I don't own a blender and haven't found a reason to buy one. I don't have a
hand-held mixer and can't see buying one. I would appreciate it if someone
gave me one, but I wouldn't buy one. I have an immersion blender that I only
use for soup and the occasional sauce. I could easily live without it, but
it takes up very little space and doesn't cost much. I use my FP every day
and would sorely miss it. I use my stand mixer about once a month. When
making large batches of cake batter or cookie dough, it is great but since
there are only two of us that seldom happens. I do use my pasta
roller/cutter attachment occasional and would have to have a pasta machine
if I didn't have the stand mixer with the attachment.
