(5 stars) - Fantastic soup blending right in the pot!
I just got this tool a couple of days ago and used it for the first time to prepare cream of spinach soup. I have never had a blender stick before, and am amazed at how powerful it is. In the past I have made giant messes blending cream of tomato soup in batches in the blender, and those days are over now that I have this tool. I noticed some reviewers mentioned trouble with ice cubes posing problems and lightweight bowls getting launched in the kitchen ... I can imagine how terrible that would be. I plan to use this tool in a heavy enameled iron dutch oven, and maybe for gravies occasionally. Perhaps a regular counter-top blender is better for icy drinks. I am completely delighted with the purchase, and the price is sensational.

(5 stars) - Love this!
The Cuisinart SmartStick 200 watt Immersion Hand Blender is powerful enough to blend all kinds of soups in just minutes. It does everything I hoped it would. The price was reasonable compared to other brands. It is easy to operate and clean. I have made Cream of broccoli soup, Roasted red pepper soup, potato soup and they all turned out smooth and good.

(5 stars) - Great!
I bought this to blend soups and am very happy with it. The blending part detaches making it easier to clean.

(5 stars) - Loving the Cuisinart SmartStick
I am really happy with this product, especially considering the price. I've also used the KitchenAid stick blender which costs at least $25 more, but this Cuisinart has worked just as well for my needs. I've used it to blend large batches of soup and also to make smoothies in a cup. It is definitely not as heavy duty as the KitchenAid and only has one speed. The top housing is a very light weight plastic as are the buttons and that makes it feel a little cheap. However, as I said before, it works great for what I need it for and also the bottom detaches for easy cleaning.

(2 stars) - Worked great. 6 times.
I used this stick blender about 6 times. I liked it quite a bit. Plenty powerful for what I needed to do and easily cleaned. However, after putting it back together on the 7th time, the mechanisms didn't quite engage correctly or something and the plastic gears got stripped. It smoked and spun itself into oblivion. I'm not sure if I can find the receipt, so I hope Cuisinart will have mercy on me. I haven't had it more than a few months.
