Cool Kitchen Gadget!!
By MidwestMom
I purchased this product mainly for making soups. I hated having to put soup into the blender in bathces to puree it. Not only was this time consuming but I ordinarily made a huge mess in the process. Well this product solved that problem for me. I made a soup the other day and applied this product to blend the soup right in the pot! While I was nervous when it comes to “only” being competent to run the blender without disruption for 50 seconds, I learned that 50 seconds is more than sufficient time for this item to blend a whole pot of soup, in fact it only took regarding 15-20 seconds.
I have also employed the grinder attachment to mince fresh parsley, and have also made a smoothie using the included measuring cup and blender.
Although the manual states that you can not run this product for more than a sure amount of time (depending on the function), I have learned that this product may accomplish those tasks effortlessly in the time frames given (it took 5 seconds to mince my parsley!).
I cannot comment on the warranty as I have not had a problem with this item, but for the price if it fails I would most likely just buy a new one.
My only complaint would be that the whisk attachment seems very flimsy, but I have not genuinely applied the whisk attachment yet, so I assume that it will work just fine for light tasks such as whisking egg whites. Although based on the feel of it I would not use it for much else.
However, I have a sentiment that I am going to proceed to find uses for this terrifi little gadget. For the price this item is a outstanding buy.

Rubbish!
By Grainne B. Redmond
I would like to give it no stars but that’s an option on Amazon rating. Bought in May (but only used when it comes to 4 times since then as we were away for a long summer). Used to blend tinned tomatoes. Worked fine couple of times then blades in blender, chopper and whisk turned very tardily and seemed to squeal when motor ran. Called up Cuisinart and they sent me a new kit. Same thing happened. So I called again and they sent me chopper lid and whisk attachment (only blender had worked in new kit). Now I’ve the handstick that works very well (for how long though?), chopper grinder doesn’t work at all and neither does whisk. I looked inside the motor shaft and these “stripped teeth” everyone in the one-star category keeps on regarding are likewise looking that way in mine (I hadn’t looked in the basi one I sent back). Unfortunately I hadn’t read the bad reviews before I purchased it, and it seems that this “teeth stripping” is a continual problem with most of their hand sticks. I’ve already expended $20 amidst sending it back the original time and then receiving the new parts….I’d like to ask for a total refund for the now $70+ I’ve expended on it but I think such a request is futile.

a wondrous tool
By W. Cadbury
I don’t recognise in regards to the warranty stuff, and I’ve only had this a week or so, but I love it. I always hated ladling chunky soup into the blender, thence into another bowl while I did further batches, making a mess at each stage. With this I did a big bowl of soup, put the hand blender into it and in perchance 15 seconds it was perfectly pureed. Moreover, a note in the manual led me to using it each morning to froth the almond milk I use in my latte, at which it does a fantastic job–again, 15 seconds or so and way better than you get at Starbucks (though a good barrista may still do a better occupation with steam). Terrific.
