Title: Many years of service
Review: I have a slightly older version of this hand blender (#4169 160W) and have used it for the past 10 years with great satisfaction. I plan to purchase a new one though (this time the Braun MR5550MBC-HC Professional Hand Blender with a stainless steel shaft) because as much as I use my current one, the plastic guard around the blade melted and deformed slightly when pureeing a hot soup and has not fit the chopper attachment exactly right since. Also, I dropped my chopper containter and it's being held together with tape! I use the mixer and or chopper almost daily & because I do not like to have lots of appliances in my kitchen cabinets, it really fits the bill. Overall, I think you will be very happy with this model.
