Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CSB-76BC SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender, Brushed Chrome
Customer Review: Hand blender
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, what a great hand blender. We had purchased a hand blender several years ago of a different manufacture. It had seen it's share of milk shakes, home made salad dressings, pancake mixes and a host of other such recipes which make a hand mixer one of those products you would rather not be without. Needless to say when our previous mixer was no longer usable, my wife put me to the task of finding a new one. I did some research and quickly learned that Cuisinart was one of those trusted brands with a company name that stood behind it's products. Amazon was our choice of avenues to find the new hand blender because of all the features you can utilize on comparison shopping, price, delivery options and easy payment. This really was a no brainer, but it certainly has been a hit with my wife, and I have gotten credit for something that was really a breeze to purchase.Customer Review: Works fine, but not "Chrome"
Summary: 4 Stars
Just received my item today, it works fine for milkshakes, eggs, batters, etc. As noted by another reviewer, the top body of the blender is NOT metal, it is plastic. The shaft and blending component - which is detachable for cleaning - is all metal, but the part you hold in your hand is indeed gray plastic. In the photos, it certainly looks like chrome, doesn't it?
Just a note that when you use the included blending cup or anything else, put the blender in almost all the way down to the bottom before turning it on, otherwise it will splash.
I like having a one-touch off/on button, when you let go, the power turns off, so it reduces the chance to blend a finger or accidentally leaving it on.
Other than the plastic body, I'm happy with the item. We'll see what happens in a few months after a few batches of soup and smoothies :)
Customer Review: Great Disposable Gadget
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a wonderful kitchen appliance for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped working. I would rather pay more
money and get a longer lasting unit than settle for this cheap piece of junk. I thought Cuisinart was supposed
to be a good brand. It couldn't whip my cottage cheese, keffir and flax oil concoction without burning out. (We're
talking about the consistency of yogurt here...)
I hope Cuisinart re-tools this thing because it could be a really handy kitchen gadget if it had a long life.
This is the first online review I've ever done. I feel obliged to review items now because I rely on them SO MUCH
when I buy products. I hope these reviews we do raise the bar for ALL PRODUCTS and make manufacturers produce higher quality consumer goods. Especially brand names such as Cuisinart. What were they thinking?
Customer Review: Why didn't I get one before now?!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love, love, love my new Cuisinart Immersion Hand Blender! Why didn't I get one before now? Had I known how much I would like it, I would certainly have purchased one before. It's so easy to use and clean. I like that you can put it down in your stainless steel pot while it's on the stove and blend the pot contents then and there. I used my immersion hand blender in the hot custard for chocolate pie and it ended up being so smooth that it was like a silk pie! Also, you've just gotta have one of these for beating eggs. Crack your eggs and pour them into the cup that comes with the blender and blend them for just a few seconds. Wonderful! I would recommend this to anybody who does anything in the kitchen even if it's just scrambling eggs! It has plenty of power to blend cooked vegetables for soups and thick custards for pies.Customer Review: Great product- Excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
I love making soup, especially the pureed type. I had been looking for a more convenient way to puree my soups and had my eye on Montel's mixer (which I hear is not worth much of a penny) and then the good old Vitamix (which reviewers seem to prefer). Then I thought- wouldn't it be nice if I could puree it right in the pot. Two days later my friend was over and she says "Why don't you get an immersion blender". Duh! I have no idea why I hadn't noticed them before! At a fractional cost of the other blenders I mentioned, it is one of the best kitchen appliances I have ever purchased. I love it, and have now gone SOUP CRAZY!
I wasn't sure which brand to get, but I followed the reviewers advice about this cuisanart CSB-76BC and I have no problems with it. It seems to be sturdy, works very well and cleans up in a breeze.
