Great For a Main Purpose

This particular immersion blender is a fairly good choice. The fact that the blade is detachable makes cleanup quite simple, however the plastic food processor is a made of a cheap plastic that will barely survive five gentle hand washings.

Standard Use - 4/5 - The blade attachment snaps easily every time, and after two years of use, this is still the case. When looking at the material, it is a heavy gauge plastic that is designed to take a bit of kitchen abuse. The cord is long enough to allow for a decent distance leading into the pot.

Advertised Features - 1/5 - If you think you're saving money with the food processor attachment, look elsewhere. The plastic is incredibly thin and will not survive any modest temperature adjustment (don't add a hot or cold item to this). Cracks will ensue after a few washings if this attachment survives some basic use.

All in all, the price is incredible for a nicely powered immersion blender. The fact that it detaches is a great option for cleanup, but the attachments are not even worth giving a second though.

I bought our Cuisinart CSB-77 Hand Blender in 2004. My wife and I has been using this particular model to this date and have never encountered any problem at all. So portable and convenient, and really an excellent tool in the kitchen to move around with...and very easy to clean after use!
Chopper is not dishwasher-safe

This Cuisinart CSB-77 is my fourth immersion blender in 15 years. It is a terrible example of the type. I love immersion (stick) blenders and use one several times daily. I have one here in the US and one in my kitchen abroad; they replace two predecessors which have worn out over the years. I had always owned the ones made by Braun, which I've had in two different versions, with tons of attachments and several chopper bowl sizes. The Brauns also were more powerful (400 watts). But sadly the Braun model is discontinued, and I bought this one because of the chopper bowl and the Cuisinart reputation. It is awful. I wish I hadn't bought it. Why?
1. The metal tips of the blender end are very sharp and scratch the insides of my pots.
2. The unit seems underpowered and slow compared to the Braun.
3. It has only one speed, not the variable settings of the Braun.
4. It has very few attachments--and only one chopper bowl size.
5. And worst of all, the black, domed lid of the chopper is not dishwasher safe or immersible in water. The underside gets dirty from chopping and is very hard to clean--disgusting.

In sum, this was a complete waste of money. I am going to try to find an old Braun model on Ebay.
Useless warranty should be against the law

Ditto, ditto, ditto. What more can be said? What a disappointment in Cuisinart. You think you are buying a reputable brand but it stops working after 3 months and when you look at the warranty you find you have to pay more in shipping to get satisfaction than you paid for the product. This has definately put up a huge warning sign for me as regards purchasing ANY Cuisinart product. If you have the money to throw away go ahead and buy this product.

I purchased this Smart Stick as a compliment to a very high priced mixer. I have found that the Cuisinart has taken over numerous tasks previously assigned to the mixer. The Cuisinart is well constructed, comfortable to hold and very easy to clean. The wisk attachment saves future carpel tunnel issues. Another easy purchase from Amazon.
