Comments

A top scoring ease of use ergonomically shaped blender that is very comfortable to use, especially when whisking. Excellent for milk shakes, mayonnaise and batters.  Very good for whisking cream, egg whites and pureeing soup.  Brushed finished on handle does not show fingerprints and accessories (except for lid) can be put in dishwasher.  Can be wall mounted.  The only drawback is it cannot crush ice.

This retro styled blender was very good for milkshakes, batter, soup, chopping parsley, hazelnuts and whisking.  The supplied accessories are very well made, sturdy and dishwasher safe except for the processor bowl and lid.  Instructions are well laid out and very clear.   Chrome finish shows fingerprints.

Comments

Good for milk shakes, mixing and whisking.  The chunky lightweight plastic blender shaft and all accessories were dishwasher safe.   The on button required pressure to press and there was some vibration which caused discomfort when pureeing soup and whisking cream.
