I just got my machine two days ago. It's my first Blender, so I can not compare them. HOWEVER, I read on some comments That You Can Use it full speed and it does not wander. I just made my first bread dough today and the Machine WHAT wandering, so I had to hold onto it. This should be known for safety. However, de bread mix perfectly and it did what no problem if getting off the hook. It's a gorgeous machine, and it's quiet a huge improvement over my old hand mixer! :) Made Fabulous fluffy omelettes yesterday with them. I recommend getting the second bowl. Excited to use the accessories.
