Very Powerful!! Finally had to replace our old Braun hand mixer. Got this unit and it is awesome! Got it because of the name. Hopefully it last's half as long as the 20 year old Braun. Stands up good when you set it down, feels good and comfortable to use, like the trigger release for the beaters, beaters easy to clean
I was looking for a no thrills blender and that's what I got. Works as expected and I'm very happy with my purchase!. I would have given it a 5 stars rating but the plastic lock for keeping cord in place doesn't work.
