I was looking for a powerful, easy to clean, cordless hand blender to replace my aging corded Kitchenaid hand blender that served me well for about 8 years but the cord started fraying. I wanted something that provided the same power but without the cord. I looked at the both the Kitchenaid KHB2561OB cordless version and this Cuisinart and ultimately chose the Cuisinart since it had a larger diameter blade and a better warranty.
PROS
- POWER, more than enough power to turn anything into a puree, I make mixed drinks with ice cubes weekly and these turn the cubes into a nice slushy.
- CORDLESS, no more wrapping cords around my neck so that the cord doesn't accidentally dip into my pot or trying to find an outlet near what you are trying to blend. Battery run time is 20 minutes, unless you are working in a commercial kitchen, no one needs to blend anything for 20 minutes. There is an indicator that tells you around how much battery you have remaining (Green: 75-100%, Orange: 25-75%, Red: <25%). Take about 2.5 hrs to fully charge from empty.
- SAFETY, this may be a con for some or a pro for the safety minded. I personally like it since it prevents accidental trigger fingers. You have to hold down the safety button first, then press the main button before it turns on. It takes some getting use to but after a few uses, it'll become second nature. You can pulse the blender without having to re-press the safety switch. You have about one second of downtime before the safety re-engages. I have small kids so any extra safety is a plus.
-CLEANING, easy to clean, separate the bottom wand and run it under the sink. The top is stainless steel and easy to wipe down.
-WARRANTY, 3 years vs 2 for the Kitchenaid.
CONS
- SIZE, this stick is long! Storage might be a problem if you want to store it in one piece but I store it in two pieces in a drawer and its not a problem.
- ACCESSORIES, the Kitchenaid model comes with more accessories like the chopper attachment

A safe, powerful cordless blender
So far it has been used just for some pureeing and whipping, my sister plans to use it for soap making later. The good and bad news is it has a safety device so you can't have your finger in the razor sharp blade and turn it on at the same time. It is a pound heavier than the kitchenaid since it uses 2 replaceable 18650 cells instead of unprotected Lipo cells. This makes it almost impossible to catch fire in your hand, and if the batteries wear out, you can replace them for about $9 on Amazon. A well built and very safe machine IMHO
