I am so happy that I got this handblender, it has been a lifesaver for me. I have a small kitchen, and I don't have much space for storage, and still there are a lot of kitchen tools that I need because I love cooking and trying new things. This handblender works perfectly for me; it is just the perfect size and the different parts that come with it are great. I can blend, mash, chop and whisk all with the same tool without needing anything else. The handle has different speeds according to what you need to do.
