I'm happy to write this review since I love shakes so this is the best hand blender that I have purchased by far. It has a soft grip handle which is nice. It also came with a measuring pitcher so I can measure my ingredients before blending it. Now I did try this to make some homemade spagetti sauce also and yes it works great. It will whip a egg up fast. This is great to also make frappuccinos. If you buy this you will not be upset. I will only be purchasing this brand for now on. I like how heavy duty it is so the battery will last you a long time for big meal projects. I would recommend to every chef or home cook. I have already told family about this!
