Blending is a routine process in a kitchen which must be easy and handful. Orpat hand blender does its work quite well over two month for me.
DESIGN
Design of the blender is very good but if it is more slim than it is now then handling will be great. Switch position is very well placed which makes us easy to run it and stop anytime.
Built quality is best and very hard plastic which is as expected in any kitchen tool.
Blade is guided well so there in no harm if runs free mistaken.
PERFORMANCE
Performance of the blender is as expected by anyone using it but it gets heated if you run it for longer duration of work. As I feel uncomfortable after some time when I was making a dosa batter using this blender. It started heating after 2-3min making me uncomfortable to grip otherwise everything works quite well.
HANDLING
As I said there is no harm of any kind while using this so it is easy for minors too if they wants to use it for some work in kitchen.
Wall mount provided with it makes it easy to mount near work playform without adjusting much space.
My Conclusion
After long use my suggestion is to go with product as it is cost effective and built quality and matetial is good.
Only one problem that it gets heated and gives small burning smell but thats normal as no damage has done to tge product yet.
