Answers:
Handheld blenders are best used on the stove actually, to blend and puree hot liquids in the pot they cook in!. You can certainly use a blender, but pouring hot liquids is sort of dangerous!.!.
I have a Back to Basics blender I got at Target - was cheaper than the Magic bullet- and it's great to use for smoothies!. I just find it easier to use than my blender, it's smaller and lighter!.

Honestly, you're right- I've never seen a handheld that wasn't a waste of money!. Regular blenders are easy to clean, just unscrew the bottom and rinse it out!. My mom had a handheld, we used it maybe 2x, we used a food processor instead, it works just as well as a blender!. I knew a friend who had a magic bullet, they are loud!! Seriously, you could hear it a half a block away from her trailer!. Buy a food processor- u get more options w/ your money and can do all the same things as a handheld, magic bullet, or regular blender!. All of them are relatively simple to clean, just make sure u rinse it shortly after use, and u can leave it sit in the sink until the next time you do dishes!.
Good luck!

A 'stick mixer' is better because you can do the pureeing in the pot rather than pour into a blender 'blitz' and then return to the pot to reheat!.

The only thing I have in favour of those small 'bullet type' ones, is that one is good for doing spices!. You don't want to do you coffee beans in the same one!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah if your trying to make smoothies, and you gotta chop up the ice, you would be better off with a blender!. Im thinking that handheld blenders work well for things like eggs in the morning or chocolate milk ect!. they are much quicker to 'get out' and also clean up than the big ol blender!. just buy a blender : )Www@FoodAQ@Com

magic bullet! it's so worth it because u can practically drink rite out of it, easy to clean, because it's just the cup, which u would use neway!.!.!.and the blade!.!.but thats simple!. i got mine and love it!.!.!.i make morning smoothies everyday

handheld blenders are used for other everyday things as suppose to using a whisk, to prevent carpal tunnel, when a blender is way to big for small projectsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I have a Betty Crocker hand blender!. It works as well as the Oster blender I previously had, and whips whip cream as well as smoothies or gravies!.

The magic bullet looks nice and I have a friend who has JCPenney's knock off, and says it works well at less than half the price!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i have the magic bullet and i love it!. most times my regular blender is too big so the bullet is perfectWww@FoodAQ@Com

Hand held blenders are great! Get one and you can use it for many things!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

magic bullet is just great !!!
