Perfect blender for simple, small or even not so small jobs. We make a lot of bluberry, banana nut, or zucchini carrot muffins to have a snacks. This blender has served us well thus far. Scrambles large quantities of eggs in a jiffy for omlettes for weekend brunch casseroles. 5 speeds and all the necessary tool options to get your mixing or kneeding job done, all of which can be stored in the  storage container which isn't bulkly at all. The blender is light weight so there's no strain when using. Have used several times weekly for past two months. No issues. My banana nut muffins were airy and totally delish!
