The “Perfect” All-Clad Stick Blender I’m Using All Soup Season (It’s Nearly 50% Off!)

A blender is one of those items that feels like a kitchen must-have. But if you, like me, don’t have a ton of countertop space to work with, it can become a real hassle. I lug it out when I’m making soups or smoothies or purées, clean it, and then stick it back on the storage rack that sits outside of my kitchen. Not the most ideal situation, to be completely honest. And because of that, I don’t love using my blender. But the cousin of the countertop blender — the immersion blender — has proven to be a better space-conscious option for me a fair amount of the time.

I love having an immersion blender — especially this time of year because it’s when I’m making creamy, smooth soups. If you want one for your own soup-making adventures this fall and winter, then you’ll want to grab All-Clad’s Stainless Steel Immersion Blender while it’s close to 50% off (aka under $100!). 

In case you aren’t totally sure, an immersion blender is a handheld gadget that you place into pots or jars to blend up food and drinks on the spot. All-Clad’s Immersion Blender stands out particularly because of how good it is at blending up difficult ingredients, according to reviewers. We can thank its motor, which packs 600 watts, for that.

For reference, I have a 500-watt immersion blender from a different brand that does a good job breaking down tender foods (like those stewed in a soup) but can struggle with things like potatoes that aren’t as well-cooked. This All-Clad Immersion Blender is one of the higher-powered ones I’ve seen, which is amazing for ensuring your soups, sauces, and more come out nice and smooth. Plus, it has multiple speed options you can utilize. And if those aren’t fast enough for you, you can tap the turbo button to speed things along.

This immersion blender usually goes for $170 on All-Clad’s site. But right now, you can pick it up for just $90, which feels like a steal when you consider how handy this gadget will be throughout the holiday season.

Average Rating: 4.8/5

“I purchased one for me and for my daughter-in-law several years ago. We use ours all the time. My husband is happy not getting the blender out all the time. I make a parsley hummus and this stick blender eliminates mixing in batches. Creamy tomato soup with my garden tomatoes is so nice to make right in the cooking pot.” —Cathy P

“Fantastic piece of equipment; makes me feel like a professional chef.” —Kevin Burrell

“I use it daily for smoothies and it powers through the ice like nobody’s business. Simple to clean, straightforward to twist on an off, powerful when needed, overall this is a terrific immersion blender at its price point.” —Anonymous
