I was given this hand blender to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It’s now my go-to immersion blender. I make soups often, and this makes blenderizing them a breeze. I was surprised that it had a way to control the speed by how hard you push the button - definitely a nice feature. 

So far, it’s been easy to clean. I always rinse it out right after using it so nothing gets stuck in it, and I’ve wiped down the part that plugs in to the wall with a damp washcloth. 

I’ve used it to make a few different soups and sauces, as well as whipping cream with the whisk attachment. I can’t think of anything I’d change about it, honestly. It works just as it should.
