This is the fourth Kitchen Aid appliance I have purchased, Since Black Friday last year. Every one has performed up to and sometimes exceeding expectations. We use this primarily for soups and smoothies, unlike our previous stick blenders, this device does not get clogged with unblended ingredients.

I bought this hand blender to replace a cheaper brand and there was a huge difference between both brands in function and appearance. Needless to say the Kitchen Aid item came out on top. I have gradually replaced other appliances for Kitchen Aid and although they are more expensive they are well worth the price.

Really happy with this blender. Solid, well built with supreme performance, highly recommended!

it's awesome - very powerful and quiet. The soup was so smooth like never before!
