I have never tried an immersions blender but I am so impressed!! I love all the different attachments that it came with and can’t wait to get some more! I couldn’t get it out of the box fast enough to test it out. This immersion blender does not disappoint at all! It makes some noise but I barely even notice the noise when using it because it doesn’t make very much noise at all. I love all the attachments but my favorite would have to be the whisk because it feels so much better than hand whisking all the time! I honestly think everyone needs to try an immersion blender!
