I had this blender, bought new from some other retailer a year ago or so, and thought it was crap. I was so disappointed in this thing that I vowed never to buy any Cuisinart product again, because I hold a grudge like that.
I bought one of these new last year and love it. The hand blender makes quick work of avacados for guacamole (oh and for making shakes), and the small chopper makes quick work of ginger, garlic, onion, etc.
I used the whisk for the first time last week and made a huge mess. Clearly you need much deeper bowls
I have one of these, and is about 4 years old, and it is now being used as a power whisk exclusively. The plastic gears in the chopper accessory sheared apart due too much play, and the power unit starts stinking to high heaven of fried electrics with the stick attachment on high for 1+ minutes of use.
I don’t see it in the images, but does this unit come with the plastic protective end cap to allow it be used in teflon pans without scratching the surface?
The unit I see at Costco does and I think that would be important to have for my intended use.
I have one of these, and it’s great for blending soups in the pan, making milkshakes, blending eggs for omelets, etc.
Clean up is easy, as I just immerse it in hot sudsy water, run for a few seconds, and rinse.
I have not used the chopper attachment any (I have two different sized food processors for that) and the whisk DOES NEED to be in a deep bowl, held over the sink, with protective eye gear and hazmat outfit in place before turning on.
I got this the last time it was for sale. I paid 29.99 for it so todays sale is a marginal improvement from that price. I love mine. I JUST used it a few minutes ago to whisk some eggs for my breakfast. I haven’t tried the chopper attachment.
