The curvy blade cage is great because it keeps it from suctioning to the bottom of a pot or bowl. I went through two other blenders before I got this one. I can't imagine needing more than this. Price is good for the quality. It's awesome. It's powerful, super sturdy, and blends in seconds.
This is a very powerful blender, we love it. great product. We killed our Oster version about 6mos ago.
We're hoping Kitchenaid addresses this issue in subsequent models. We still use it, but it requires tedious methods to clean and keep sanitary. By the time we noticed it, food had dried was stuck about 1/4" up the shaft.
The first one died too early, but we liked using it so much for our morning smoothies that we bought another. Food gets in the shaft and is next-to-impossible to clean. This is our second hand held blender.
The seal was just loose enough to trap food, and not noticeable at first. It's a great blender, but buyer beware. This one is working ok, but like other reviewers stated, the rubber seal came loose and trapped food.
The seal is not removable because of the blades.
It is a little bit heavy, but no heavier than a hand mixer. An incredible time and cleanup saver. Everyone who makes soups should have this handy kitchen tool. Instead of waiting for the soup to cool so that you can use your blender on soups that need blending, you can proceed with this step while it is hot and right in the cooking pan.
All in all, I'm a happy camper. It's a really cool device for those pea soup fans who make their own. I got more than what I paid for.
Product arrived ahead of schedule. Cleaning is a snap since: the blending attachment can be separated from the motor body, dunked into soapy water, and dried off in the drain rack. Ordered the Hand Blender without problems.
Actually I paid more than I wanted but. - Teo Blender neatly packed in a styrofoam fitted box.
Used all dial settings using soups, stocks & sauces [great results from purees to slightly chunky].
