Advantages: Blend, blitz, whisk on the go - no faffing about

Disadvantages: Cleaning can be an issue but rinse if you're leaving the washing up a while!

This is a must for any kitchen. The hand blender is compact and easily stored and the attachments twist on and off easily. The attachments are easy to clean and the main unit doesn't require cleaning at all. The blending wand is great for making soups as it will cut through any solids and puree up foods without getting jammed and without spraying hot liquid all over you and your kitchen! Another advantage of the hand blender is that you can liquidise hot liquids without having to wait for them to cool so you can use a traditional jug blender - we've all seen/had moments where hot liquid in a blender forces the lid off the top and suddenly soup is everywhere! The main disadvantage is cleaning when soup/cream has dried on the attachment as this makes it hard to get out of the crevices - so rinse after use in any event. The bowl attachment is handy for making breadcrumbs or salsas/sauces because you can make small quantities and get a good result. The speed settings are enough for any purpose.

Summary: get quick effective results with minimal fuss
