I have an earlier version of this cordless immersion blender. I loved the idea of a cordless model, but I found some big drawbacks. On a full charge, the battery would run out of juice after about 5 minutes. So if you want to puree several batches of food at once, you’re out of luck until you wait for the battery to charge.
After about a year, my battery no longer held a charge while the unit was in storage. Now I have to plan ahead and plug in my blender the day before I want to use it. (It takes a long time to recharge the battery.)
Hopefully these battery issues have been remedied in the newer version, but it’s something to keep in mind. I’m buying another immersion blender with a cord and junking this one.

I use a hand blender every day to mix protein shakes; this cordless model has only one setting and has less power than the KitchenAid corded model on the lowest setting. Still the Cuisinart seems fine for the task of mixing liquids, but I would not expect it to be any good at chopping foods. I’m a bit concerned if the battery wears down over time if it will be up to the task even when fully charged.
Also not ergonomic at all. If you have small hands BEWARE as the grip is very big. The power switch is on the very top and you must continuously hold it down (for safety, I guess.)
Of course it is handy to not have the cord.

This is an amazing kitchen tool. I have used it mainly for chopping bell peppers, onions and others veggies. Amazingly quick and easy to clean up. Love it.

Wish I’d paid attention to the review that said it was a large stick. The unit is too large and too heavy for me. On first use, the blade attachment wobbles. Doesn’t feel safe to say the least. I also don’t like rechargable after using it. Most of the time when I want to use a stick, it’s impromptu and having to either have it plugged in all the time or wait a few minutes for it to charge is useless. I definitely have buyer’s remorse on this one.

I am so irritated right now. I’ll bet this is a wonderful product but mine was defective out of the box. The hand motor wouldn’t properly attach to the attachments rendering it utterly useless. I am so, so disappointed. I don’t know if I need to purchase a new hand motor or if I need new attachments. Very disappointed. Cuisinart is a good name in kitchen aids and I have a few other products made by them but this is the first time I bought a product EVER by any company that didn’t work at all out of the box. What a waste of money!
