I bought this to have a stick blender to make mirror glaze for a cake. That turned out really well.I love the KitchenAid mixer I have had for 35 years. My food processor died suddenly so I used the meat chopping attachment. I was making a mousse and used the whisk attachment. This is turning out to be much more useful than I expected. Being able to purchase an extended warranty was also a plus in case anything does happen. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
