This was a replacement wand. I have the whole set up with the food processer. My last wand lasted for years (>10years). Only issue with the new one is my older hands have a harder time with the release buttons. I like the will get better as a I use the new one.

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.

I got this as a Christmas present 2 years ago and love it! The only thing that could make it better would to be cordless. I make smoothies every morning with frozen fruit and my husband has a hard time with the sound of blenders. So I was searching for something that would provide me with a quieter sound but also multi functional. This fits the bill! What I wasn't expecting is that I can blend a smoothie faster with this than in a blender! 2+ years and still going strong. I have had a problem recently with the chopping bowl when I try to chop and blend anything with a liquid it has been leaking up and out, which it never did before. Tonight I noticed a small chip on the edge so I'm actually here to buy a replacement bowl, which I'm happy they sell!
