Mine's a Braun, bought at Costco. It came with a tall plastic cup
fitted to the blade size. It is used for making mayonnaise in ten
seconds, the best use I've found for the gadget. It also came with a
mini-processor that is driven by the motor in the handle of the wand.
I use it more than I expected to, but it's not essential. It also
came with a whip attachment, which I guess would be good for whipping
egg whites. Don't know, I've never used it. The wand blender itself
works just fine, and I think Braun is decent quality for the money
most of the time. -aem
