Cuisinart Hand Blender, Smart Stick 2-Speed Hand Blender- Powerful & Easy to Use Stick Immersion Blender-for-Shakes, Smoothies, Puree, Baby Food, Soups & Sauces, Stainless Steel, CSB-175P1,White

I love this hand blender. It's just what I needed. Enough power to make creamy smoothies and shakes in a short time, and doesn't splash up. I'll try it with cream soups at a later date, but for now this is perfect. It's an attractive, sturdy hand blender. And I'm thrilled I could get it in white without paying a premium price, like some manufacturers charge. I'm shocked at how long the cord is, but am not complaining. One day the extra length may come in handy. Oh, and compared to some hand blenders it's quiet. My neighbours won't be hearing this one.

Se ve de bu na calidad. Me gusta para hacer salsa Italia Ana y moler directo en la olla. El equipo tiene un botón de seguridad en la parte de arriba que hace difícil el manipularla con una sola mano.

I have a food processor which is great to use for all things blending, mixing, grinding, etc. But I've realized that it is sometimes a chore to have to lug out that 10-15 lb behemoth every time I want to mix up a few things or make a smoothie for the wife. So I decided to buy this hand blender while it was on sale and I'm really glad I did. Pros: - Easy to clean: I usually detach the blender portion and have it soaking in some water as I either finish up what I was making or eat. Then when I am ready to wash I'll attach it back into the power portion and run it in some soapy water, voila! All clean. - Lightweight: Fairly small and when broken apart it can fit in any cabinet or drawer. - Easy to hold: I've read a fair amount of reviews that complain about the placement of the safety switch on top. I usually start the blender firmly inside whatever I am going to blend, then I'll hold the blender with my right hand (finger on whichever speed I want to use) and with the other hand hit the safety button. Once the blender is going (you have to keep your finger pressed down on the speed) you can keep it going without pushing the safety button again. It isn't very difficult once you get the hang of it and I haven't made a mess in the kitchen yet (includes blending whole tomatoes right in the can). - Efficient blending/grinding: So far I've blended smoothies (frozen strawberries, banana, milk), whole tomatoes in the can into a puree, homemade mayo (within 10 sec), and a mixture for my chili base. The chili base I wasn't sure if it was going to work because I placed the following inside of the cup that came with the blender: ripped up pieces of dried ancho, California, and Arbol chili peppers, anchovie filets, chunks of chocolate, whole star anise, whole cloves, and tomato paste/soy sauce/marmite/chicken broth. After a few seconds though, I could tell that it worked perfectly. There were a few pieces of chili at the end, but nothing that caused any problems. I was pretty pleased with the result. Cons: - None so far, but I'll update later if I run into any. I know another complaint was the length of the power cord, but I honestly think it is pretty decent length. Compared to fryers, electric skillets, and other appliances this hand blender has a very generous power cord. I'd definitely buy again in a heartbeat. Especially at such a low price.

O material da parte do motor (plástico) parece bom nas fotos, mas é horrível. Devolvi o produto sem tentar usar, nem sequer o liguei. Vi outros brasileiros similares de melhor qualidade em algumas lojas no Rio e em São Paulo. Já tive um mixer Cuisinart comprado em 2011, por isso confiei na marca. Era outro nível.

I love the Cuisinart blender we have in the USA, which is why I ordered this one (at 3 times the price) for use in the UK. But what came was a standard US blender, that requires a 120v 60Hz power supply. It even came with a US plug, which at least saved me from plugging it in and blowing it up.
