Thanks for the replies but I'm talking about something like this (can't post links yet, but if you go to amazon and type emulsion blender, the 2nd, 8th, and 12th down.)
Something I can throw Ice, whole fruits/veggies, etc into and know it won't break and that it will blend them adequately.
It can be confusing, though. When you type 'emulsion blender' into Amazon, Immersion blender is the first thing that comes up haha
