Great quality and ease of use. Love the fact that you can remove the wand to clean. Bought it to replace the one that was dropped into the sink of water too many times.
This unit is half the cost of a Barmix, twice as powerful, and nearly three time the size. The family thought I had bought a jack-hammer! It will puree a bucket of thick soup in a wink.
initially surprised by the size of this blender (length) but discovered tha we can master batch our lotions in a 5 gallon bucket without creating a foam head as was happening with the 2 stick blenders we replaced for the 12 speed blender.
