 Great idea in theory. Poor execution.Sep 13, 2010
By Mark A. Rocka
Like many others here, I used my Cuisinart Smart Stick very little before the teeth on the gear in the housing stripped out. I'm guessing I didn't even get to use it 10 times, but since those 10 times were spread out over a period of about 9 months and I had tossed the receipt, I'm out $50.
Shame on Cuisinart for making such a powerful little motor and installing plastic gears for it to drive. It'd be a great product if it weren't for this one, seriously fatal flaw.

 Wonderful!Aug 13, 2008
By LAR
I purchased this because I had a Kitchenaid mini-prep and Kitchenaid Stick Blender and had minimum space. I replaced two appliances with one. There isn't a meal I prepare that I don't reach for this and absolutely love it. Have never had any problems with the ease of disengaging the attachments from the handle. I really like the way the chopping bowl does not have a hole in the bottom.

Absoluate piece of junkSep 25, 2010
By RobertaJ
If I could give it less than one star, I would.
I had an ancient Braun MultiMix that I loved. Worked beautifully for abut 20 years, and finally died a good death. Unfortunately, the Brauns are no longer available domestically. Big bummer, that.
I asked a friend for a replacement for my birthday in summer 2009, and due to reviews, specifically asked for a KA model, with the stick blender, chopper attachment and whisk. Unfortunately, I got this pile of junk instead.
The stick blender is probably OK. I don't really use that too much, but when I do use it, it does what I want it to. The whisk is meh.....I could live without it. I wanted the mini-chopper/processor option more. But, after about a year of use, it croaked last week. I treated the damn thing with kid gloves. It irked me no end that I couldn't clean the top part (the gear gizzie) really well. Sorry, but most of what I do in my mini-processor is messy....dressings, vinaigrettes, chopping meat, etc. Stuff that doesn't take well to just wiping it down with a "damp rag" (Cuisinart's suggested cleaning method....oy).
I'd say in the 13 months I owned this piece of junk, I used the mini-chopper 10 or 15 times. As I said, I was *very* careful cleaning it. Never submerged, never inundated, etc., etc., etc. The gears seized up tight as a drum, and just whirred and whirred and whirred, never spinning the blade. The power unit motor was turning, but the gears in the top of the chopper were frozen. Nothing I could do would free them. So into the trash the chopper unit went, and I'm about to buy a Black & Decker stand alone unit.
IMO, Cuisinart is coasting on their reputation, and the products they are putting out now are no where near what their quality once was. I'm sure I'd have been much happier with the KA I actually wanted, or with the stand-alone Cuisinart stick blender and a stand alone mini chopper. Do NOT buy this combo !

Most Frequently Used Kitchen GizmoJan 14, 2010
By CoastalKate
I don't know how I lived without this product. My sister gave it to me Christmas eve and I have been using it continuously ever since. I have Fibromyalgia and sometimes the pain can be so intense that it's difficult to chop an onion or even stir eggs for an omelet. It's lightweight and easy to clean. The attachments give the stick the most versatility. From chopping nuts and onions or making blended vegetable soups to whipping up a quick Hollandaise sauce and the oh so trendy foams, I feel like I'm back in control of my kitchen. I think if Julia and Paul Child were still alive you'd find it in their Cambridge kitchen. One caveat: I did find I needed to go out and purchase the metal bowls with the rubber bottoms as the stick is so powerful it can get away from you. That said, when you're making a pureed vegetable soup or a gravy, for example, you can put the metal blender right into the pan and blend away. Simply put, I love it and hope you do, too. My new-found kitchen adventures have only just begun. Cheers.

 Don't expect a long life from this gadgetJan 02, 2011
By Margot Harrington
It's a beautifully powerful piece of equipment, but my love for it burned hard and fast after it crapped out after a only year of light use. Fell victim to the same stripped gears that other reviewers complained about. It's a design flaw plain and simple, if you're looking to buy, it *will* be broken in a matter of time. Look out for telltale melting plastic smell and overheating motor. Frankly I'm surprised it didn't start smoking! Lamesauce. I'm done with Cusinart, will be purchasing a Kitchenaid replacement.
