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 purées 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.
