This is my first handheld. I made cream pies that need constantly stirred for 1/2 hour. Worked wonderful! I have also made cream of cauliflower soup. So much better than having to put it in a blender and back into the pot. I used the chopper to make guacamole. It worked great. It was very smooth. If like it chunky this may not be the tool for you. It also chopped up walnuts for a cookie recipe with non problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!
