What is Reddit's opinion of Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick Hand Blender, 2018, White?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you are in the US? just get a good kitchen scale. It all comes down to weight.

and the stick blender/immersion blenders have really gone up in price!! I used to get a Cuisinart for between $30. to $40 dollars. now they are like $70.!

I have had one for about 7 or 8 years. Works Great!

here is one for a pretty good price!

for the hot stuff I would go with a stick blender (much smaller and very powerful easy to clean etc.) for the other stuff salsa etc. get a mini prep (mini food processor).

something like these?? the stick blender will puree a whole pot of soup in about 2 to 3 minutes. maybe longer. they are very powerful. I use mine all the time for this kind of stuff.

and for whole spices and dried chilies try a coffee grinder. they are GREAT for that stuff. cheap and small

like this one

I know it is a lot of stuff. but they are really good at those projects. and don't take up a lot os space.
