Smart Stick Two-Speed Corded Hand Blender, Powerful Immersion Blender with 300-Watt Motor Blends Shakes, Smoothies, Puree, Baby Food, Soups & Sauces, CSB-175RP1, Red

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 love my new stick blender! As a small batch soapmaker, this blender fits the bill perfectly. It blends so smoothly without introducing air or bubbles. The shaft snaps on and off effortlessly and the motor is fairly quiet. I have to get used to the two button press to activate the blender, because you have to press firmly on the bottom button for it to turn on. But it's a great blender and I highly recommend.

Highly recommend this submersion blender for soap making! It has held up well and doesn’t create bubbles in my soap batter like my previous one!

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.

Perfect for soups, gravies & sauces. I use mine all the time.

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.

Great little blender, it does the job specially on the go.

This order was some time past!

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.

Lots of power. Only using for making soups. Not crushing ice with it.

Can be used with one hand and super easy to maneuver. Helps make soup amazing! And works amazing even after over a year

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.

good quality. for the price
