Item works exactly as you'd expect. Blends things quite easily and works well when you don't want to use and wash a full sized blender. Excellent for use in pizza sauce or smoothies using fresh berries. I do NOT recommend it for frequent use with ice chunks, thick milkshake, or smoothies using frozen berries . . . You'll burn out your motor that way. If you have to blend something such as ice cream or frozen berries make sure they're a bit thawed and not as solid as ice. The one big flaw of this device is that it has a safety button that's absolutely horrifically placed. You have to press and hold the safety button on the top of the hand blender while also holding the chosen speed button on the front of the handle . . . Suffice to say it's uncomfortable. Granted once you've pressed the safety button down you don't have to hold it as long as you're holding down the speed button, but if you like to pulsate what you're blending it becomes a hassle quite fast. Still, it's a minor inconvenience compared to what benefits the overall device offers.

Like the 2 speeds. Easier to hold for longer periods of time than the last Cuisinart I had. Dishwasher safe. Easy to store. Use it for soups all teh time. Love it.

This Cuisinart hand-held blender makes it much easier for me to do creamed vegetable soups. I used to have to pour the hot liquid into my regular blender. Now, with this new tool, I can cream the soups right in the pot. I usually use the high speed, and it works very well for what I want. An added plus is that there are fewer items to wash.
