Hamilton Beach 59770 Turbo-Twister 2-Speed Hand Blender Review
I have owned this Hamilton Beach hand mixer for a few years now. I received it as a gift from my mom about five or six years ago. At first glance it seemed to be kind of cheap, but I was wrong and have had nothing but great results from this blender.
The two speeds that the blender has are great. The slow speed is gentle but will still puree things. The fast speed does a great job for finely pureeing my sauces or soups. The attachments are easy to install and remove and cleanup is easy.
The only thing I don't like about this blender is the plastic parts. I am not too disappointed though because they have held up to any job I have given it.
If your looking for a nice hand blender for occasional use this should do perfectly and will last you for years. I would also suggest taking a look at Cuisinart's blenders because they are about the same price and have metal parts. If you need something that will take lots of abuse then look into a Robot Coupe, or other commercial mixer. I doubt the plastic parts or motor on this blender would be able to take constant use.

Hamilton Beach 59770 Turbo-Twister 2-Speed Hand Blender Specifications
With the 200-watt Hamilton Beach hand-held blender, there’s no need to get out a heavy mixer and bowl. Drinks can be blended right in the glass, soups pureed in the pot, and cream whipped in a portable bowl. Great for quickly blending small amounts and perfect for vacation-home use, the blender comes with two attachments: an 8-1/2-inch sharp-bladed blending wand with a protective plastic sleeve, and a 7-1/4-inch stainless-steel whisk. Both attachments twist securely onto the power handle and easily remove for hand washing. On the end of the power handle a two-speed button gives the option of low or high speed, and a five-foot cord provides good reach. A one-year warranty covers the hand blender against defects.

Underaccessorized.
Too short for practical use.
Operating speed too slow.
Dual Speed . . both too slow.
Switch position not ergonomic...nor useful.
Shaft bushing too tight a fit.
On balance, therefore: Over priced.
Works well, but retains water inside. - Sarah Schwartz - Chicago, IL
After my first hand blender (a Braun) broke after 5 years, I went shopping around for hand blenders, bought a few inexpensive ones that had various flaws (see my other reviews), and I ended up with a Braun as my second hand blender. Four years later, Braun #2 broke. I bought this one because I had seen it got good reviews on Consumer Search, and I wanted to avoid buying the hand blenders that cost twice as much.
I got it at a box store, where it was a few dollars less than here. It comes in a sturdy case, and the whisk attachment is cute. It pureed a banana in milk well on its first use, but after its first hand washing, there were big drops of water inside the clear plastic portion. I hung it to dry in our dry winter climate, and two days later, the water still hadn't evaporated. Not wanting to own a moldy hand blender, I returned it.
It's possible that it was just this particular blender that I got that was defective. It seems like these hand blenders should either have some way to prevent water from getting inside the wand, or a large opening that allows them to dry completely. For whatever reason, this one didn't dry completely.
