We recently bought this device for our new home and are loving it. It really makes it easy to prepare any kind of foods, especially our favorites - shakes, fruit smoothies, purée soups, dough for various types of cakes and so on.
The device comes in a pretty big box, inside is a nice plastic tray with all the parts securely placed. Included are the blender device itself, a small and a big container with lids (with non-slip bases, big one has a handle too), a measuring cup with lid, whisk and blender attachments, ice crusher attachment for the big container, wall holder with screws, user manual (quite clear to understand) and other paperwork.
This hand blender has 15 different speeds plus a turbo speed option available with a separate button. It can slice and dice just about anything, from soft fruits to hard ice. The design is good and ergonomic, quality is excellent and all parts fit together perfectly. Performance is top notch, especially with the turbo setting (13000 RPM) and noise is kept under control even at high speeds.
Only downside so far are the white color - have to clean the device often - and the somewhat short power cord. On the plus side again, the cord is very flexible and quite thin, so it doesn't get in way.
The wall holder is basically useless because it only can hold the blender with one attachment in place plus has a slot for the other attachment - no holder is supplied for the power cord, also all the containers have to be stored separately.
Overall, the device is a very good performer for a price that is not too high - we bought it for less than 100€ and it wasn't even on sale.
Advantages: Highly versatile, excellent blender and good grinder Disadvantages: Wears out within a year or two of regular use
We love this, especially the grinder that we use every day for linseed for our cereal. The grinder is great for small amounts but only fill it 1/4 full or it bungs up. All the attachments are handy, though we don't use the veg processor bit much as it doesn't work that well - you would be better off with a bigger machine for that.
The moving interlocking mechanisms are plastic and this is a real failing - they simply wear down and wear out. We're ...

Advantages: Range of speeds, dishwasher safe Disadvantages: Not very sturdy, no spare parts available
Firstly, this blender looks good, and the attachments and speed range are impressive. Also, everything is easily cleaned in the dishwasher, so it's not too fiddly to wash. The blender and whisk attachments work very well.
BUT, parts are not as sturdy and robust as they look. When chopping nuts or hard foods in the chopper bowl it does not perform very well, and feels quite fragile. Also, the blender shaft, although it works very well, does not seem ...
