Hamilton Beach HMI016 BigRig 16" Immersion Blender

The BigRig™ immersion blender offers several crucial advantages for foodservice professionals. Its powerful motor (800W for 120V, 1000W for 230V) allows it to efficiently blend, chop, puree, and emulsify large batches of ingredients. Its portability and versatility mean you can create recipes directly in stock pots, reducing the number of containers to wash. The ergonomic design, including a two-position comfort handle and an additional shaft grip, minimizes operator fatigue. Furthermore, the option for continuous run operation facilitates handling high-volume blending tasks quickly.

The BigRig™ incorporates several innovative design elements. It features a unique, patent-pending two-position comfort handle and an ergonomic shaft grip for enhanced maneuverability and reduced strain. The patent-pending ThumbDrive™ variable speed dial includes a color-coded LED system that provides immediate feedback on the blender's status (standby, blending, continuous run) and even warns of potential overheating. Soft-touch controls and a light-touch trigger, along with the continuous run option, offer ease of use. The sealed switches prevent food debris from interfering with operation.

The BigRig™ offers optional accessories to expand its functionality. These include detachable stainless steel blending shafts in various lengths (12-in, 14-in, 16-in, 18-in, and the standard 21-in) which are sold separately and are interchangeable for different batch sizes and container depths. A 10-inch stainless steel whisk attachment (HMI02W) is also available for whipping, mixing, and aerating applications. Additionally, a separate wall mount and cord holder are available for convenient storage.

The BigRig™ comes with a two-year warranty for parts and labor, both within and outside the continental U.S. For customers within the U.S., an Express Care Warranty provides replacement parts or even a complete unit dispatched quickly if phone or email troubleshooting cannot resolve an issue within the first two years. Outside the U.S., a Global Care Warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for two years. Hamilton Beach Commercial also provides a worldwide network of service centers for ongoing support.

The BigRig™ immersion blender is designed for a wide range of foodservice applications. Its powerful motor and stainless steel blade can efficiently handle tasks such as blending soups, sauces, salsas, and salad dressings. It is also suitable for chopping vegetables, pureeing fruits and vegetables, emulsifying liquids like mayonnaise, and mixing batters when used with the optional whisk attachment. Its ability to process large batches directly in pots makes it ideal for high-volume commercial kitchens.
