This is a must-have appliance in my kitchen. One recommendation, make sure you do not submerge the blender wand in water. It will last longer. it comes with all the additional tools I might find useful ever now and then like the whisk or even doing purée right from the pot.

I use this all the time and love how easy it is to clean. I can take it out and use for quick mixes without having to use my big mixers. Takes no space to store we well.

Ce petit appareil est vraiment pratique, presque indispensable. Que ce soit pour faire des soupes ou des aliments pour bébé, Cuisinart a frappé dans le mille avec son Smart Stick. Il est tres facile d'entretien et prend peu de place dans l'armoire. Belles couleurs.

I purchased a red Smart Stick and mainly use it for blending soups and congee (Chinese rice porridge). In the past, I had to transfer hot soup into my blender in small portions, but this makes it's much easier to blend the entire pot. Although, you do need to ensure the pot is full enough so the blade is fully submerged in soup to prevent hot liquids from flying out.

Clean up is also a breeze - just pop off the blade and wash!
