- I have a Braun. At the time I bought it it was the only one on the market,
- which means I've had it for a while. I think it's great. If I used it for

- purchase. Other uses I've had for it: Making smothies (frozen bannanas (sliced),
- frozen berries, and apple juice), creaming (pureeing?) homemade split pea soup.

- Never tried whisking with it.
