I think 'trusty' would be a better adjective than 'good' when it comes to a stick blender. You want one that will get the job done and hold up. I can't speak for others, but here is my experience.When I started making soap, I took an old (15+ years) Braun stick blender from my kitchen. It is very basic, no bells and whistles. A couple of months ago, because I was beginning to worry that it might conk out and I had coupons like crazy, I was able to get a new Kitchen Aid stick blender for $11. Having used both, I prefer the trusty old Braun. If they are both clean, I will use that one first. But both work just fine. I would look for one that comes apart - that feature is the only thing that is really important to me. It's better for cleaning, and if I need to pause for some reason I think it is safer to be able to detach the motor. I say this because I like to leave the bell submerged in the batter so it lessens the chance of air bubbles. I wouldn't do that with a one piece blender - too top heavy.
