Works fantastic. I bought it for my instant pot for making soups. I made a butternut squash soup and it turned out delicious. My only problem was it scratched the bottom of the Teflon pan. I thought I could hold it above the bottom of the pan but when i turned it on, it pulled to the side. I didnt realize it would do that, this was my first time using an immersion blender.
Works well enough... should have listened to the negative reviews regarding the lock button. It has to be pushed in to turn on then it can be let go of, but any repositioning or pressure taken off the power button requires that you go through the start up proceedure of holding down both buttons at the same time again. This makesmaking the one handed operation awkward.
I replaced an old similar product with this smart stick hand blender. This one is great. Much nicer with two speeds and the removable power unit. That ends the problems with a top heavy single unit. Very handy.
