A wand mixer having a wand assembly that is detachable from the motor assembly as a single unit. The wand assembly includes a drive shaft that is enclosed within a tubular housing having a seal at the lower end for preventing entry of fluids and debris. First and second bearings at the ends of the tubular housing support both ends of the shaft so as to prevent deformation and damage of the seal when the wand assembly is removed from the motor assembly for cleaning. The wand assembly mounts to the motor assembly using a bayonet-type connection, and the motor and drive shafts are interconnected by an externally splined member that is received axially in an internally splined sleeve. The wand assembly can therefore be removed or mounted to the motor assembly by a convenient, manual turning and axial movement of the components.
