Cuisinart Hand Blenders Smart Stick® Two-Speed Hand Blender

I didn't have space for a full blender, so this is an excellent alternative, I use it mostly for puree'ing soup ingredients. I had another manufacturers stick blender but it wasn't as powerful and more difficult to clean.

Good for creating drinks from fresh fruit, mixing with yogurt. I only wish it would beat egg whites to a stiff consistency. Still looking for the ideal device to do that easily. But this is a very good little mixer for liquids. Cuisinart means quality. I like all of my Cuisinart devices. Given a choice of a similar item I'd go with Cuisinart, regardless of price difference. It's worth every penny for this quality.
