I love this blender. This is my second one actually. The first I was disappointed with because the cup that comes with it to blend everything in broke upon first use so I wasn’t able to use it properly but it was still great. So having the cup now has made a huge difference - that piece is kind of important. This handheld blender is powerful and can really blend things very smooth. I’ve used it to make purees, soups, smoothies, milkshakes, sauces. This new one that I got comes with a pan protector which my old one did not come with. This attachment is so cool. You just attach it to the blade and avoid scuffing your pan or bowl. It comes in so many beautiful colors. I have the red and it’s gorgeous. It cleans easily and barely takes up any space to store.
