I have lost part of the use of my dominant hand and chopping is where I experience the most frustration. The multi-use features are great and it is easy to use, clean and store! No more putting off a recipe because I have to cut veggies. Love using it for my smoothie prep too!Although I haven't put much mileage on it yet, the unit appearsto be built better than expected. Features are very good andthe battery seems to be powerful. A lot of bang for the buckwhich is hard to find these days in a Dirty Joe America!Blender seems ok so far,..just got it. Instructions far from complete...had to guess about operation. I did figure out how to operate on/off, where charger plugs-in, etc. It's clear little booklet is not written by English first language person.Battery life is super long and super quiet. The blender works so well that it grinds meat so I can make egg rolls. But, the immersion stick is just good for blending only liquids and doesn’t blend any sort of cooked solids#1 This is not a food processor.#2 it's battery powered by lithium. Batteries should and do have overheating and overcharging circuits. This means full power is only available intermittently. If your looking for a cordless stick blender to quickly chop onions,celery, boiled eggs and other thing that aren't to hard or stiff and you don't want to dig out the corded tool. Then you will find this very handy. I use this item to manly whip or mix stuff. So if you just need a cordless stick blender for a quick undemanding job or you don't have an outlet near by. Then this might fit the bill.I easy to cleaneasy to use. wand doesn't have to power Id like though.This is a well-designed product. This blender and its ingenious accessories clearly have a lot of attention to detail. This blender has plenty of power, charges well and works great. I have used this blender 3 times a day for the past week and so far I have tried all the attachments without any complaints. I ordered the white one and I am very happy with the choice. The blender looks, feels and works a lot more premium than it shows.
