Had this hand blender beside the esge for election. Bosch is very good: quality finish, ergonomic operation, drinks / soups / onion mix super, rotary switch useless. esge M 180 is platinum just a completely different number; ok, also costs 3 times: crazy speed, no spatter, variable essays with countless applications, highest quality and value, printer stand with drawer essays, 10-year warranty The Bosch is also good and can recommend it.
