![]() It costs the same as the Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick, but the results it produced were unfortunately not as good. The UTALENT 5-in-1 is an average personal blender, if not quite mediocre in the segment. The capability of emulsifying mayonnaise and whipping egg whites of this blender were also very impressive thanks to the included whisk attachment-an add-on that you won’t have with the Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick. Its results, including the soup, smoothie, and nut milk, came out silky, but there is still a smattering of tiny unprocessed bits remaining if you ran each of them through a strainer. The KOIOS 4-in-1 performed similarly to the Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick in most of our tests. ![]() The Cuisinart Smart Stick Compared to Other Immersion Blenders Therefore, we had to let it rest every 60 seconds, and this was so inconvenient. And since blending frozen fruit was a prolonged procedure, it took a toll on the motor. At some points, this blender demanded we temporarily stop to dislodge the food trapped in its blade guard’s holes. There was also a problem in the smoothie test. Indeed, no other blenders we tested created as much mess as the Cuisinart. Together with the absurdly-designed blade guard, this caused us lots of splatter every single time we moved our hand. Likewise, in the hot soup test, the suction force created by the blender was so excessive that it entirely threw off our momentum when we were struggling to pull it out. In particular, when the mayonnaise began to thicken, the blender suctioned itself tightly to the beaker’s bottom, making it a bit trickier for us to move its blending wand around. More often than not, we felt very annoyed when having to stop blending if we wanted to speed up or slow down.Īnother drawback was that all sorts of our blending motions, from stirring to drawing up, weren’t performed with ease. Given that the dial’s location is entirely separated from the On/Off button, it’s also quite tough for use to use the blender, adjust its speed, and hold the beaker at the same time. That paired-button operation forced us to use two hands in some cases - certainly not what we’d call user-friendly. ![]() The locking button must be held down along with the operational button. Unlike others, this blender has an additional locking button which acts as a safety mechanism. Not only that, but we also needed quite a lot of practice to operate it smoothly. 8.0Blending ShaftĪt first sight, we thought this blender would be very easy to use due to its simple-designed interface.Unexpectedly enough, however, we couldn’t figure out how to activate the device until we consulted the user manual. It’s tough for one person to use the blender, adjust its speed, and hold the beaker at the same time, so we had to stop blending to speed up or slow down. That being said, the slider also makes this blender more complicated to use, especially when the dial’s location is entirely separated from the On/Off button. We’d prefer more than two settings since multiple speeds give us more control over the food’s texture. The Cuisinart Smart Stick also allows us to switch between the two speed options (Low and High) with the slide control. Unexpectedly enough, we couldn’t figure out how to activate the device until we consulted the user manual. At first sight, we thought this blender would be very easy to use since its two-button interface looks really intuitive.
