This hand blender is powerful! We bought it to use at the kitchen where we prepare a free weekly community meal. We feed 150 - 200 people every Thursday evening. This blender has already made our jobs easier. A great value and money well spent!
The unit is definitely heavy duty, I like the fact that it is totally rebuild-able. Be aware that it is over 5 lbs. and the operating controls take a little to get comfortable with.
