team at Electrolux presented me with the Electrolux Ultramix Pro in order to get my feedback on its performance in the kitchen.
The Electrolux Ultramix Pro is a newer addition to the Electrolux line of home kitchen appliances. Not only is it an immersion blender, but it also has the capacity to shred vegetables, chop meat plus whip egg whites or cream. The main hand unit combines with its various attachments to provide a multi-use, multi-functional kitchen tool.
But, does how does the Electrolux Ultramix Pro stand up in my kitchen?
The Good: Overall, I think this is a great product. And by great, I mean a powerful immersion blender which also does so many other things rather than just blend. The power and blades on the immersion attachment turned my roasted sweet potatoes from toasted chucks of root vegetable into a silky textured pureed soup in less than 2 minutes. The length of the wand made for easy blending as well - no need to dunk the immersion blender in and out several times to get everything sliky smooth. Also, unlike some of the cheaper models out there, the wand is made of metal and is not a lightweight piece of equipment. When you hold the immersion attachment on its own in your hand, you know it's got some real power behind it.
Also, the fact that one can switch the different attachments in and out mean that one can buy one product, and use it for several purposes. This makes sense for people who want to save on kitchen space, but also want something that holds up to the abuses of everyday kitchen life.
I really appreciated that the entire kit comes with a container to whip in and one to chop in - and both have removable rubber rings around the bottoms to prevent them from sliding around on your countertop. Everything is all there for you once you open the box - easy peasy.

The Bad: Product only comes in black, which isn't bad per se...but I know some of you out there like colourful appliances. Not me mind you, but I know some of you are going to ask me about the other colours that the tool comes in (yes, you know who you are...). There aren't any. Black is as black does.

The Ugly: Nothing. If you are looking for a multi-use product that is powerful and performs well, this is a great buy!
