High quality, but tiring

On the many positive comments Ghin also I ordered this blender. It does what it should: mix, and quite well. That the lower part is detachable, is quite practical.
Unfortunately, the appliance is plenty big and heavy and difficult to include with its large diameter. In order to achieve the low-lying rubber buttons, one also needs a lot of power, especially if you use the higher speed level. I need frequent breaks, so my (not small) hands not cramped.
Before that I had a much lighter and thinner 150W blender from Braun, who also all get small, but significantly more manageable and was more convenient to use and took away not so much closet space. After this experience, I would not select the device again.
