Title: A Disposable Gadget
Review: A little more than a year ago I purchased a SmartStick Hand Blender (CSB-77). I was very unsatisfied with this product from the start because the mixing bowl attachment didn't work. The whisk attachment was redundant.The only useful feature - the reason I bought it in the product in the first place - to puree soups with the blending shaft - stopped working few months ago.In other words, I got barely a year of poor service from this product.The SmartStick is now laying useless on my kitchen counter waiting to be thrown away, which I am loathe to do as I firmly believe that appliances should last longer than 12 months; should not be disposable. Especially since I carefully followed the care, cleaning, and assembly instructions.I'm inclined to avoid all Cuisinart products from now on.
