Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender, Stainless Steel

I love this because it has all the accessories. Smoothie, chopper and soup blender... Easy to use and well made. Safety release is easy to use. Solidly made. Easy to clean.

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!

I’ve had this stick blender and the accessories for a couple of years now. It is great! The blender has a multi speed adjustment, making it easy to start a blend at a low speed to mitigate any mess, and ending in a high speed blend that assures complete purée. The safety switch is now activated by the index finger in line with third finger activation of the blender button. This is much more natural and comfortable than the old safety switch on top of the stick. Accessories include a blender cup, chopper, and whipping attachment. Like most blender cups, this one is sturdy plastic and makes it easy to blend small amounts. It’s. Terrific container for making mayonnaise. The chopper is activated by the stick and does a fine job as.l a mini food processor. This is a great quality item, and well with the price.

So far so good. Works well although the double button press is a bit unconventional and you have to get used to it. A cheaper alternative to the super expensive ones! Some things don’t have to be so expensive.

The last one I had lasted seven years before it locked up. I had taken a wild shot and bought another popular brand where both units that they exchanged for me did not work with their unlocking mechanism. You don't have to worry about that with this unit. Anything beyond seven years as a bonus as far as i'm concerned, that's ten bucks a year. It's a good unit.

It's much easier to just attach the blending tool as a single part to blend simple things like drinks, making it much easier to clean than my jug blender that has to be disassembled into five parts to clean in the dishwasher. For most cases this will be clean if rinsed properly in clean running water or hand washed. A lot of people have trouble with the safety switch that allows the start switch to work but I have no trouble with that on one hand. The downside versus a jug blender is that you usually have to stabilize the container with the content to be blended, especially at higher speeds but it's not a real inconvenience.

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.

O material da parte do motor (plástico) parece bom nas fotos, mas é horrível. Devolvi o produto sem tentar usar, nem sequer o liguei. Vi outros brasileiros similares de melhor qualidade em algumas lojas no Rio e em São Paulo. Já tive um mixer Cuisinart comprado em 2011, por isso confiei na marca. Era outro nível.

Excelente batidora, muy buena potencia y los accesorios son lo más, todo de muy buena calidad y práctico para el uso en casa, la batidora está muy bien para batir huevos o cosas livianas, no para mezclas espesas.

an essential kitchen item. Sadly the wand on our old one broke after many years. You can just buy the wand replacement. This one is very pretty and works well, and the price was ok

Love my hand blender!

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.
