Default jars are almost always Tritan or other plastic. A stainless container helps; lids and tampers often stay plastic.

How to read verdicts: passes metal/glass primary path (silicone seals OK if disclosed). partial usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids. fails plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick in the normal use path.

Product notes

bamix SwissLine immersion blender

bamix SwissLine Immersion Blender

PASSES

bamix · Model SwissLine / M150 (US 120V)

Why: Maker's materials FAQ discloses immersed food-contact parts as chrome-plated brass shaft, stainless drive shaft, polished aluminium cutter guard, and stainless blades — all metal. Handle body is PA6 nylon but is not the immersed food path. Food-safe shaft lubricant is disclosed; shaft seal elastomer grade is not named beyond food-safe lubricant language (same class of note as elastomer seals on existing rice passes).
