We have owned two separate Bosch MSM6700GB hand blenders recently and found them to be excellent bits of kit. The broad range of accessories, performance and ease of use certainly make this a very practical and useful kitchen accessory.

With this tool you can mix and break up almost anything and the potential of this mixer is not far from many full size food processors. The ability to mix products in the accompanying vessels as well as anything else with the hand blender. The buttons and the overall finish of the blender are of extremely good quality far surpassing that of many other models.

The downside of this blender is the large number of small components which all need to be disassembled for cleaning. With very many small white/transluscent parts which are all necessary for the blender's performance, losing one of these is very easy and that is exactly what we did on not one, but two occasions, causing us to buy a whole replacement mixer the first time as we were not able to buy the replacement 1 cent bit of plastic on its own. The second time round, we decided that it was time to upgrade and purchased a Food Processor.

Despite this, we still believe that this is far and away the best hand blender on the market.
