It’s definitely cheap and a bargain. The blades are great but there will be some chunky bits at the sides and you have to shake the jar a bit to ensure a smooth texture at the end. I tried using it to make sauces and that doesn’t work very well.

However, all the jug parts were detachable and it’s very easy to clean.

Bottom line: Works okay but not great. Consider Braun MR430HC/AC Multiquick Deluxe Hand Blender & Chopper

This blender is very inexpensive and the price affects its performance. The jar is plastic, and it became dull after just several uses. The motor is powerful, but the controls are not very precise. However, it does very well what I bought it for- to make smoothies for my kid.

I liked the small footprint and low price of this blender. And it seemed to do well even crushing frozen strawberries for smoothies, but the parts do not fit snuggly together and I think this caused it to break. The entire spinning mechanism under the jug splintered and sent out acrid smoke one morning and that was it for this blender. It is worth it to get a slightly pricy model made with hardier materials.
