This Braun MultiQuick 5 Vario Hand Blender with 21 Speeds is a great small kitchen gadget for anyone who loves to be in the kitchen. You can whisk, puree and chop all with one tool. You just easy click in which accessory you want to do the job. It also has a special splash control technology so it's less likely to splash anything out when preparing large quantities in a pot. 
I actually used the chopper attachment to chop  tomatoes from our garden to make salsa. It make the process so much easier and clean up was a breeze. I can't wait til this winter when I will be making homemade soup and will use the puree attachment to puree the broccoli soup. 
I actually think this small but yet amazing and powerful kitchen gadget is a must for all households. The possibilities are endless with it!
