Title: Don't waste your $
Review: We love having a hand mixer to blend soups. But the Cuisinart CBS-77 is not reliable. The motor body seems hefty but it mates to the blending shaft mate with plastic gears. And in our case the gears strip when making an icing for a gingerbread house. Cuisinart customer service was nice enough on the phone, but it's a hassle to fix something that should standup to kitchen duty.
