Product Description
The MIXXO by Bosch, launched in partnership with celebrity chef Todd English as part of his popular Todd English Collection, is a revolutionary handheld blender that prepares scrumptious sauces and refreshing drinks without the hassle of a cord or plug. The Mixxo is the first cordless hand-held immersion blender in the world to use Lithium ion batteries. Lithium batteries are lighter in weight and smaller in design than the other types. They do not suffer from the memory effect and the battery lifespan remains relatively unaffected even if kept plugged in after they have been fully charged. Other rechargeable batteries may degrade in these circumstances. Lithium ion batteries provide sufficient power for all mixing/blending needs in the kitchen, including ice-crushing capability and also deliver constant power for up to 20 minutes. An LED charge level indicator gives feedback at any time about the remaining energy reserves. A two-button safety switch system is part of the ergonomic soft-touch handle. The detachable, dishwasher safe, stainless steel blender foot offers an anti-splash design. The kit includes a chopper, a wall or table charging station, and a mixing container.

 Wish I had kept the packaging material. May 27, 2010

I had a Braun Handheld blender/chopper--not cordless, but a wonderful machine. I accidentally burnt out the motor by chopping hard cheese. I looked for another Braun, however, they were not available.
This Bosch machine does have a good motor, and it is cordless; however, I think that the parts are more difficult to assemble, clean, and store. The switch has 2 parts which must be squeezed in the right order, and even then, they don't always work.
i don't usually complain about products, but this one is so bad.

This Bosch Mixxo sees use in my home 3-5 times every day. Its light weight, and how it feels in your hand makes it invaluable for making smoothies to mixing cream in a coffee cup. Cleanup takes only seconds, the dual button to power the mixer is ingenious as it eliminates the mixer from engaging unexpectedly.
It is powerful enough to easily crush ice and frozen foods like berries smoothly in under 30 seconds. However, it is important to understand that the Mixxo is meant for smaller applications, e.g. 8-32 oz total. In other words, attempting to make a Margarita for 10 people is not going to work out very well. Experience has shown that a tall narrow container(stainless steel shaker glass) allows for the best results with the quickest, most effective blending of ingredients. This shape will provide the vortex needed to thoroughly mix ingredients smoothly.
The Mixxo is not designed for blending batters, doughs, or other thick, viscous materials. This goes for nearly all immersion blenders,the blades and small shield simply don't allow for it.
The key feature and the one that makes it stand out from the rest is that it is cordless. If more power is needed in a cordless, they certainly exist at a much higher price, but for small everyday jobs, the Mixxo is perfect.
No power--doesn't mix, chop, or crush--just chokes September 30, 2009

This useless gadget doesn't even work as well as a wooden spoon. It was horrible at mixing brownies, woeful at mixing crepe batter, and awful at mixing muffins. I tried to use the chopper attachment to chop apples after I had peeled, cored, and quartered them. It could only handle one quarter apple at a time, and that it did slowly. Using an old fashioned box grater was faster. This gadget also did not have enough power to crush the ice cubes as I tried to make breakfast nog. It just pushed the ice around kind of choking on it. What a waste of money and kitchen space! I will be returning this product as soon as possible.

We use it as a blender, chopper and mixer. It does it all perfectly. The knives are firm and the materials used are of high quality. After all, it is a Bosch.
Definitely recommended for everyone who loves to cook; housewives, couples, singles and students.
 Good brand, good item May 9, 2009

I use this a lot & am glad to have it. The included 'mini-processor' is great for small quantity preps.
My one pet peeve, however, is the dual-button configuration!
IMHO, this is totally unnecessary. Apparently meant to be a child safety thing, it's a pain to deal with. I wanted *cordless*, so it becomes a trade-off. There is at least one application where a better choice would be something with a *flat* blender foot with a low-slung blade (as opposed to the scalloped foot with the blade raised higher-as in this unit). Bamix (corded) makes a few. [...] I prefer to do some of my mixing/blending in a Pyrex mixing bowl instead of the included blender jug, though.
