SwissLine M200

I've got a bamix immersion blender, it has a disc attachment for flash blending. I think using the blade will just turn it into a slushie. Fine for Pina coladas and the like but not so great for tiki cocktails

Just look at the shape of it, the shape of the blade cover. You can get a 20eur blender that looks the same. Bamix open construction allows for better immersion. No whisk disk. No emulsion disc, no mini blender. Your Bamix has this beat by a mile.

You're totally right, though half the reason I wanted an immersion blender is so that I have the option of not whippibg things manually, so it's a bummer that a Bamix gets outperformed by cheapo ones in this regard just because those come with an actual wire whisk attachment.

We've always used knives or the herb and spice attachment for the bamix immersion blenders at school and at work, or robot coupes for larger batches, basically just the chopper part of a food processor. At home I usually just get dried herbs or chop by hand, never felt the need for something else, b
