Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender With Whisk & Chopper Attachments (HB-154PC)
Customer Review: Absoluate piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
If I could give it less than one star, I would.
I had an ancient Braun MultiMix that I loved. Worked beautifully for abut 20 years, and finally died a good death. Unfortunately, the Brauns are no longer available domestically. Big bummer, that.
I asked a friend for a replacement for my birthday in summer 2009, and due to reviews, specifically asked for a KA model, with the stick blender, chopper attachment and whisk. Unfortunately, I got this pile of junk instead.
The stick blender is probably OK. I don't really use that too much, but when I do use it, it does what I want it to. The whisk is meh.....I could live without it. I wanted the mini-chopper/processor option more. But, after about a year of use, it croaked last week. I treated the damn thing with kid gloves. It irked me no end that I couldn't clean the top part (the gear gizzie) really well. Sorry, but most of what I do in my mini-processor is messy....dressings, vinaigrettes, chopping meat, etc. Stuff that doesn't take well to just wiping it down with a "damp rag" (Cuisinart's suggested cleaning method....oy).
I'd say in the 13 months I owned this piece of junk, I used the mini-chopper 10 or 15 times. As I said, I was *very* careful cleaning it. Never submerged, never inundated, etc., etc., etc. The gears seized up tight as a drum, and just whirred and whirred and whirred, never spinning the blade. The power unit motor was turning, but the gears in the top of the chopper were frozen. Nothing I could do would free them. So into the trash the chopper unit went, and I'm about to buy a Black & Decker stand alone unit.
IMO, Cuisinart is coasting on their reputation, and the products they are putting out now are no where near what their quality once was. I'm sure I'd have been much happier with the KA I actually wanted, or with the stand-alone Cuisinart stick blender and a stand alone mini chopper. Do NOT buy this combo !
