Pros: I bought this from Target many years ago because I didnt have a small mixer at home and it was on sale. It works well for making smoothies and for mashing cooked veggies for soups.
Cons: It isnt for the really hard tough grinding, just simple mixing and its okay to use. I have to be careful when I am making a smoothie with it because if I take it out of the bowl or hold it a bit above the mixture, it splatters all over me.
Overall: This is a simple and very small kitchen aide. I dont expect it to do miracles and its worked great for making smoothies and for mashing my cooked veggies for my soups. I dont use it for anything else. Its easy to clean and super simple to use, probably because it really doesnt have a lot of functions. I only bought it because its Braun and because it was on sale and it was a good buy for the kitchen.
Cons: Low-power and cannot take too much blending, especially if it is too sticky.
Overall: I need to update my previous review of this product as mine overheated and smoke came out, so I replaced it. Not to say that the product is bad, it has lasted for years (blending soups, nuts, bread crumbs) but I didn't use it that often. I bought another product after this and then realised how weak this blender was in comparison. It actually didn't break but it overheated and started emitting smoke while I was blending a meat mixture, so if you are thinking to buy this one/or already use it, make sure not to do what I did! It just hasn't got the power to blend sticky things. It's fine for other uses I mentioned.
Pros: Good for the occasional use. Does its job properly. Chopper is good for herbs, nuts, breadcrumbs. Shaft is useful for making fruit juice. Compact, easy to store.
Cons: Easily splatters when blending semi-liquid soups with hard vegies in it. Scrapes on the bottom of the pan (so I fear it would scratch). Chopper--veggies not recommended as the result is uneven or too mushy (over done).
Overall: Not a bad product at all. I have used it for at least 3 or 4 years, and I have not had any problems. I am lazy and do not like the troublesome cleaning after using this product so I only use it occasionally. Not only are parts not dishwasher-proof, most of them cannot even be wet! That being said, it's only a hand-held blender, so I think it deserves some praise for lasting so long.
Pros: it's easy to use and good for blending small cup of juice and herbs.
Cons: it's just capable to blend small/ minor ingredients. You need a big blender for complicated stuffs.Messy when blending.
Overall: Price is ok. If you need a quick and easy blender for small volume. this would be the one to consider. Bear in mind that you might need to clean your kitchen after using it as depends on what jug/ bowl you are using when you use this blender.
Pros: handy for quick mixing and grinding does not take up much space
Cons: not as good as the larger food processor for a lot of jobs
Overall: overall it is handy to have in the drawer for smaller bits and pieces saves pulling out the large food processor for what you pay it does a great job
