Product Description
The Buffalo variable speed stick blender is a hand-held immersion blender designed for high-volume food preparation in commercial kitchens. With a 400mm detachable shaft, it allows operators to blend, purée, whip, or emulsify large quantities directly in the cooking vessel — stockpots, bains-marie, or deep containers — without the need to transfer contents to a separate jug blender. At 500W, the motor delivers consistent power suited to sustained use across a busy service period.
In practice, this type of blender earns its place in kitchens where soups, sauces, and purées are produced daily in bulk. The ability to work directly in the pot reduces the time spent decanting and cleaning, which matters when volume and pace are both high. Variable speed control gives operators more precision than a simple on/off blender — useful when finishing a sauce or adjusting texture without over-processing. The shaft removes cleanly for washing, which supports good kitchen hygiene practice.
Key operational advantages include:
- Variable speed dial allows texture control throughout the blending process
- 400mm shaft reaches into deep pots and containers without splashing
- Detachable shaft simplifies cleaning and reduces cross-contamination risk
- Ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use
- Rated for batches up to 100 litres, suiting high-volume sauce and soup production
The blender is straightforward to install — it requires only a standard mains socket and no fixed installation. At 3.9kg, it is light enough to handle comfortably but robust enough for regular daily use. It is worth noting that shaft compatibility changed in July 2022; if you are purchasing a replacement shaft, confirm your unit's purchase date to ensure you order the correct fitting.
This model is well suited to mid-to-large kitchens producing sauces, soups, or purées in volume — catering operations, pub kitchens, care home kitchens, and contract catering environments where throughput is consistent. For lighter occasional use, a lower-powered option may represent better value; for very high-output sites processing continuously across multiple services, a heavier-duty model may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this shaft length and power rating suits your specific operation, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Buffalo 500W stick blender is designed for regular daily use and handles large batch volumes well, making it a practical choice for kitchens producing soups or sauces in volume. That said, if your operation runs the blender almost continuously across a long service — for example, in a high-output production kitchen — a heavier-duty commercial model may offer better long-term durability.
- Yes, shaft length is worth considering before purchase. The 400mm shaft suits most standard stockpots and gastronorm containers used in commercial kitchens, giving enough reach to blend without raising the blender head near the surface. If you regularly work with shallower vessels, a shorter shaft may be more practical; for very deep vats, a longer shaft option may be available — it is worth checking with us if you are unsure.
- Buffalo changed the shaft fitting to a screw-fix design for units purchased from 4 July 2022 onwards. If your blender was purchased before that date, it uses an older shaft design and the newer screw-fit replacements will not be compatible. Check the purchase date of your unit before ordering a replacement shaft, and refer to the spares and accessories tab or contact us if you need help confirming the correct part.
