This blender has changed my life! No more getting out a big machine to make smoothies or shakes! I also use it to blend soup right in the pot. It does a good job of making shaved ice, too.

I love this hand blender,I use it to blend soup right in the pot and its great for beldning smoothies as well.I had a cheaper brand before this one and it wasn't as durable,I have given this as a housewarming gift twice so far.

Great for making smoothies, Works great for soups and purees. Make your homemade vinaigrette a true emulsion. I guess you could also make your own mayo, but I never had the desire.

This is my first stick blender and now I don't know how I ever survived with it. Easy to use, does a great job and it's easy to clean. I really love it!

My mom has this and it's awesome! She makes homemade milkshakes in seconds

Very good product. I actually won mine from a contest from Bzzagent and was really excited that it came to me in the brushed chrome which matched the other small appliances in my kitchen. It looks very nice and works well. I used it to make the easiest applesauce and applebutter... just washed the apples, cut them off the core and then cooked (with a little water and some spices) in the crockpot until soft (no peeling, dicing, etc). Then I used the SmartStick to blend really well right in the crockpot. After taking some sauce out to cool, I continued cooking the rest until it thickened for applebutter. It came out so smooth (even with that healthy peel in there) and healthy. I also used it to make my diet shakes in my old house with some crushed ice from our fridge. It did really well. I don't do this anymore because I only have a cube maker now and not sure how it would do with those (and don't need to try now since I have a Vitamix now) but it did awesome turning the crushed ice into a smooth shake. I love using this for in the pan (or crockpot or bowl) blending. I also make a yummy soup. And it is super easy to clean as long as you do it right away (though I'm sure it's not hard if you don't). I just rinse the bottom in hot water and bam it's done in under a minute.

bought this product and wasn't sure if i would actually utilize it. i thought it might be one of those purchases that sat covered with dust. but i was wrong this product is so useful. i use it to puree my soups instead of a blender because the clean up is soo much easier. i utilize the whip attachment when i make whip cream instead of pulling out my mixer. it is so versatile.

amazing.. ohh boy!! I am so inlove with this blender..it's super easy to use like, mixing, and blending..it's was so lucky that I was able to tried to use this king of blender..it's totally a life saver..and take note it's easy too clean up too..that's why I love this blender..

Using Cuisinart smart stick makes you smart I love my Cuisinart smart stick so much I bought one for my daughter as a gift! I am actually in the market to get a new one for myself seeing I use it so often. My son had an unfortunate accident and had his jaw wired...this thing made everything drinkable!! Also love using the smart stick to make soups and mashed cauliflower super smooth.

This is awesome for mixing together liquid ingredients. I use it for my salsa verde recipe all of the time! It leaves much less of a mess than a regular blender!

I love love this blender. It's awesome in many ways. easy to blend, chop, mix and CLEAN! I buy electronic items only if I know for sure that they will be easy to clean. I hate messes to clean after trying to blend fruit juice. YES! I even make few juices with this hand blender (like watermelon, apple, orange). anything that can pulp is great to blend.

Was given this as a gift, and am loving it. I find myself looking for a reason to use it.

I purchased this for myself and my son took over it. He works out and does a lot of protein shakes. He uses it several times a day. He loves it. I am going to have to purchase another one.

Best for everything! Super for soup. I also have an attachment that makes single serving whipped cream a breeze!

Easy to clean and use!! Great product!!
