I have been looking for a smaller immersion blender to help me with a variety of prep work in my kitchen. I have a much larger one that I use for my large batches of homemade spaghetti sauce. These save me a lot of clean up time by not having to transfer my ingredients to a blender, or another container, just to puree my ingredients. I love that the blade componen can be detached and cleaned.
I don't have a lot of gadgets in my kitchen taking up space. So this immersion blender is a tool I can definitely say has earned it's spot in my pantry.
