I have this one, too. I love it.I have a Cuisinart stick blender and the working end twists off and goes into the DW.

This KitchenAid does the same thing, since it also has whisk and food chopper attachments.I have a Cuisinart stick blender and the working end twists off and goes into the DW.

I think that's my favorite feature. I wouldn't buy a stick blender that didn't do that.
That's fine if you are planning to hand wash something else, otherwise it's a waste of water to fill something up just to wash the blender. Putting it in the dishwasher saves time and water.About the working end of the stick blender going in the dishwasher, it also works to blend up some water with soap.

I can't remember the last time I cooked a meal without hand washing anything. It's not always whether an item requires washing by hand, but how often I use it between times that the dishwasher is run, which for us is usually about every 3rd day on average.
I always have wash water in the right side of the sink when I'm cooking so I can quickly wash mixing bowls, knives (especially my knives), cutting boards, and other implements that get used during prep and early in the cooking process.
There are plenty of breaks during the cooking cycle where I can take 30 seconds or a minute to wash up 2 or 3 things. I like to stay ahead of the mess, and that way I always have the things that I use on a daily basis (or sometimes twice or 3 times daily) available when I need them.
K'girl, I made a test pumpkin pie for a contest and made a topping for it made with minced homemade crystallized ginger and roasted, salted pumpkin seeds. I minced the ginger with the chopper attachment that came with the stick blender and this was the result.NICE!
I was looking at that one at BB&B, but I wasn't sure about the
mini chopper.
GG, could you give first hand experience accounts?

Thanks, Kay! I didn't think a traditional whipped cream topping would hold up for the contest, so I had to think of something else [emoji2]
Oh, nice! I love the silicon helper handle cover! What a great idea! I wonder if they're available after-market.Nice kitchen toys, all! I especially like your mother-lode, GG.
When we were in the Knoxville area, it turns out that we weren't far from several of the Lodge factory stores. Himself was a true Mr. Wonderful and took us to the one in Sevierville. In spite of the fact that he pointed out the generous-sized shopping carts, I limited my purchases to what I could carry in my own arms. Kept it to just the left arm, too, so I could keep picking things up to look! As it turned out, I got two 12-inch, shallow skillets that can double as the lids for other skillets and pots, plus a three-quart saucepot that goes with the lid. A set of handle and helping handle silicone covers for Loverly and me - she got one of the shallow skillets. BTW, can YOU tell what was the Factory Second? In spite of the ticket on the skillet, neither could we.
We love these! They don't heat the Kitchen up and allow us to adjust the temps beyond low, med etc.... You can actually choose the temps for the burners.
