This blender has some heft to it, Also has plenty of power for whatever sauce i'm blending. You need two hands to comfortably handle it's weight. The blade is very sharp in one direction so be careful when cleaning it!
Very Heavy duty hand blender, make my own garlic butter with it , I've been buying cheap ones under $40 and was wondering why they weren't working so we'll, spend the extra cash and just buy this one it's well worth the money,
