Even though I purchased this hand blender specifically to make mayonnaise (which the whisk does beautifully) I am finding little by little it is becoming useful in many other tasks in my busy kitchen due to the variety of attachments.  The case is nice since I do not seem to find a spare inch in my cabinets and drawers for another tool. I find the power sufficient but I have never owned a stick blender before so do not have anything to compare it to. The only attachment I have not tried yet is the chopper but assume I will be pleased with that also based on other reviews I have read. My only complaint is that the numbers on the speed dial are extremely difficult to read. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
