I have a Braun turbo 400 watt stick blender that
came with the food processor attachment. It's
good for making pesto. I don't remember using it
for anything else. Certainly not potato chips.
It won't do what many food processors will do,
but it can do some things. It's main benefit
is that it is small, and the power unit can be
used with the stick blender attachment, so it's
space-efficient. I liked it so much I gave one
to my mom as a Mother's Day present.
