Monday Giveaway: Bosch Mixxo (CLOSED)

by

{The Bosch winner is Deb Anderson! She said, “Wow, this little gadget is powerful enough to crush ice!! So my first thought is to use it for making drinks like frozen margaritas… er, I mean fruit smoothies. :) I love making cheese dip with diced tomatoes and green chilies, but I find that even diced the pieces are sometimes too big. This would be ideal for getting the ingredients just the way I want them without the bother of dragging out that humongous food processor.”

The runner up is Dacia, who said, “I visited their site and I love Bosch. I would use the Bosch for milkshakes and a million other things!”

One reader will win the Bosch Mixxo immersion blender! ($129)

MY REVIEW

bosch mixxo immersion blender

An immersion blender is a small kitchen appliance I use all the time – for canning and making jams and applesauce and for everyday meals like spaghetti sauce and beans.

I got to try out the Bosch Mixxo, a cordless immersion blender, and it is so easy to use and gives me great results. I made that delicious tomato cream sauce picture above for our pasta last week and I usually leave the tomatoes and onions in chunks, but this time I decided to try making it even more creamy and delicious with the Mixxo. The blended version of this already fabulous pasta sauce  is the way of the future!

The Mixxo is a great immersion blender for lots of reasons. For starters, it’s cordless. That makes it so much easier to use and easier to clean. The blade detaches from the motor/handle section so you don’t have to worry about getting water where it shouldn’t be, which means you can actually get it clean!

The Mixxo is also powerful enough to blend to a smooth and creamy texture. It has a good battery life and when it is charging time, the charger can be mounted on the wall to save space or rest on your counter.

This stick/immersion blender also comes with a clear plastic mixing beater, great for smoothies, milkshakes, sauces, and more. It also comes with a mini chopper (works just like a food process, just smaller) that is perfect for making salsa or just chopping up vegetables for your main dish.

As always, Bosch makes some of the highest quality kitchen appliances available. Their customer service is great and their products last. Thanks, Bosch!

  1. Hi, just got back from Bosch, now I’m entering. I’d so use that to puree my strawberries, since we had to pick them before the freeze (in Florida?!?!?) hit and now I have oodles of berries that I need to make puree with and freeze – this time in MY freezer! LOL and I’d use them for my healthy shakes, and (gasp) gravies! Ooooh I’d have so many uses!!!

  51. I would totally use the Mixxo for milkshakes first-hands down! Those are a love in our home, but the blender just doesn’t make them the way we like all the time-I’m thinking this gadget would do the trick!! :)
    Thanks for the chance to win something so fun

  116. I would use this to make crockpot applesauce. My little ones love it and it’s so much better than store bought. The immersion stick would make it so easy to blend!

  120. I would love to win this because I have an “old” handheld that has seen better days. The first thing I would make would be my smoothies. I use to make them all the time and got out of the habit but they are a great low calorie snack at night.

  128. My cheap Walmart mini chopper has finally bit the dust, so I would love to try out the chopper attachment to chop nuts for cookies!

  137. I have been on the hunt for a mini chopper and a good quality immersion blender. Both of mine tanked! If it’s Bosch, it’s bound to be great! I am dying to puree some cashews into butter and make delicious cashew caramel cookies. Yum!

  141. I blend all of the tomatoes I use in cooking – it stops the “gag” reflex that happens with the children – lol. I currently use a blender having a mixxo I could use in the same pan I am cooking with would be so much quicker for both prep and clean up.

  153. I got your newletter and I would make salsa first I think. I get a jar a week for my fmaily so it would be so useful. There really are so many things you could make with it. Great giveaway.

  154. With this in my office, I could take home the blender, mixer, food processor, and not have to wonder why stuff spatters when you use a wisk. Thanks. Susan

  155. I’d definitely use it to make a Pumpkin smash smoothie! Haven’t had one since Jamba Juice quit offering them for the holidays :)

  157. I might use it first to make milkshakes. My mom had an immersion blender while we were growing up and my dad made delicious milkshakes for us on occasion as a special treat.

  160. Went to Bosch and loved what I saw. I have 5 kids all with thier own likes and dislikes of foods. For instance my 5 & 6 year olds won’t eat carrots wether cooked or not, sugared or not. But they love the carrot baby foods. My daughter is a chef in the making. She loves trying new food, eating and cooking. This gorgeous blender would never rest. ;-)

  163. OMG, I can see so many great uses for this wonderful all-in-one kitchen appliance from Bosch. Slicing & dicing are a pet peeve of mine but that’s what makes so many things good such as soups, smoothies, applesauce, salsa, jalapeno jelly, salads, milkshakes and on and on. Would love to win this as just told my husband the other day I need a good chopper. Thanks for the chance!

  191. I would love to use the mixxo to puree some of my favorite soups- like baked potato or asparagus. What a fabulous giveaway!!!!

  205. I could use this for so many things… puree food for my sweet great Niece, make milk shakes and smoothies for me and my Grandsons, blending veggies into spaghetti sauce, etc so the boys don’t realize they are eatiting veggies.

    Thanks for the chance to win.
