Best hand held blender - pref under £100?

[CardinalFang]

Morning all,

After about 12 years my faithful Braun multiprac has finally expired, so I'm looking for a replacement. Tempted to go for it's equivalent:

But, thought I'd check if anyone has an alternative recommendation, or any problems with that model? My preference is for non-cordless, with at least one bowl & a whisk attachment & looking to spend under £100.

Many thanks.

Bamix is highly regarded but will be over budget for a decent cordless with accessories.

Personally I went for one of these to get a much higher power motor, albeit corded.

3 years on and its still perfect and gets used 2-3 times a week.

We have had our corded Bamix for over 15 years and it was £100 back then which the better half assured me was worth it in the long run.

Used 2-3 times a week, every week and it still as good as the day we bought it.

I bought a hand blender from Wilkinsons for about £15 4 or 5 years ago and it's still going strong.

I have one of these, albeit with only a couple of attachments, and it's absolutely faultless.

Surprised it's not been mentioned yet - about 3 or 4 years ago, in this very same forum, I also asked about hand blenders and very quickly a couple of professional chefs basically told me to get a cheap one from Tesco. I didn't, I went for one model up with the attachments and it's done me well since.

O/H has just bought me a Cookworks one from Argos; two speed, stainless steel with whisk and chopper attachments. I never check the price of gifts but it's very good.
