Mostly use the Immersion Blender which is super useful!  Use it to make smoothie daily and it's super strong and super fast.  The consistency of the smoothies is great!  Very easy to wash, very portable.  Have used the Hand Mixer a few times for cookies, mainly.  It's super strong, works great, easy to clean.  If you're looking for something to make smoothies fast and simple, this Hand Mixer is great!
