I bought this product a week ago and I am Over the moon with this purchase! I have not stopped making food with this product it is currently my favourite appliance in the kitchen. I have made the perfect alioli. I have copped onions, garlic, peppers even blended my tomatoes to a perfect clump free sauce my son prefers. This product it absolutely great for milk shakes! I am so happy with this purchase I love this product but I do however love the look of the newer version of this product. I cannot wait to purchase more kitchen aid appliances in the future I definitely recommend this product and the cost of the product is reasonable to boot
