I have bought many of these. The mixer is wonderful for salad dressing and eggs and any light duty mixing.

I give these as gifts and everyone always says how much they love them.

It comes with a great little salad dressing book. Cruet is marked for no fuss measuring.

After 5 or so years of using this for scrampled eggs and other things the plastic propellers broke. If I could have found a replacement part, it would have lasted for another five years.

Well worth it.

Several years ago I purchased this product and loved it. Upon a recent move I could not locate the mixer part and ordered another one. I liked it so much that I purchased one for my sister as well. I was very disappointed when I used my new one and it was not at all the same as the original one I had. They changed the way it turns on it use to have a button that you pressed at the very top now you have to apply pressure and push the entire handle down on the dressing bottle. This doesn't allow you to use this product on any other container except the one it comes with. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the stem doesn't reach the bottom of the salad dressing bottle so it can't stir up the seasonings that fall below it. The old one was longer! I called BonJour and was told that, yes, they did re-design the product. Needless to say this is now a useless product and returned them. Bonjour, contact me if you go back to the original design and I will buy them again. What made you change it in the first place????

I researched this little mixer on the WWW and a number of folks loved it but didn't like the seal of the plug on the decanter. It doesn't feel like it is secure when you put it on. I mixed up a batch of balsamic vinegarette in it and put it in the fridge. Later I knocked it off the top shelf while reaching for something else. Caught the darn thing as it was falling, upside down, and the lid stayed on, didn't spill a drop. Later my friend couldn't believe the story, so she turned the container upside down (over the sink, thankfully!) and the plug stayed firm, again. I love this little mixer. Great for salad dressings, and great for beating up eggs for omelets!

Honest reviews on BonJour Salad Chef Salad Dressing Maker with Automatic Battery

It's a real bummer when a product maker changes it, just to change it, and makes a wonderful gadget a bit more annoying to use. The previous model of this salad mixer had two key improvements:

1) The mixer portion could detach. This made it much much easier to clean since you could just pop off the mixer portion to clean.

2) Activating it used to be on the top, this made it easy to turn on then whip the contents around. Now you have to push down with a pretty hefty force which makes it awkward to rotate around the inside to get a good mix.

I consider these fairly large steps backwards (It probably made it cheaper to manufacture?), so while I thought the prior model was a 5-star, the current model is just a 2-star.

The mixer does not reach far enough down to mix a small amount and is not strong enough to blend anything thicker than a very watery mixture. One reviewer stated that the mixer doesn't detach but mine does, the mixer shaft comes right out of the motor housing if I pull it. It's nice looking and easy to add ingredients because the top of the cruet is plenty wide so it does have that going for it. The printed recipes, both in the booklet and on the cruet, are microscopic so unless you have nice young sharp vision you'll have a very difficult time reading them. I scanned some of the recipes from the booklet and then enlarged and printed them but there's no help for trying to read the ones printed on the cruet. I was excited about this item when I first opened up the box and saw it but after using it half a dozen times I have to say it's not all that great.
