My first one way free...

...20 years ago when my mom gave it to me. It was hers and she got a better one for Christmas.
It finally passed away last month, so I had to replace it, but wow, what a kitchen tool.

I used it all the time, especially in the autumn when I was making soups and sauces in my crock pot. It blended everything into a beautiful silk.
The blade never dulled or showed signs of rust and cleaning it was a breeze. I just put a bit of hot water and dish soap in the sink and ran it through like I would do with soups, rinsed with hot water, unplugged it and let it air dry.

A must have for every kitchen.

Good

It was inexpensive and so it works well due to that. The 3 button no longer works on mine and I’ve had it a year. Aside from that it’s still really good and nothing wrong
