What is it supposed to do?
Pretty much everything a food processor, mixer and blender could do. It chops, whisks, purees and blends.
It makes light work of creaming, pureeing and finely chopping pretty much everything. I've tried onions, nuts, soup and even raw vegetables and it chopped or pureed them all. Mine does a decent job of whisking but to be honest, I prefer to use a double hand held whisk just as it is slightly more powerful. I'm sure one of the newer varieties would do a better job through (mine is a model 1 and the new, basic one is a model 3). I normally use it in whatever bowl or pan I'm cooking in so it saves on washing up. To clean, you twist the bottom section off and pop it in the dishwasher or rinse it in the sink. The attachments clean easily so no scrubbing is required.
