Brand new; still in the box. As its name indicates, it has multiple use. Blending, stirring, whipping. The thing is, I used to have dreams of being a grandiose chef ( untrained, mind you) but now I live by myself and have no need to cook for anything that would require an immersion blender. So, there’s my story. I know that the same model is being sold at Crate and Barrel for $110 so this is truly a bargain.
