This Braun MultiQuick 5 Vario Hand Blender with 21 speeds, whisk, and chopper is amazing.  I didn't think that I wanted or even needed another gadget in the kitchen, and now I'm not sure how I got along without it.  It's very easy to maneuver and very easy to change different adapters.  I love that it helps me save time in the kitchen and it's such easy clean up and I absolutely love the different speeds.  I definitely recommend it for yourself or as a gift!
