A great appliance, better than most I've seen or used. 5 out of 5 stars.

You can't go wrong with this hand blender, I've used four different wand style blenders but this blender exceeds them all by a mile. This is my second one, I wore the last one out and tried another cheaper one that barely had enough strength to grind up the ice in my shake, and the button configuration was difficult to use. This one has it all.

Great hand blender has lasted over 5 years! 4 out of 5 stars.

I bought the Immersion Hand Blender with the container over 5 years ago and it it still working very well. It is great to smooth out sauces, even though I purchased it to make my protein shakes.
The main drawback is that it seems to be scratching the sides of the container that I'm blending in.

I used the previous hand blender to mix shakes in large paper cups, but I discovered that this hand blender cuts the sides and bottom of those paper cups.

However, I had to remove the blades from the old unit to clean it; and for this KitchenAid blender, the blades are not removable, and clean pretty easily under warm running water.

So, I'm saying the trade off for having to blend in a sturdy container (and not being able to blend in a paper cup) is a fair trade off for the ease of use and clean up.

The one warning, I strongly suggest that you clean the mixer before the food dries on it. Also, as soon as you clean it, leave it to dry thoroughly before putting it away. I'm sure that one reason this hand blender is lasting so long is because I'm taking good care of it.

Editorial Review:

Ease in mashing potatoes or blending up smoothies is at hand with this Immersion blender by KitchenAid. The handheld design provides comfort and ease in operation while the powerful motor offers precision blending in powers from 1 to 9. The larger size offers an 8" immersion depth for working with larger pots. The generous, 5' cord lets you move from stovetop to counter to sink. Stainless steel blade quickly releases when done blending for easy cleanup. Includes a 3-cup clear mixing cup with lid. Imported. 17H".

A real performerrrf 5 out of 5 stars.

While I only purchased this blender a month ago,the the metal to metal design has been around a long time and is proven. I actually replaced an old Avocato Oster (circa 70's) blender that worked fine with a top of the line Kitchenaid three speed that I was finally glad to throw out. I have no axe to grind with Kitchenaid and own other of their products that work fine.
I don't care what brand you buy but make sure that both the cup and the gear drive are both made of metal - metal to metal. If either is plastic, you'll be tossing it in five years or less. (Kitchenaid)

Performance: tried crushing ice with this on high speed and it worked fabulously. Tried again on the low speed with the same results. Nice smooth ice and no chips.

Also just used it to make a fine powder from soda crackers for a meatball recipe. Perfect. Nice soft powder, no chunks of crackers.

My only other comment was price. If you do not need the Brushed Nickel, save the money ($20 dollars at least) and buy a colored one.They are identical in operation and function.

I've purchased a lot of products from Amazon but not sure this one was the best price. If I had shopped around I could have found this cheaper elsewhere. To me the so called free shipping of $9 was added to the price is all.

7-Speed Electronic Blender, Powerful Motor With Stable White Base, Touch Pad Control With Indicator Lights, Ice Crush Button, Pulse At Any Speed, Patented Stainless Steel Cutting Assembly, 40 OZ Glass Jar With Dripless Pour Spout, Press On Cover, 2 OZ Measured Pour Lid, 3-Year Limited Warranty.This SmartPower blender by Cuisinart has all the qualities of a great blender. It's powerful, easy to use, sturdy, and efficient. The tight-fitting cover can be pressed on without turning or twisting it into place, and we found that it did not leak even under heavy use. The 2-ounce pour lid allows you to measure and add ingredients neatly without removing the cover. The 40-ounce glass jar has a wide mouth to allow chunky ingredients to be poured. The locking ring is self-aligning, so the glass blender jar slides easily into position, and the leakproof rubber gasket holds the glass jar snugly in place for safe operation. High-quality, patented stainless-steel blades are strong enough for all bar blender tasks, from crushing ice to puréeing fruit. The heavy-duty motor base is strong enough to crush ice without liquid and is backed by a three-year warranty. The seven-speed touch pad control with indicator lights is easy to use and offers great versatility and a range of blending power. The pulse button allows you to pulse at any speed, for tighter control as you blend.

Disappointed 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I was looking for a fairly heavy-duty blender that would be able to crush ice for smoothies and mixed drinks. I also wanted the option of the food processor without having to add another appliance to my kitchen counter. I did a little bit of research before deciding on the Cuisinart and really thought that with the Cuisinart name I couldn't be disappointed. But I was. Let me start with what I *like* about the blender:
1. The buttons are sealed so they don't get stuck with sugar or debris.
2. The food processor is quick & easy to attach, the bowl is a reasonable size for small jobs.
3. The pitcher is heavy glass and very sturdy.

