Spring Chef Blender Professional Stainless Reviews Summary

Sturdiness and Quality

Pros:

• "It is sturdy and I appreciate that part of it."
• "It looks and feels very sturdy."
• "Impressive. Extremely high quality."
• "Very sturdy and durable. You can feel the durability during use. High gauge metal used. Much better than others using cheaper materials."
• "Very durable and sharp."
• "The quality of the blades seems excellent."
• "This is VERY sturdy. Other reviews complained about loose handles but mine was sturdy and stable. Cuts well, heavy duty blades."

Cons:

• "disappointed this is made in china."
• "The metal is strong, but “stamped” so the edges are somewhat sharp."
• "I used it for the first time to make pie dough tonight and was highly disappointed that one of the outside blades bent."
• "I inspect every order I recieve from Amazon. Immediately I noticed the pastry blender was rough looking at the edges."
• "Overall, good for a pastry cutter, however, I think the blades are not as sturdy as they need to be. Can easily be bent with my fingers with barely any pressure applied."
• "I would not recommend this product to anyone. 10-18-2020. I opened the package and the stainless steel blades had metal bur shavings sticking out from the blades."
• "But after washing I noticed the blades with light pressure seem relatively easy to bend."

Handle Comfort and Design

Pros:

• "The handle is very comfortable."
• "I like the weight in my hand- solid but not overwhelming. Does its job and very easy to clean."
• "The grip handle is slightly soft which is nice for all us folks entering the decade of arthritis in the hands."
• "The handle is nice with Good feel and fit for arthritic hands."
• "This particular model is sturdily constructed to help prevent bending/twisting and the grip is both sure and comfortable, important considerations for any home user as well as for professionals."
• "The rubber handle fits in my hand well and it’s very easy to clean and does the job just right!"
• "The grip on this blender feels comfortable."

Cons:

• "the nut that holds the handle together was loose, so I had to tighten it. it can be taken apart for cleaning if needed."
• "Seriously, if I had of read further I would have seen them show the handle is only 3 inches wide."
• "Seems well made and sturdy but I am a smallish woman and it hurts my hand to hold it and apply the pressure necessary to cut in butter."
• "Ultimately it’s a well built tool that could use some finishing (smooth those edges), but with a terminally flawed handle design. Both my wife and I have had the same thing happen to us."
• "This is well made, strong and easy to clean kitchen tool, but the handle is short and the metal side bar pinches the skin when using it."
• "If you have large hands you may not be able to use this blender."
• "The handle will spin when applying enough pressure while using. Because of this, my hand has been pinched and sliced by the metal multiple times."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Great product. Fast shipping."
• "I like to bake. I'm now experimenting with making whole-wheat biscuits with flour I milled from Soft White berries. This dough knife is much more convenient to cut the butter into the flour, than using a fork."
• "I made my first pie crust using this tool. The pie crust was very delicious. It made making the crust so much easier."
• "I've tried several different pastry cutters, and I find this one to be the most comfortable I've ever used."
• "Great dough blender! I have owned several but have never had one that worked this well. It is sturdy and well made and also easy to grip."
• "It really and truly cuts in the shortening or butter, not just sort of mashes it either."
• "Cutting my cold butter into the flour was a breeze especially since I had been combining shortening into the flour by hand before and that is messy & can take a while."

Cons:

• "Takes more time than most things to clean other items since ingredients tend to get stuck between the spaces which is to be excepted."
• "The first time I used it for cutting frozen butter into the flour mixture, I was close to cut my hand."
• "It still takes a fair amount of elbow grease to use as I suppose all hand blenders do."
• "Growing up we had a pastry cutter that was essentially a malformed whisk. This is nothing like that. I have used it once so far and sliced my hand up removing dough from the blades: we are to take ‘cutter’ very literally."
• "Good and solid, tines are firm, BUT it is made from chrome-plated steel, not stainless steel as defined in description."
• "Nice size but too short between handle and cutters. Too hard to keep from getting hands covered in whatever you are cutting in."
• "The first time I used the blender one of the blender wires broke."

Customer Service and Brand Trust

Pros:

• "I’ll go out of my way to look for products from Spring Chef in the future!!!"
• "I have several of this company’s products. They are sturdy and work great. Excellent customer service! They care about people."
• "I had an issue with my blender: the black rubber portion of the handle was rotating. I had received an email from the company, asking how I liked my blender, so I replied asking if the rubber on the handle should move. I got a quick response, stating that the rubber on the handle shouldn't move."
• "The product was delivered on time, packaging was in good condition, the product was in good condition and appeared to be as described, and after use met expectations for fit, form, and function."
