I bought this set a year ago, it came with no bowl. It still works without any problems. If something dense to blender, the handle is warm, but without odor. Very conveniently invented in one device blender, and mixer that takes up very little space in the kitchen, all compactly put together in a box. I cook mostly sweets, the whisk whips the cream well as it has enough power. I also sometimes blend meat, it does a good job too. Before the review I made banana muffins, they turned out tender, photo attached. Works very quietly. Safe to use.   I recommend to everyone who has little space in the kitchen, very easy to use.
