Blender recommendation

[yeknomyeknom]

I have a great big blender for cooking etc but I'm after a small, quick and easy to use blender for baby food or very small portions or blending say a few garlic cloves. I did buy one on amazon on customer recommendations but its too big. The blade sits above a garlic clove for example and just lops the odd bit off. Anyone have a decent one they would recommend?

I just used a hand held blender.........

I had one but I didn't find it worked very well. Ended up chasing ingredients around the bowl.

I'm after the Magimix le micro mini. After searching for months and reading hundreds of reviews on various mini models this has come out tops for me. I've got a kitchenaid blender and a handheld but they only do bigger quantities, I need another to do smaller. All this tech, just need the money to splash out now.

I've had the magi mix micro mini for about 4 years and its amazing. Blitzes an onion in a few seconds. Carrots, peppers, courgettes etc. Ice no problem. I use it daily to make kids meals, I wouldn't bother if it was full size but it only takes a few seconds to clean. It's probably in my top 5 baby/child related purchases!
