I've been really impressed with this blender so far! I definitely prefer it over my older model - it seems to perform better, is quieter, and the one touch button is so easy to use. I've used to to make several soups, to chop/prep mixes, and even to blend different oils. 

I really like the fact that each component clicks into place so you know it's secure and it's very easy to change out parts when you are using more than one in a single session. Almost everything can be cleaned in the dishwasher too, so that's always a plus for me! 

My one small complaint is I wish the cup for the blending/chopping component was just slightly larger. I find myself having to use my larger food processor for some recipes when it would be much handier to have an extra half a cup size in this tool. 

Overall I am highly impressed! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this hand blender.