What I *don't* like:
1. When I run the blender or food processor the motor always smells like something's burning. May be an internal belt that's slipping--that's what it sounds/smells like.
2. The ice crusher feature isn't as effective as I'd hoped. Often leaves large chunks of ice while the rest gets crushed so small it melts.
3. Doesn't really blend. The blades only swirl the stuff at the very bottom & it takes a lot of jiggling or stirring to get it to pull in the rest of the ingredients on top.
4. VERY loud. For how ineffective this is at actually blending & crushing, it makes an awful lot of noise!
5. The chute for the food processor is direction-specific. What I mean is that the plastic piece you use to push the food down into the bowl is not symmetrical. It only fits in the opening one way and it's not immediately clear how it should be oriented. Annoying when you're trying to put it in quickly before food starts shooting out.

I definitely would NOT recommend this blender to anyone else. It is moderately functional and I can make do, but I'd rather not. I just don't use a blender often enough to justify buying a new one, so I'm stuck with this one for a while longer.

Editorial Review:

Two indispensable kitchen appliances in one, the Cuisinart food processor and blender will do all your slicing, dicing, shredding, and mixing for you. 40 oz. glass dripless pour spout jar. Ice crush button with pulse at any speed. 3-cup capacity work bowl with cover, feed tube, and pusher Stainless steel chopping blade. Reversible slicing/shredding disc. 7 speed. Style BFP-703.

I bought this item today and it died in my first try. The manual says not to hold the button for more than 50 seconds at a time, and maybe I let it run for 1 1/2 min. It got extremely hot and immiediately stopped working. If it can't run more than 50 seconds at a time, what can you do with it? I'm returning it right back tomorrow.

The Last Air Blender 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is a very powerful and reasonably priced hand blender. The detachable blade housing is easy to remove and clean up is simple. But BE CAREFUL! The blades are very sharp. (Early on, I sliced my finger on the blade while handwashing it.) My previous blender wasn't nearly as powerful as this one. All the more reason to be very careful when using this machine.

Editorial Review:

It’s never been easier to blend soups and smoothies, whip cream, and mix sauces and thick batters-the Waring Pro® Professional Immersion Blender features one multi-purpose stainless steel blade that does it all! Two speeds provide precision control while the combination of a contoured grip and lightweight housing makes working with this blender a pleasure. The stainless steel blade stays sharp and the blade guard provides an extra level of safety.

terrible performance 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I purchased this blender at costco and had high hopes. The blender is very loud and walks around the counter. The blender struggled with frozen strawberries and I needed to push the berries down into the blades every time I used it. The texture of the smoothie is rather coarse. The pouring design is terrible. I have to guide the smoothie with a spoon or else it spills. After 2 weeks the unit melted the blade unit into one piece and needed to be replaced. Also, the unit smoked every time I used it before the blade unit melted. I have since replaced this cuisinart with a kitchenAid 5 speed blender ksb550. The kitchenaid is awesome! This unit is far more powerful, crushes ice and frozen berries into a very smooth and evenly mixed smoothie, is quieter, never need to push down ingredients and pours out of the pitcher beautifully. I make very thick smoothies which I eat with a spoon and the kitchenaid doesn't struggle at all.

Editorial Review:

Count on Cuisinart for ultimate power and state of the art functionality. This 600 watt blender can power through your toughest blending jobs?including ice crushing. The large 50oz. glass jar gives you the capacity to double or triple recipes and features a dripless pour spout. Heavy duty cast metal and stainless steel construction is incredibly durable and adds sophistication to any kitchen. Count-up timer with continuous alarm. Push button controls. Model CBT-500.

LOVE IT! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I love this blender. It looks nice. It is easy to use. It blends frozen fruit, ice and protein powder wonderfully to make a smooth smoothies-no hunks. The powder we use is full of vitamins & minerals, so if you do not blend well you get lumps and powdery taste-this blender blends everything beautifully. We make smoothies almost every morning for breakfast and in the summer, this is often our dinner as well, so we keep the blender out all the time - this is nice size so it fits on my counter nicely. It's easy to clean. Even my teenage son can use, clean and put away without any trouble.

Much Better Than Expected 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this blender today even after the salesmen recommended a wide bottom Cuisinart blender for smoothies. Of course I'm a stickler for technology, and I though that this blender was really cool. The salesman warned that this model wouldn't blend ice very well, but he couldn't be more wrong. I just made a smoothie on the "Frozen Drinks" setting and it came out amazing! I then tried the "Ice Crush" setting and it was amazing. I put a few ice cubes in the blender and pressed the button and the ice turned into snow in less than 30 seconds. This blender works amazing, is built solid and looks great. I definitely recommend getting this blender, it's awesome!!!
