What Others Say
Great Product!
Have always wanted to replace an immersion blender that I had for years. This one is much better then one that was replaced. Used correctly this should last for years also. It's not a 'grinder'....it's an immersion blender. So instead of taking hot soups etc. out of the pot to blend in a conventional blender....you can just put this right into the pot and presto! So much easier than the older way. :o) Also great for smoothies, baby food, and the whisk attachment works great also. A lot of uses for the price and well made. Just rinse the blade under the tap and you're good to go!
Broke in 4 months
The plastic part which spins broke in 4 months and now it doesn't work. For the first four months, I loved it.
Indispensable kitchen tool!
What a genius tool! I originally bought this to blend hot soups without the dangerous and tiresome task of pouring scalding soup into a blender and making an enormous mess. Little did I know how quickly and easily I also could blend smoothies, make whipped cream, and chop veggies! Yes, the manual says only to run the motor for a certain number of seconds at a time. But as the other reviewers have indicated, it only takes a few seconds to chop or blend, so there is little danger of overheating the motor.
The stick attachment is a breeze to clean - just a tiny drop of soap and a good rinse in hot water and you're done! Much better than the traditional blender with its numerous pieces to be disassembled and washed.

Awesome tool
This is one of the handiest tools in the kitchen. I have to be honest, I really don't use the attachments because I have a powerful Kitchen Aid food processor, a Cuisinart mini-chopper, a realtively powerful Cuisinart blender and a decent electric handmixer. The unit itself takes up very little space. Obviously the attachments require more room.
The main event here is the immersion blender. With the included measuring cup, you can use it to make single serve protein shakes. My wife and I use it to make soups, specifically to thicken vegatable soups. Many soup recipes call for pouring the soup into a blender, and then returning it to the pot after it is blended. Cuisinart CSB-77 Smart Stick Hand Blender with Whisk and Chopper Attachments allows you to blend it in the pot.
Save your money, this is poor quality
Save your money and invest in a better immersion blender.
The teeth that connect to the different attachments are made of plastic - and they have worn off after only a few uses. None of the blades will spin now, regardless of which attachment you are using - rendering the blender completely useless.
