Bought it last Christmas & couldn't even last a year. Bought it mainly for the whisk, hardly ever used the blades. Was my perfect appliance but unfortunately whisk has failed me. Motor runs but whisk doesnt turn. My first & quite possibly my last...

Doesn't feel cheap It has a sturdy grip as well as being powerful and blends soups in less than a minute to a fine puree. This stick mixer does a better job than a bamix and is priced well in the market compared to its competitors. Super easy to clean.
