I am very very happy with my purchase, the whole thing was a little larger than I thought, but it turned out to be even better, I was affraid it wouldn't chop small quantities very well, but wrong, it even chops a small onion! The blades are very sharp, the mixer works great and the best part is the pad like thing under each bowl, which helps you hold the bowl on its place and not scratch the table while blending or chopping (not that it moves while working with), you can use the pad as a lid for the bowl if you want to, which is a very useful thing. I had a Braun blender 6 years ago which I was very happy with, but this one is the best! I just dont understand why they dont put an on/off button, you have to hold the button all the time you're working, which is not very long by the way! Cause this baby is quick!

I'm really happy with this overall. The only issue is that you have to hand wash the whisk attachment. I put it in the top rack of the Dishwasher after the first time I used it, and the upper housing was full of water when the wash cycle was done. It took a while to shake out all the water, lesson learned. Perhaps if I actually opened the manual, this warning would be in bold red letters, but what's the fun in that!

As far as the hand blender goes, this one seems to be great. I've been using it almost daily for 2 weeks for fruit and vegetable smoothies and it works great. You cannot use ice with this machine, which is kind of a bummer but I freeze my fruit so when I chop it up and throw it in, depending on how much liquid you add (I usually use vanilla soymilk) you can make anything from a creamy smoothie to a sorbet like dessert. Just remember to move the blender up and down and all around, you won't blend anything by leaving it in one spot.
The spin on the blade is so vigorous that it will actually try to suction itself to the bottom of thinner fluids. All in all, this is a great compliment to my kitchen.
The whisk is almost useless to me because of the high power of the motor, and the delicacy of the which. You cannot whisk anything as thick as butter and sugar (so says the instruction manual) and I haven't tried it on any batters because of that warning. I tried...Read more
