Having to press both the Power button and the other button at the same time to start the stick is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous bkz 2 hands are really needed to press both buttons at once and the force with which the Stick jumps into action makes the mixing bowl slide out from under the Stick or just start spinning before you can hold it down with one of your hands once the Power button is no longer needed. Short of using a concrete grade weighted bowl, I could think of no safe solution to this setup. So I returned the product. Disappointed but knowing it was a dangerous tool.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There isn't many things this blender can't do. I love making homemade soups, dressings, sauces, the list goes on. It is also awesome for desserts like milkshakes, smoothies, and whipping up egg whites for meringue or whipping heavy cream for whipped cream. It is the most used appliance in my kitchen. Great as a gift for someone who loves to cook! 👍
I love this thing! So efficient and fun to use. It saves me from cleaning a whole blender and blades because I can just stick it into the existing pot I'm using.

I was very disappointed that there were two buttons that I must press to blend. My other stick blender only had a start button and this one is much more difficult to operate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited too long before getting my Smart Stick Two speed. Great for making smoothies, tomato soup, and sauces. Wish I had it years ago!
