So far so good, have only used it once in place of blender, much easier and fewer things to wash. Have not used the wire whip.

I purchased this in May and was very pleased with the performance and style. This morning I went to use it and when I attempted to use it, found water and rust in the internal cavity so feel it is unsanitary to use. I had not abused it, no one else has used it, and I did not immerse it in dishwater or the dishwasher per instructions. Very disappointed – I feel a thirty dollar item should last longer! There are no obvious cracks in the mixer part so don’t know how this happened. I would not buy another one made with plastic. Very disappointed.

I’ve actually bought this product twice- the first time I dropped it and broke the motor end. This means the second time I bought it, I had double the blades and whisks for it. The whisks are still fine, but each of the blade attachments has cracked on the side and everything I blend seeps in and grows mold. It is honestly disgusting, and it happened to both of them after about three months of normal use. Furthermore, on one of the attachments, part of the plastic snapped off into a smoothie I was blending. It would be the perfect immersion blender (right amount of power, low set blade gets all the way to the bottom of whatever you’re working on), unfortunately, the plastic used in this product simply does not hold up well to normal use. I’m getting a new (different brand) one as soon as I can.

This set was quite useful the few times I used it, but it has a major weakness: the plastic of the blender attachment cracks after a few uses. You can still use it, but liquids and pureed food go inside and cannot be washed. Mold can build up inside.

I will look for a sturdier hand blender now.

It works and it was cheap. Next time I would buy a better one. My roommate has a nicer one. I use his.
