This Hand Blenders give to us some advantages, like this :
1. A Very Capable Immersion Blender
Mixing - The two speed operation is handy. For making soups, you can do most of the job on low speed, even with chunky vegetables. This makes it easier to control how thick the final product is, and it makes for less possibility of splash-ups. The switch feel is sure (good tactile feel). The blade is stocky and sharp - it looks like it's built for business. I blended a large pot of tomato black bean garlic soup down in under 30 seconds.
Motor - Plenty of power. It's quiet compared to my last blender (especially on low), which was 3x the price. I cannot comment on durability yet, as this is a new model.
Size/weight/feel - Hefty, but not heavy. It has a quality feel with a nice balance. If it were too light, it would feel cheap.
Cord - Long enough to get the job done, but not too long to make wrapping up the cord a hassle.
Assembly/Cleaning - Easy to attach/detach. The lock-up feels solid. So far, there's little mechanical play in...
2. Plastic Gear Problem!
I have had my Smart Stick for few weeks and am loving it! So easy to use, clean, and store. I am enjoying many more healthy smoothies in the morning, along with delicious soups for lunch. I learned NOT to lift it up too high when blending. (Opps!)
Easy applesauce....I peeled and cut apples, simmered them down, added some cinnamon, and nutmeg.....and gave them a whirl. Delicious! Also made a sweet potato and carrot mix, simmered, drained, added some ginger, and easily whipped it into a side dish my grandchildren loved!
So far...so very good!! Glad I bought it. Arrived promptly and no problems.
Update: 4/23/13: Ignore the words above!!! After maybe 10 uses, none of them on challenging mixes, my Smart Stick has broken.The plastic gear inside looks rough and ragged. The blade barely turns. It happened as I attempted to blend cooked carrots into a soup. I never used it on anything that seemed too solid, so I am very disappointed as I really liked it. Some of...

Stick blender works better than any full size blender I've owned
I had one of those combo food processor/blenders die on me a couple months ago, and I had to decide how to replace both items. In the end, I went with this stick blender, and I'm thrilled I did. Not only is it nice to store something so small, but it's so much easier than a blender. Nothing ever gets stuck at the bottom since I just move the stick around. It makes soups a ton easier since I don't have to do any transfers. My only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that you have to have the right amount of stuff to blend to make sure the stick is fully immersed (or else make a crazy mess with everything flying everywhere). I had a smaller soup recipe that did require that I hold the pot up so the stuff collected on one side and I could blend with the stick. Still, I think that was easier than transferring to a blender to puree, and I also think of the countless times my blender would just stop because stuff got stuck around the blades. No more with this! I've only had it a short while,...
