I previously had a 10-year-old hand blender. It was white and basically could do the job. When I got this hand blender it was clear right out of the box that this was superior. The tool  feels very solid. I love that NONE of the parts are white because they won't stain when I use it with tomatoes. This blender does an amazing job of blending/chopping up things in a pot to turn them into a smooth sauce. My old blender also would create suction that would result in splatter. Magically this blender doesn't do that, and still does an amazing job. There are so many options for this hand blender that I do not have to put it away for the occasional use. This blender could be used every time you cook.

Anyone that cooks will love this blender!!!!
