Wolfgang Puck Bistro Immersion Blender

The Wolfgang Puck Bistro Immersion Blender/Chopper was purchased from smartbargains.com.I purchased this item after watching a demonstration on a shopping channel showing all the benefits of the immersion/blender chopper.The blender comes in a nice storage box which holds the Motor base, blending rod, attachment removal tool, blades and discs.The blender/chopper also comes a stand, mixing beaker, chopping bowl with a cover and blade.The unit works very well.I have used it to make smoothies with ease, I have made slushies with it using ice and koolaid and maxed potatoes.I have not had much success with the chopping bowl.I add my items and use the base but I never get a good enough speed to blend or chop any items so the chopping bowl does me no good.The clean up of the item is very quick.I usually fill the beaker with water and a little dish liquid and run it for a minute or two and the item is clean.I like this little item and would purchase it as a gift for someone.
