Every Kitchen needs this
Let’s be honest, I’ve tried a few hand blenders in my day, and most of them end up gathering dust in the back of a cupboard. Not the Cuisinart Smart Stick 2-Speed Hand Blender. This little powerhouse has earned a permanent spot on my counter, and I’m honestly not sure how I managed without it before.From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed with the sleek, ergonomic design. The handle fits comfortably in my hand, even when blending for longer periods, and the lightweight construction makes it incredibly easy to maneuver. The simple two-speed operation is perfect – low for those delicate sauces and dips, and high for quickly pureeing soups and smoothies.But it’s the performance that truly sets this hand blender apart. The stainless steel blade is incredibly robust and effortlessly tackles everything I throw at it. I’ve used it to:Whip up silky smooth butternut squash soup: Gone are the days of transferring scorching hot soup to a bulky blender. The Smart Stick immerses directly into the pot and creates a perfectly creamy texture in seconds.Blend quick and healthy smoothies: No more lugging out a full-sized blender for a single smoothie. The Smart Stick blends fruits, veggies, and ice with ease, giving me a smooth and consistent result every time.Make homemade mayonnaise in minutes: Forget the tedious whisking! The Smart Stick emulsifies oil and egg yolks perfectly, creating light and fluffy mayonnaise without any hassle.Puree baby food: The controlled blending speed allows me to create smooth, lump-free purees for my little one, knowing exactly what ingredients are going in.Cleanup is just as easy as the blending process. The detachable shaft is dishwasher safe, making it a breeze to keep clean. Plus, the compact size means it doesn’t take up much space in my kitchen drawer.What I love even more:The price point is fantastic for such a high-quality, versatile appliance.It feels incredibly durable and built to last.It’s versatile! From soups and sauces to smoothies and dips, this little gadget can do it all.The simple, straightforward operation makes it easy for anyone to use.Minor Considerations (but hardly deal-breakers):While the cord isn’t the longest, it’s sufficient for most kitchen tasks.It doesn’t have a fancy array of attachments, but honestly, the basic function is so excellent, I don’t miss them.Final Verdict:The Cuisinart Smart Stick 2-Speed Hand Blender is a game-changer for any home cook. It’s powerful, efficient, easy to use, and incredibly versatile. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a beginner, this hand blender will quickly become an indispensable tool in your kitchen. Highly recommended!

Fun to use and works great!
What a nifty tool. Especially excellent for blending veggies into smooth soups and creating salad dressing from scratch. Easy to clean. Highly recommended: I’ve been eating a lot more soup, just because the results are so so much better than canned.

powerful, sturdy, game changer. Great for frequent chop/blend/whisk needs
So far, very pleased.Sturdy feel works like a champ. I have been wanting one for some time. I had bought another brand but it didnt work. This works. This has been a great addition to my kitchen so far.The unlock and power button need to be pressed at same time. So place in hand with buttons facing away from you. Line up your fingers to be able to press both. This will get it powered up. Once going, you can release the lock button, but dont have to. Just know that if you stop, you will have to start that over again. Pretty sure this is the norm.Attachments are easy on/easy off, easy clean.Have yet to use the whisk, but can say that both the immersion attachment and the Chopper does a great job. This tool is something I have been missing in my life. I love not having to get out my big heavy noisy blenders all the time, especially for small jobs. What a game changer.

Good quality appliance
I just received this item a little while ago and have not used it yet, but my initial impression is that it is a well-made device. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and easy to disassemble for cleaning.I read reviews with complaints about the safety button. Personally, I think they are overstated, but I did find the safety button to be rather obtrusive when pulsing. It’s a bit awkward to hold down the safety button with your index finger while using your middle and ring fingers to repeatedly press and release the power button. The safety button is a mechanical lockout, and if you don’t fully press it, you cannot press down the power button. When pulsing, I tended to let off the safety button enough to lock out the power button.Based on what I observe, I expect the device to operate mostly as expected. I’m looking forward to using it and, although I didn’t buy it for the chopper/grinder attachment, I’ll be interested to see how well it works compared to my food processor.Once I get a chance to use it, I’ll amend my review.UPDATE: I used the product to make tomato soup with fresh tomatoes, and it worked very well. I just ran the blender on low speed because I wanted texture and did not want it completely smooth.Later I tried the chopper to chop some vegetables. I found it to work okay, but even 1 cup of veggies was a little too much because the larger pieces floated on top of the mix and remained over the blades and would not get chopped. If the amount is over about 1.5 cups, I’ll just use my food processor. For smaller amounts, I think this chopper is more convenient, but I won’t load more than about .75 cups at a time.As for the whisk, I imagine that it can do a good job, but you really need to use it in a vessel that has steep and pretty high walls. Even on low speed, it was slinging out food to the point that I could not make use of it for what I was trying to do.Again, all very easy to clean. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.

5 Stars – Versatile and Convenient!
This Cuisinart Smart Stick hand blender is fantastic! It’s powerful and works great for all kinds of blending tasks. The attachments are a huge plus—so much easier than dragging out my big KitchenAid mixer for smaller jobs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable immersion blender!

Amazing. Buy it!
Absolutely love this product. One star reduction because the cup is so easy to crack that I cracked mine with the first two weeks. I use this blender for a number of things. The attachments are amazing and very versatile. Cleaning is quick and easy

Cordless Immersion blender
This was a gift and a good one as well. Easy to use, great value, blends very well due to the sharp blades. It can be used for fruit, mixes and hot soups. The plastic makes it easy to clean.

Llego muy bien empacada. Quisimos usarla por un tiempo antes de opinar y estamos muy satisfechos con ella. No es ruidosa y tiene buena potencia. Se desarma muy fácil para poder limpiar la parte inferior sin exponer el resto del aparato al agua y se arma nuevamente igual de sencillo. Viene con vaso medidor grande de plástico resistente. Es el segundo producto que compramos de esta marca y tienen muy buena calidad. Excelente compra.
