The Multiquick 9 Hand Blender comes with so many attachments and options it's a little confusing.  The basic hand blender has two attachments that are most likely to be used; the heavy duty bender and the plastic masher.  I used the masher on cooked apples to make applesauce and it worked great without splashing all over.  Since the blender has a cord, you don't have to wait for it to charge but you do have to be careful to keep the cord out of the way.  It's a handy gadget that is easier to grab than a blender.
