WOW! This machine is SO much more than I expected! The Power handle is very heavy and sturdy. In turbo mode, you will think you are going to take off. Easily handles frozen berries in a smoothy. The beaker is hard acrylic and large enough for a couple of smoothies or a batch of pancakes. Good for making creamed soups without having to use a blender or burning yourself. Made with stainless steel, not plastic. What a pleasant surprize this purchase was!

I was a little nervous about whether this unit would give me the power that I need because it is of a lower wattage than others I have seen, albeit at higher price points. After using my new Nesco for the last couple of months I have concluded that it is quite capable of handling anything I throw at it. It is well-made and the accessories are of very good quality. I purchased the 2-year extended warranty but I honestly don't think I'll need to use it. I rated the unit four stars because only time will tell how durable it is.

Very nice blender. This thing has a lot of power for it's size - I tried to use it in a drinking glass to mix some protien powder, and it shot half of it out of the glass! It has a lot of nice accessories and options for different applications. We've already used it several times for smoothies, soups, and eggs. Easy to clean and convenient.

This is the first time I have ever owned one of these type hand blenders. It was fast, chopped everything like I want them, accessories are great. Would recommend this product. Very good blender for the price.

I love that this has 5 speeds and is sturdy. The only problem I have is using the "bowl" that comes with it. I couldn't get all the pieces to line up and then tighten the lid. I guess you have to put something in there first to hold everything in alignment, but I mostly use the stick part by itself. I was unable to get all the pieces to line up properly with nothing in the bowl. I was trying to make sure I was using the correct pieces to use the "bowl". The quality far exceeds my last one that lasted less than a year and cost almost twice as much.

This blender met all of my expectations. It is truly a multitasking tool, and the price was 2/3 of similar units that I had priced in stores.

Outstanding product comes with extras that make blending, mixing, etc. a pleasure. The hand-held component is a little on the heavy side but that does not discourage its use. Practice makes perfect. Excellent value for the money.

i always wanted a blender for when i needed it but the regular ones just took up too much space so i never purchased one, until i saw this one. this little thing is very powerful, easy to clean and the handle feels expensive(NOT cheap feeling). So far i have only used to blender part and not the mixer but i same it will be good quality as-well.

This blender is great! Powerful, easy to clean and fills just about every blending need I have. It also comes with a milk frother, so we can have foam on our coffee drinks! It is small but mighty and I love it!

The blender worked better than expected. It's easy to clean and quicker to access than the traditional blender. I found it to be powerful enough to meet my kitchen needs.

Only used the product a few times, appears good and easy to use. Went to the Nesco website for the warrenty and found the blender at ******. Overstock may not always be the best deal.

Product came in a timely manner, well built, and easy to use! I'm quite impressed!
