Especially now that the weather is starting to cool down, it was so exciting for me to receive my very first immersion blender and devices. I LOVE making soups, but I've always dreading using the blender to puree them. So far, this immersion blender has helped me make butternut squash and spicy cheese soups with such ease. I love using the food chopper, and everything in this kit is so simple to clean! Also, I'm really into fitness, and it's great to be able to make protein smoothies right in the measuring cup that comes with this kit. A quick recommendation: Invest in cheap cubette ice trays to help the immersion blender break down the ice. I really don't know how I ever lived without an immersion blender, and I thank Wayfair for offering it at such affordable prices.
