My stick blender is a cheapie I picked up at Walgreen's, of all places, for
$10. It works like a charm and came with a whipping/pureeing attachment and
a small chopping blade (for breaking up larger chunks of stuff in liquid,
like the potatoes and leeks in my purees potato-leek soup). The disc
attachment would whip cream were I so inclined. If I need a more heavy duty
slicing or chopping job I have a Hamilton Beach food processor tucked away
with several grating, chopping, slicing discs. I rarely use it.

I can't seem to justify the need for a big stand mixer (nor do I have the
room for one).
