I researched hand blenders before purchasing and so glad I did as this was second to the top but not nearly as expensive as the number one product. I AM SO PLEASED. The motor is great and works quietly. The attachments are all high quality and work so easily. The 3 speeds make it more than diverse. I am so happy it cleans up so quickly as the blade is removable. I find it blends very evenly, too, with little food left in chunks. I know it will last for a long time due to its exceptional solid nature and will find it to be one of my best friends in the kitchen. Thank you, Kitchen Aid for producing a super product in 2018.
