Jeez, Fascinating, So this motor is 146kw more powerful than my trusty Lidl stick blender, Nice to know.
Fried, the OP was looking for an alternative to using his stick blender.
Maybe you should RTFP before adding your usual drivel.

The drivel is yours. How good at maths when you were at school? The number you quoted is a thousand times out.

what's the verdict with the mixer grinders...?

indian type mixer grinder with 500-750w

or high powered bar blender.

the only concern i have with a bar blender is it might not be as good for small quantities.

I had an idea for this, for and when i eventually get myself a high powered blender.
Cut and shape a thick piece of wood or EVA foam (from a swimming float) to fit horizontally inside the blender just above the blades.  And attach a handle.

My kids got me the super-g after I saw it on the Rick Stein series. I use it all the time and it copes perfectly with everything asked of it. Makes the best garlic/ginger paste of all the gadgets I own
