Two deals on immersion blenders

I get at least three requests a week about finding a good deal on an immersion blender.  You guys must be making a whole lot of soup!  Anyway, I'll offer up two deals.  The first is the absolute rock-bottomest cheapest price I could find on a name brand immersion blender.   The second is slightly more but it is the one I recommend.

This Procter Silex immersion blender (model #59738) is $15.90 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping on Amazon.  It's a great basic appliance, two speeds, half the price of the uber-expensive Cuisinart SmartStick, and works fine.  The one major drawback that I see to this is that it does not have a removable end that goes in the dishwasher.  This is the immersion blender that I use for Pesach, when I can't use my dishwasher anyway.  


Walmart has this Hamilton Beach 2-speed hand blender (model #59762) for $19.94 with free store pickup (to avoid the $4.97 shipping charge).  What's the difference between this immersion blender and the other one, besides $4.04?  The two removable dishwasher-safe attachments.  And yes, I think the fact that these attachments can go right into your dishwasher is well worth the extra $4.04.  Frugal as I am, sometimes convenience is worth a few extra dollars.
