How about this blender for making pesto etc?

Hello

I have a great hand blender for soups, but it only really works when you have a large amount of stuff to blend, rather than if you just wanted to make a small amount of pesto for one or two people.

What do you think of this blender on special in Aldi this week for pesto etc?

Looks like another version of those magic/amazing bullets. I love mine, far less wastage due to "stickage" when processing small amounts of stuff, i.e. in big processors loads of the food ends up down the drain as you clean it out. Perfect for stuff like pesto, you will have the containers with it. You screw the container onto the blade attachment, then unscrew and put a lid direct on the container. So no loss during transfer to a jam jar.

I got mine on amazon delivery is free as its over £25, it also has a juicer which the aldi one doesn't. I have never used the juicer
