CuisinartCSB-179 Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender, Stainless Steel

Perfect solution. I did a lot of research on this. I needed something to whip up daily smoothies in a 16 oz glass and be easy to clean. I also wanted reliability and ease of use. This is it. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and does a great job. There is nothing wrong with the safety next to the power button. (Some reviews say it is awkward). It's easy to use with one hand. highly recommend! Good price.

I was looking for one of these to try different things, and this one has held up really well. I've had it for a few months now and no issues at all. It feels like good quality and is super easy to use. The only thing I didn’t love is that you have to press both buttons to turn it on—but aside from that, I’ve made several recipes and everything has gone smoothly. Definitely worth buying this one with a bit more “cost” instead of going for a cheaper one that might break after a few months.

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!

Very quiet compared to my previous one. Seems potent and effective. The downside is that the mixer bowl could be bigger. It’s on the smaller size but it’s able to deal with most preparations. I also don’t like that the blade on the bowl gets loose (it’s like a small round attachment, not a full piece). You must be extra careful when cleaning and storing it. But would definitely buy again for the low level of noise compared to other ones and the safety lock.

Great product for home cooks. I have been using it for a couple months now and I am very satisfied with the sauces I make with it, it can blend the toughest kales and veggies into smooth and creamy sauces. It is easy to clean and very easy to use. The containers that come with it are also great. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a well-priced and high quality home blender.

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.

My husband loves it! Something broke on his first one so I got him one for his birthday

Needed one. I picked this. Did not want battery. This is amazing. Lots f speeds and attachments. Use it a lot
