Bamix Buying Guide

Which Bamix should I choose?

Over the years Bamix has introduced a number of models to the market. As all machines look the same on the outside, we have made a simple guide for you to choose from. If you have a question that is not answered in this way, you can always call, email or chat with us.

1. How powerful should a hand blender be?

The Bamix hand blenders for home use are available with three different motors. You can choose between 140, 160 and 200 Watt. Compared to hand blenders from other manufacturers, these wattages seem very low, because they often show off higher wattages, such as 700 watts. However, the wattage does not equal the power of the motor. The power of a hand blender is determined by the number of revolutions per minute.

Faster than the competition
A Bamix of 140 watts makes 12.000 revolutions, the 140 watt version makes 14.000 revolutions and a 200 watt version makes 18.000 revolutions per minute. This makes the Bamix blenders despite a lower wattage still a lot stronger than many other blenders.

Wireless convenience
Are you looking for the ultimate in convenience? Then the cordless Bamix Hand Blenders are our recommendations. These allow you to mix for 20 minutes at high speeds. That way you do not need to be near an outlet and no cable will get in the way.

The 140 and 160 watt machines are pretty close in terms of power and are ideal for chopping, mixing, whisking, foaming and grinding all kinds of ingredients and you can also crush ice with it. You'll notice that you'll achieve the desired result faster with the 160 watt version. If you also want to use it to make dough, we recommend the 200-watt machine. This makes more revolutions and has even more power!

• 140 watts: Can handle all ingredients, including ice crushing (12.000 revolutions per minute)
• 160 watts: Faster results due to higher rpm (14.000 revolutions per minute)
• 200 Watts: Because of the higher number of revolutions, better suited for mixing dough (18,000 revolutions per minute)

2. Do you want an extended version or just a stand mixer?

Bamix has created four different mixers, namely the Mono, De Luxe, Swissline and the Superbox. All versions come with a minimum of 3 blades (the multi blade, the beater and the hole disc). Below is an explanation of what each composition consists of.

3. Professional Hand Blenders?

Although the normal blenders from Bamix are already suitable for professional use, they also have a special Gastro series. These models are distinguished by the splash and waterproof buttons, coiled cord and longer handle.

• The G1 has a normal length and is actually a stripped down M200 with splashproof buttons.
• The Gastro G2 has a longer handle of 19 cm.
• Gastro G3 has a handle as long as 29 cm.

This allows them to be used with large pans of 10 litres or more. The Gastro models come with a wall bracket and 3 attachments (beater, multi blade and mixer).

The accessories

Below we explain exactly what you can do with all the accessories. Some parts are included and others you can buy separately. This way you can turn your Bamix hand blender into a complete kitchen machine.

Multiblade

The most used knife. It is used for grinding, chopping and pureeing. Ideal for soups, tapenades, smoothies and compotes.

Blender

Its special shape makes everything light and airy. Ideal for mayonnaise, milkshakes, mashed potatoes, cocktails and waffle batter.

Whisk

For beating at lightning speed. Ideal for whipping cream, bechamel and hollandaise sauce, sabayon and egg whites.

Meat knife

Razor-sharp blade that makes fibrous substances soft and creamy. Ideal for tartare, salmon mousse, stringy vegetables and jams.

Slicesy

The Slicesy turns your Bamix hand blender into a real food processor. With the 6 included knives you can cut almost anything. There are 3 graters included with which you can cut fine, medium and coarse julienne. There are also 2 slice cutters for thin and thick slices. Finally there is a double sided knife that allows you to easily chop and grind ingredients.

For the Slicesy we do recommend a Bamix with a 200 watt motor. Although the machines with less wattage can work with the Slicesy, it will work best with a stronger motor.

Storage cups

There are different kinds of Bamix cups for sale. There's a model especially for keeping sauces fresh and a large jug with a handy spout. All cups are made of SAN which is an impact resistant, unbreakable and heat resistant (up to 150 degrees) material. SAN contains no toxic substances and may be washed in the dishwasher after use.
