A sealed stainless shaft and variable speed make the Quik Stik Plus a capable stick blender for soups, sauces and purees. Its medium duty rating means very large kettles all day ask more than it promises.

Overview
Not a countertop blender with a jar, the Waring Quik Stik Plus is a handheld immersion blender you lower straight into the pot. A sealed stainless steel shaft and blade detach from the motor body for washing, and a speed control varies the motor from gentle to fast.
Blending directly in the cooking vessel saves ladling hot soup into a jar in batches, and the removable shaft goes in the dishwasher between jobs. NSF certification means it meets commercial food service standards. Waring rates it medium duty, so kitchens running huge kettles all shift may outwork it.
Who it's for
Restaurant lines, institutional kitchens and caterers that puree soups, emulsify dressings and smooth sauces in the pot get a corded wand built for daily prep. Home cooks after a compact multi attachment kit should look elsewhere, since only the blender itself is listed.

- Variable speed for emulsions and purees
- Removable shaft is dishwasher safe

- Rated medium duty, not heavy duty

- Box holds only the blender, no attachments
- Limited warranty covers one year
Performance notes
Results depend on how much motor power reaches the blade and on holding the head fully submerged so it pulls food down instead of splashing. Variable speed lets a cook start slow to avoid spatter and ramp up for smooth purees. Shaft length sets how deep a pot it can reach without the motor body touching liquid.
