Good – 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. 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. 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.
