Smoothies milkshake to puree fruits and veggies are a few examples
ok next dumb question how is this better than a regular blender it seems like more work if we are being honest here
Immersion blenders save space in the kitchen and are generally more portable in the kitchen. Regular blenders are superior in every way.
Hereās the blender I want.

I find that immersion blenders are much easier to clean, and take less work to use than a full-size blender.

In Germany, handheld blenders are very common. I do not know how this is in other countries.
I use my handheld blender e.g. for soups or sauces - therefore I mentioned the cable running from the mains to the pot on the oven - and I think it would be nice to get rid of the cable. So a static blender would be very uncomfortable for such things: you have to poor the soup from the pot into the blender ā¦ and so on.
With the handheld, the soup can stay in the pot, will be blended, then finalized and served ā¦
@ktkundy, depends on the stuff you blend: for the examples I mentioned above like soup and sauces , a handheld is much more comfortable. When you want to make a smoothie for the family with some more ingredients, a stationary one will be better. So it depends very much what you want to do ā¦ I have a stationary one and a hand held one. Mostly I use the handheld one ā¦ We are two persons in the household, that is also a point ā¦
Of course the handheld blender can be used also for other stuff like smoothies or other cold shakes. The advantage: the cup you āblendā in the stuff is also your drinking cup, and the blender is very easy to clean.
And, @Jesse_Hernandez1, there are already a few handheld, battery operated blenders in Germany. They are not huge.
And there are even cars, running by battery ā¦ and they are also ānormal sizeā ā¦

Combining products (PowerCore, hubs, portables, wireless with appropriate PD/IQ/QC ports) into an all-inclusive docking station, ultimate hub would be ultra cool. Like this docking station here with wireless charging and copious ports but also integral power storage too as a portable charger (like the idea that it can be slipped in a pocket/pouch against a device to initiate wireless charge on the go (granted a quick/short cable connection isnāt too hard/inconvenient, so the portability would just be extra nice). Like the Fusions, it could have an integral outlet or alternative C input.
It seems with suggestions above for multiple port hubs, and our love for products like the Fusion and other PD chargers, integrating wireless would be natural (should the power storage permit it vs size requirement - esp if maintaining portability for on-the-go power)
To each his own. Immersion blenders definitely have a place but I think they are more meant for lower volume and thinner liquids.
I only said they would be huge because I assume you would not be able to mix much fluid if they were regular sized (no room for a large battery) and they would be severely underpowered for high demand tasks i.e. crushing ice/mixing ice cream ect. which would probably be fine for the average the consumer. It is important to pick the right tool for the job. Think of it as a handheld rock hammer versus a jackhammer. Sure you could get the job done with a tiny handheld rock hammer but itāll be much more efficient and less time-consuming to use a jackhammer.

Waterproof motorbike Apple MFI USB port
Really would like to see a company like Anker make a quality waterproof Apple MFI USB charger for motorbikes. The market is flooded with cheap Chinese products that only work for a few days and drain the battery when the engine isnāt running.
Iām fairly certain that the main reason the cheap products donāt last is the extremely harsh environment from high frequency vibration and EMF from the engine coils.
Maybe Anker could make something suitable and clean up the market.
It hit me this morning while shavingā¦ If Anker made a quality electric shaver kinda like my Braun Series 7 then please take my credit card as payment NOW! I travel with a Braun Series 5 so something quality like this I would be all over it.

I would love to see them do a mirror dashcam with backup cam and wifi or bluetooth built in to transfer to the phone or a computer. Also would like for them to update the car wireless charger to include a fan. I also want them to start making it possible for their battery packs to charge and charge a device at the same time.
We are talking mostly about dashcam , e.g. in mirror. But what happens behind the car ? In Germany on the highway we have some people who think they can save gas driving in your wind shadow, right behind your car. But then they waste the saved energy by switching on and off the lights ā¦
This would be nice to capture on film. Together with the number plate ā¦
I would like a āpower stripā like the round one or the little cube one that has 45 watt Power Delivery and a rotatable plug. I would like it to be compact and lightweight for travel. The cord would not need to be as heavy as the ones the current products have.
Maybe dual-function as a backup camera? Ģ¶AĢ¶nĢ¶kĢ¶eĢ¶rĢ¶ Roav should make a backup camera stream to a phone app, for when you mount phone to dashboardā¦ Hmmmm.
I would like photography equipment from anker. Both professional to use with a DSLR and amateur that you could use with a phone. This would be great! I really hope anker does this!

Oh thatās coolā¦ never seen that beforeš
@ajsanders2004 totally with you on this one buddy! Iāve been calling for Anker to do this for what seems like an eternity.
Iād love to see Anker make smartphone lenses like what Moment and Sirui have.
Also the little mini battery operated lights that Aputure make would be awesome as well.
Rotatable plugs would be a great feature and would be so helpful
