4 out of 5 stars I wish   July 15, 2008
I've had several hand blenders over the years, including a different Cuisinart one. I like this but I really wish it had come with a wall hanger. It takes a lot of space in a drawer.

Based on the picture, I thought it was cordless. Big mistake. It's not.

I think I'll be returing this.



4 out of 5 stars This hand blender is easy and fun to use!   July 2, 2008

This hand blender is awesome! I should have bought one earlier! I made a delicious smoothie this morning and it's such an easier clean-up job than a regular, bulky blender! Perfect for individuals. Can't wait until I try to make gravy and soups!


1 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by brand name - it's a piece of junk   May 28, 2008

I thought by buying a higher end product I would get a decent product but NO, this blender is a piece of junk. The first one broke within six weeks of purchase with daily use. I was able to return for a new one and that one also broke in about four weeks of almost daily use. The motor body does not fully snap into the accesory being used after time and it becomes worthless.

Such a waste of money!



2 out of 5 stars Ok for about 9 months   May 26, 2008

I got this for soapmaking. It's liquid so it's not too thick and shouldn't really stress the motor. It worked well (except for the bell scratching my pots, but it's stainless steel so that's how it goes) until about the 9th month.
Then it started rattling like something was loose inside. It wasn't the blade, it's actually inside, it seems like the vibration over the months caused something to loosen up.
There's no point in returning it because it's not cost effective. Just wanted others to be aware that it won't last out year. I only used mine for liquid and only about once a week. No durability :(



5 out of 5 stars Do not use with anything hard and dry   May 24, 2008

I tried to grind cat dry food with this and the motor burned out. I did not see any warning against this in the instructions. I returned the blender to Bed Bath and Beyond and they replaced it, no questions asked. They did require a receipt with a date within the warranty period.

This is a wonderful blender if you don't try to do heavy duty grinding with it - like the cat kibble that I tried to grind up. Other food items NOT TO GRIND UP would be hard nuts like almonds, chunk salt, or anything that is as hard as a raw carrot.

I use this twice a day to grind up wet cat food for a cat that has lost most of her teeth. This works wonderfully. I just run the metal grinding part under the faucet and this cleans it up quickly.

This also solves the problem of how to make gravy that is not lumpy. Just put a few tablespoons of flour in the container with water and blend. Add this to what you are cooking. I struggled to make good gravy for 25 years - and this is the instant solution. Bravo for Cuisinart !!!

I work in the field of quality assurance. I was surprised that the instructions for using this product did not say what not to grind up with this blender. It is possible that other people who have posted that the blender broke on them may have done the same as I did and tried to grind up something that was beyond the capability of this motor.

I have been using this product twice a day for more than 6 months and it works wonderfully. This is an excellent product and reasonably priced.
