This little handheld blender/chopper/mixer is absolutely the best one I've ever used. The controls are easy to use, which allows me to choose different speeds for different purposes. If I don't want it to chop my food too finely, the slower speed does a great job without mixing everything into soup. Otherwise, the turbo boos speed can liquify anything. The motor is butter smooth. It just feels better made and superior. I've never had any issues with food being stuck on the sides of the containers. Lastly, cleanup is easy with this particular model. There aren't too many nooks and crannies for foods to get stuck or dried into.
