IMHO you'd be better off with a liquidiser. I use one like the following and it's far more powerful, quicker and all-round better than any hand blender I've tried. This one is designed for attachment to a base mixer unit. Freestanding models are readily available.

I use a free standing blender and it is quicker, i can have a big batch of base blended smooth in minutes, its even better if I blend it when still hot.

Yes, a free standing "blender", or any "liquidiser" is basically two different words for the same type of appliance.
