The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender works perfectly for making smoothies and milk shakes! I like that it came with its own cup and I can’t wait to use it to purée my tomatoes for my homemade spaghetti sauce. It cleans up easily and is small enough I can store it without taking up a lot of space. I would definitely recommend this blender to anyone who wants a blender that isn’t going to take up a lot of space.
