I used to own a braun hand held mixer years ago, but NOW it comes with so many cool attachments, I can do almost anything with this cool tool! Not only can puree food for grandkids, I can chop veggies at Dinner, mix my heavy cream base for my sauces, gravies and soups, make smoothies , mix mashed potatoes.....and save so much prep time in the kitchen! The quality is great, well made and can stand the test of time. This is a life saver and your sign to get you one. You wont be disappointed!!
