Blending and mixing have never been smarter! The Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender has a new, higher 300-watt motor that blends smoothies and purees soups in seconds, easily powering through even heavy-duty tasks. The two-speed slide control is simple to operate – just one touch shifts from high to low – and the longer stainless-steel blending shaft reaches deep into pots, pitchers, and bowls so there are fewer dishes to wash! The new, improved, and easier to operate blade guard provides the ultimate in safety and convenience.
