hand/immersion blenders

smashley_mashley

I am looking at purchasing a hand/immersion blender and was looking at the kitchen aid 5 speed (which is on sale T my Costco for $89.99 regular $129.99-149.99) or a Cuisinart smart stick...

Anyone use either of these or have suggestions / feedback on others?

Yup love my Braun immersion blender. Perfect for soups, sauces and smoothies. Though I use my proper blender for tough smoothies with kale or chia seeds.

I have the Cuisinart Smart Stick and I love it. I use it to make tomato soup and it blends it all very well. No complaints.

Mine is a Toastmaster brand and I love it. My only comment would be a longer stick would be more useful when you are using a deep stock pot.

I love my immersion blender. Not a name brand. Just paid $1 at a yardsale. It's just so handy. Wish I had gotten one sooner.

I have a cuisinart and it is probably one of my favorite kitchen tools- and I have a ton!

I also have a Cuisinart, it's the greatest.

I have Cuisinart.
Has two speeds, on and off. All you need.

Great toy to add to the kitchen tools, I probably use mine 3-4 a week now.

I got the Costco one, love it!

I use one (I have the Cuisinart) and love it, but I've never compared it to another. They are probably both fine, great tool.

I have an inexpensive (~$40) 2-speed Kitchen Aid which I use a lot. But I am itching to upgrade to one with a whisk attachment and a chopper.

Braun all the way. I got it as a wedding shower present 10 years ago and it's never done me wrong. It came with a whisk attachment and a mini food processor that I use all the time.

I have a plain on-off one, I think it came with my food processor? I've never missed having extra speeds but I do appreciate that it's nice and long.
