SmartStick Hand Blender: Brushed Chrome by Cuisinart

its lightweight. i wanted to use this blender for hot foods, not all hand blenders allow this. love it

The blenders I've used in the past leave clumps or entrain air.

This blender works fantastic - it blends smooth, chops up ice cubes with no problem & my shakes never end up with a head of foam on them. The stainless steel shaft & blade is what makes the difference.

I like the way the shaft snaps in place, without having to twist it on like other models I've used, and it releases easily for quick clean up too.

Downsides are it's only one speed (not a problem for me), and it doesn't come with a wall-mounted bracket - but I have one left over frrom one of my old broken blenders!

You won't regret this purchase

I love the ease of use, clean up and the quality of the job I want it to do. I would recommend it for anyone.

I just received this, so I have only had a chance to use it once. I love homemade apple sauce and use a variety of apples to make it. I always peel the apples first. This time, I did not. I just cut them and cooked them. When they were finished, I used the hand blender and you would never know there were peels there. This way, I get all the flavor, all the taste and none of the work. I am sure I will use this often.

This is a replacement hand held blender for me. I use it to blend soups, sauces, etc. I love the fact the blade part is detachable and therefore much easier to wash.
