We have used this way more than we expected. Couldn't live without it

Hard to get blender started as there are two buttons to press at the same in order to start Blending.

I had a very old immersion blender that was perfectly okay but wasn't as powerful as I'd have liked. This Cuisinart has shown what I was missing all this time. Highly recommended. Solid performer.

1. It did exactly what I wanted it to do. 2. I have small hands; it was comfortable to use. 3. I was happy to find an option that did not include an array of unnecessary attachments which duplicate appliances that I already have.

I’m new to immersion type blenders but want to make vegan cheese and more so I bought this one because I wanted something quality and lasting. So far so good!
