Advantages: good looks, nice set of attachments, quality, excellent performance Disadvantages: short power cable, wall holder not too practical
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.
