I bought this a few weeks ago and i am so glad i did.. I love this hand blender. Its so easy to use!  found the hand blender to be a great addition to the kitchen! its really simple and comes with a cover that you can use when blending in a pot. I have been able to blend both hot and warm items.. It very easy to clean.  It is a very great quality. Love the design of it. It works very good and its very quite. I highly recommend this hand blender.
