Hand blender
Cuisinart CSB-175R
Best Hand blender – High-End – 100 $ to 190 $
Why We Chose It
Cuisinart's red hand blender is the kitchen gadget for those who like their appliances like their coffee: strong, reliable, and with a bit of a kick. With a 300-watt motor, it’s not going to blend your bank account, just your soups and smoothies. Its stainless steel shaft reaches into the deepest pots and pitchers, so you won’t have to perform culinary yoga to make a smoothie. The two-speed control is perfect for the indecisive cook who can't decide between fast and furious or slow and steady. And that ergonomic handle? It's like a handshake from a friend who never overstays their welcome. Sure, it’s corded, but think of it as a tether to reality in a world full of wireless chaos. In the realm of hand blenders, this is the one that says, 'I work hard, not overpriced.'
