The Braun MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender is incredible! I was given one to test as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. My favorite feature about this hand blender, is that you can easily vary the speed by how hard you hold down the button. This is great for quick adjustments as you go. I've enjoyed pureeing soups, veggies, making pudding and shakes and more with this. I loved that I am able to replace multiple kitchen gadgets with this, and have more space in my cupboards. It is also super easy to clean! Everything except the motor portion (which doesn't get dirty) can go in the dishwasher.
