Ease of use, sturdiness, versatility were certain parameters we set for this appliance.
1. Blending Ease
Blending ease is a combination of utility and versatility. Utility includes the noise generated and the overheating of the appliance (after a reasonable duration, > 1 minute).
Under versatility, we gauged whether or not this blender can be used for everyday culinary purposes like blending, pureeeing, making soups, smoothies, etc.
2. Product Design
The grip, the buttons, length of the cord, shape and size of the blades and guard, the overall construction were observed here.
3. Features
Does this blender offer speed settings or is there just one? Are there more than one attachments for varying purposes? Did it come with other accessories like jars, cleaners?
4. Other Parameters

Havells Duro 300 Watt Hand Blender – Detailed Review
Price & Packaging
This hand blender was packed in a sturdy carton. Havells Duro 300 Watt Hand Blender price is in the similar price range as contenders, at Rs 2,2285/-.

This draws a power of 300 watts. The wand is detachable, unlike the blades. In our big review, where we tested five brands of hand blenders, Havells Duro Blend S was the least noisy and had the most comfortable grip.
Material
The wand and blades are made of stainless steel. The body, on the other hand, is plastic.
Our Experience
This hand blender was tested in three stages for an unbiased, well-rounded review. The stages were preparing soup, a milkshake, and a tomato puree.
Stage 1
Stage 1 was preparing soup. We took veggies like tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes. Our experience was a fairly convenient one. The blender is quite easy to hold. It generated only minimal noise and the result was a smooth puree.
PS- this was the least noisy among all contenders.
Stage 2
While preparing the milkshake, we added some cubed mangoes with half a glass of milk and half tablespoon of sugar. These ingredients were added to a jar and the contents were pureed for 30 seconds.
Just like the soup, the milkshake was smooth and free of lumps. That said, the relatively larger pieces of fruit did get stuck to the guard.
Stage 3
Stage three was one of the significant contributors to Havells being our Top Pick. Not only did it puree the tomatoes the quickest, but was very powerful and had no pieces stuck between blades or the guard.
Pros
- This is fairly easy to assemble
- It comes with a 2-year warranty
- The instruction manual is easy to understand and detailed
- Light weight appliance
- Four sharp, stainless steel blades
- Decent cord length for convenience
