I received this as a gift a couple of years ago. We use it at least 3 times a week. Perfect for blending, and I love the small chopper for garlic and fresh ginger: it turns a 10 or 15 minute mincing job into a few seconds. I enthusiastically recommend it!
I bought this two years ago, primarily for use as an immersion blender. So far, the immersion blender works fine. I rarely use the small chopper bowl. Tonight I used it, and after washing, I noticed that it had cracked along the bottom. This item has not been heavily used; it has never had boiling water poured in it; it has never been put in the dishwasher. Literally, a couple of times making pesto or chopping nuts, and now it's cracked. I expected better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry that the bowl for your Control Grip has cracked. We do want to make this right for you. We will be sending you an email shortly from the information we have for the purchase of that Control Grip but as that purchase is a bit older, we'll need you to verify the details. Please expect that email shortly.
I have been using this at least once a week since I got it more than three years ago. I love it, especially the long stem that lets me just plunge it into a saucepan of soup and make the creamiest of soups. A friend just used it and described it to her daughter. Comment: “this is a magical device!” Agree.
I’ve used this for more than three years and am more than satisfied on all counts. Easy to clean. If there was only another attachment for the chopper, then it would completely replace any need for a food processor.
