I'm with piglet, the Bamix is the best stick blender.

Whereas most stick blenders only have the chopper blade, the Bamix has three blades. The aerator, the blender and the chopper blades.

We went to the NEC Good Food Exhibition several years ago, and stopped at the Bamix stall and watched the demonstration. We bought.

We also have the grinder/chopper for herbs, spices, etc. And it also grinds granulated sugar down to icing sugar.

Was it cheap - Not particularly, although it was on 'special offer' for the show.

Was it worth every penny we spent buying it -most definitely yes.

As piglet says, its a 'wouldn't be without gadget'.
