This model was one of the heavier units but its rubberized top and contouring for the hand did not make it feel heavy when blending. This unit has 5 speeds which gave it a nice level of control.

This model was the only one that had 4 blades, which made it slightly more challenging to clean, but it was worth the effort for the blending power.
