Christmas present

Stick blender and accessories at Bed Bath and Beyond.

This was my first stick blender.  The motor wasn’t very powerful, and the chopper bowl was too small to grind a single can of garbanzo beans into hummus.  I “limped along” for several years before I finally bought a newer Braun MultiQuick set.  The new set was more powerful and had a larger chopper bowl.  With the new unit I could grind a whole can of Chickpeas into hummus and the motor didn’t grind to a halt.
