CuisinartSmartStick 2-Speed Hand Blender with Chopper Attachment

I gave this as a Christmas gift for a granddaughter, she just used it to mash veggies. Said it did a wonderful job and how easy it is to use.

I bought it for making mayonnaise. But it works for many other purposes. It works best if the blade is covered at least 1.5 inches before turning it on. Since it's metal I only use it in plastic jars. When I used it in a glass wide mouth canning jar it chipped the glass rim and I had to discard the contents. It's great to only need to clean the blade arm instead of using a chopper with a big container.

I had the older version of this cuisinart for years. This one is not as “solid” and does not seem to have the same power of the earlier version. I know safety features are important, but I do not like that you have to hold down two buttons to operate it. I have arthritis and that is quite uncomfortable. It does the job, but I’m disappointed in the quality.

Good instrument

I don’t know if mine is defective but in order for it to work you have to hold down the top button. This makes using it difficult for me. This product annoys me.

EASY TO USE

I use this for my grandson who needs his food to be blended well.

Great product, a little higher priced but it has many functions.
