Advantages: easy to clean, good qulaity

Disadvantages: capacity of container relatively small

I have had one of these for about 3 years and use it frequently, most days at the moment as it is great for breakfast smoothies.

I have mainly used the hand blender type attachemnt (for blending soup) and the container with the blades for smoothies, houmous, pesto and grinding chickpeas for falafel (among other things).

I;ve used the whisk once or twice but that part is a bit pointless for me as it is less hassle to just use a hand whisk, IMHO.

The blender is extremely quick and easy to clean and does anything I have needed it to, including nuts, oats and soaked but unboiled chickpeas.

My only criticism is of the size of the plastic container part with the blades - it could do with being twice the size at least. It is fine for making a smoothie for one person but not quite big enough for two if you both like reasonable sized smoothies.

At around £60 it is relatively expensive for what it is but in my opinion is well worth it as it does what it does extremely well and is easy to keep clean.

Summary: excellent, does the job perfectly and easy to clean
