This is a surprisingly powerful tool in a compact package! I love using immersion blenders for soups but this has multiple tools that I can use for all sorts of things, even baking. I appreciate that each attachment has their own features that make them a bit special. The immersion blender attachment has a nice guard that prevents the blades from scratching anything and the mixer attachment has differently designed whisks that whip up or mix more quickly and thoroughly. I also love that it is one power base for two things - fewer things to take up space in my kitchen! Would definitely recommend!
