I bought this unit because I have a very good Krups hand mixer, which is probably already over 10 years old and compared to other runs very quietly. This quality I have hoped for from this immersion blender. The positive thing about this device is its unique design with a lot of metal. The detachable blade make cleaning easier enormously. The 800ml container is sufficient in terms of size, but could have a lid in order to provide the finished food directly into the refrigerator. Another advantage is the fixed to the vessel bottom slip protection.
Drawback is a little bit too easily removable rod. The click mechanism seems to be malfunctioning. The third use of the device for a soup of the bar suddenly fell into the soup. That must not be. Another disadvantage is that there is about this device hardly accessories. There is no chopper or a potato masher. This was planned according Krups and is even in the instructions for use included, but was never produced anything.
A pioneer in the immersion blenders, in my opinion Braun.
