Cuisinart CSB-33 Quick Prep 2-Speed Handheld Blender

Pros: Fun little gadget, easy to store and clean
Cons: Won't replace anything you currently own

I was taken in by the infomercials when stick blenders first became popular. The idea of making whipped cream from skim milk sounded like a great idea to me. So when they finally made their way to discount stores I purchased the Cuisinart Stick ...

Pros: You Can Blend & Or Puree Right At The Stove!
Cons: Power Cord Could Get In The Way.

Pros: Functional Quality and Easy to Clean

Pros: easy, cleanup is simple, stores well
Cons: uses are limited

I am a fan of cooking shows, and I'd begun to notice more and more TV chefs pulling out something they called an "immersion blender." It looked as if you could blend foods right in the pan with it, rather than having to dirty the several parts...

Pros: Great for small blending jobs.
