My husband is a good cook and likes to be very efficient in the kitchen – any tool or appliance that is not used at least twice a year does not warrant space in his kitchen. This hand blender has allowed him to replace his mini Cuisinart food processor and his handheld immersion blender. Using it to do a quick chop on food is super easy and quick, and easier to clean up as well. We haven't used it as a whisk yet, but if that works as well as the other functions, we'll probably replace our electric hand mixer as well!
