I have so many appliances on my counter and in my cabinet and this hand blender is going to replace A LOT of them. I made my toddler smoothies every morning and this is so much easier than a giant blender on the counter. I can use this easier than my hand mixer which is so heavy. I have been chopping veggies in it and it’s amazing. I am still finding new things to do with it to make my life easier. Two thumbs up.
