Did my research, bought this one
I absolutely hate dragging out large appliances to use for simple tasks, then having to clean up and put away again. This immersion blender has changed the way I do things in my kitchen. It is very powerful and can handle just about any job. Cleans up FAST, which is a big plus in my opinion. Simple to use, but depending on what I'm mixing, it may or may not take both hands just because it is so powerful. But it's limited to fairly simple things like blending. I don't use this for making bread dough or chopping up things. That's not what it's designed for. I use it for soups, sauces, blending thin batters like pancake/waffle mix, etc. But for those things, it beats doing it by hand or pulling out the big mixer or blender...which I then have to clean up. For small jobs, it's my go-to kitchen tool.
