Undervalued option for a hand blender: A power drill with a blender attachment, it'll easily beat any store bought immersion blender when it comes to reliability.

Of course you might end up wishing for crappy plastic gears over something with enough torque to shear a finger off...

In this case, the power drill actually has a torque limit feature (normally used for putting in screws, without stripping them). If the blender attachment gets stuck, the drill "cams out" and does not get damaged at all, unlike plastic gears.
