The wand is in itself a great thing. He has always been one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. However, the accompanying vessels are more of a joke. Trying to prepare with the chopper recipes from the accompanying book, you quickly realize that it just does not go. Everything is overflowing - you would have to handle the things in 3 steps. This is very troublesome. Incomprehensible as it could be a plastic part dimensioned quite a bit bigger so without great additional cost. That's why only 3 stars, although the device could even 4 earned.
