W-S has an "exclusive" Bamix immersion blender with attachments for $129. For those of you who have one, is this a deal? Regular price is set to be $179. There is also free shipping through March 2.

Darcie,

Apparently nobody knows if that's a real deal or not.

It is cheaper than I bought mine for and they make them here. I LOVE my Bamix. I had a Braun (2 actually) and this thing is like a Braun on steroids. If you get one make sure it has the mini chopper.

I agree, it's a good deal on a VERY good stick blender; I've had mine for several years and love it.

Darcie,

That is the Mono model with a $6.99 beaker added to the normal attachment at no extra cost. $129 is the real suggested retail, while W-S claims $179.

W-S also sells the Gastro 200 which is longer, therefore harder to store. This includes a $12.99 SuperChopper for a cost of $179. The suggested retail with the SuperChopper is $213 while W-S claims $249.

Bargains.

Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes. Every year they have a trade show here and Bamix always has a stand where they do all sorts of Bamix magic, including whipping skim milk. It also does egg whites.

It's an old parlor trick. The skim milk has to be very cold - almost frozen. As it warms up it goes back to liquid. I'm not sure it's really practical.

I am going to try this and will let you know. I make cappucino with skim milk and it foams very well (and keeps the foam). I will let you know how it goes.
