just bought this for my boyfriend for christmas, apparently he has been wanting one for years. we used our neighbors last year to make gravy for our roast...and it seemed to work really well. hope he loves his gift as much as im thinking he will.

I love my cuisinart smartstick hand blender. I use it all the time. I got mine at costco and it came with the small mixer. My mixer bowl cracked and I called cuisinart and they sent me a brand new bowl. They have wonderful customer service and their products are built to last. I use my hand blender to blend soup, make dressing, whipped cream, and lots of other things. I don't know what I would do without it.

I love mine. I love making cream soups. This makes it super easy.

Love my smartstick blender. Use it for mashed potatoes and smoothies. It is useful, practical, and easy to clean up

We use this daily for smoothies and salad dressing. It's so easy to clean, store and change attachments that even my husband loves this kitchen tool.

This is easy to use and easy to cleam. It's easier to use then my traditional hand mixer or pulling out my big one. I love it when making custards that you have to mix constantly for them to turn out correctly or when making sauces!

This product is amazing! It is extremely easy to use and to clean. (Differently from other blenders that have a jar which has to be washed every time I use. ) It can be used directly into the cooking pan and the texture of the purees it creates is finer compared to other blenders. It is incomparable when it comes to pastry creations like creams, custards and puddings.

I got this as a wedding gift and wasn't quite sure what it was. However, I use it now when I make sauce, soups or even smoothies. It's easy to use and even better, easy to clean.

I bought this atCostco with an instant rebate. For such a small item, the power is amazing. I've used it for soups and sauces. I really didn't think I would use the chopper, but I think it does a great job. What a simple way to chop an onion!

This is a must have in the kitchen! I love being able to pull out the mini food processor to chop up a carrot or other vegetables. Have also used the stick for smoothies and soups. The whisk attachment is also great and saves me from having to dirty the mixer for somthing small like egg whites; just make sure you use a large bowl so you don't spash! So many uses in one small tool. I definitly recommend!

I love my smartstick. I never pureed anything because I hated the mess and transfer from a pot, to a blender, back to a pot. With my smartstick, now I want to puree everything. I made an incredible broccolli and leek soup that was so easy since all I had to do was use one pot and my smartstick. Great product!!!

This is absolutely wonderful to make smoothies or the best scrambled eggs ever - they are light and fluffy - I love it!

This is the best product ever. Whoever invented it was super. I love it for home made soups. No more trying to pour pots into blender to cream it. Makes making soup fun. I love to make different soups on the weekend for an easy dinner, especially when it is cold outside. Everyone who cooks should have this product

Wonderful for making pestos and smoothies. Convenient and easy--love this kitchen tool

This is the most handy product I have in my house, apart from my bread machine. I can make cream soups, dressings, whipped cream and smoothies faster and with less mess than my regular blender. Clean up is simple and clumsy old me hasn't cut herself on it at all. I love my stick blender.
