This is a very handy kitchen gadget. I really like that it works not only as an immersion blender which is great for making puree and soups but also comes with a whisk and chopping bowl as well as a beaker. The whisk makes whipping cream amazingly simple. The chopping bowl made pesto a cinch. The beaker comes in handy when you do not have a very large quanty of liquid to puree. Overall, I am very happy with this and look forward to using it for a long time.
