Better than expected!
Bought as an emergency replacement for my old el cheapo Braun hand blender, and 500W Tefal jug blender which both decided to self- destruct in the same week. The savisto is larger than expected, and much heavier too indicating that there should be some serious 'oomph' to it when working. So far used for my morning smoothie, and makes short work of blending in the oats contained therein. Continuously variable power using dial on top of unit. Which is nice....Using the chopper attachment to chop onions, i found out that the blade is indeed sharp, (as stated in the destructions booklet) by nicking my thumb. Bleeding 'ell - there was claret everywhere! Once assembled and thumb cleaned, the blender pretty much turned my roughly chopped onion (but thankfully not my thumb) into puree in about 5 seconds, so next time I'll do this on a lower power.
It can be slightly tricky to separate the stainless steel stick from the motor unit, but at least the locking action is solid and shouldn't break, although perhaps this function might get easier the more the blender is used.
I have no idea why this was the price it was. Looking around I'm seeing it on sale at 60-70 quid, so i have no idea why I was able to pay only a third of that. The item was new, although the box's seal had been pulled back, so maybe it was a return? Anyway, I'm not complaining.

Effectively stopped small leak from gas hob
Having pulled the knobs off my ageing gas hob, unscrewed and pulled out the sprung valves to decrud them, I noticed a slight leak from one gas ring upon reassembling, and that the knob wouldn't turn smoothly. I oiled the taper plug with lithium, then silicone grease which improved the leak for a week or so, but then the smell returned. Thankfully a DIY forum provided the answer: graphite grease/molykote 1102. None of my local plumbers merchants seemed to have heard of the stuff, so I had to buy online. Worked straight away. Abdolutely no gas smell so discernible leak, and saved me a few hundred quid in not having to have a new hob fitted. The stuff I received though was an 80g tube of Regz15 and not the 50g of Molykote as pictured, but I'm sure it's essentially the same stuff.
