The Cuisinart Blender Review

As a brand, Cuisinart has stood out since it began in 1973

At that time they did not make a Cuisinart blender, they only offered a food processor, but people like Julia Child and James Beard noticed the brand even then. Since that point, Cuisinart has come to offer many other small kitchen tools and appliances.

There are now actually several models of the Cuisinart blender available, depending on what your blending needs are.

The SmartPower Duet line combines blending capabilities with food processing, as well. There's also the SmartPower 7-Speed Electronic blender, the SmartPower Premier 600-watt blender, the PowerBlend 600, the PowerEdge 700 and the Supreme Super 600, in addition to several stick blender models.

Clearly, Cuisinart offers a blender for all blending needs.

Cuisinart Stand Blenders

The features of your Cuisinart blender will vary depending on which blender you buy. The Cuisinart PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender offers 700 watts of power, pre-programmed functions for making smoothies and crushing ice, and a 56-ounce glass jar.

The PowerBlend 600-Watt Blender offers this same glass jar with 500 watts of blending power.

Both the Supreme Super 600 6-Speed blender and the SmartPower Premier Blender offer 600 watts of power, though the Supreme Super offers a slightly larger jar and more pre-programmed functions.

Finally, the SmartPower 40-Ounce 7-Speed blender offers a high level of control over the blender's power and a motor that will crush ice at any speed.

One of the main advantages of any Cuisinart blender is the Cuisinart name. These products have been a staple for years and are known to function well and have a long life. In addition, the company's customer service has good reviews, so you can be confident that any problems you do have will be remedied quickly and easily.

In addition, each one of the blenders mentioned have a relatively strong motor. While you will see other kitchen blenders with 500 and 600 watts of power, Cuisinart is known for squeezing the most utility and versatility out of their motors. This means that your Cuisinart blender may crush ice while another blender with similar power might not.

Cuisinart Duet Blender/Food Processor

If you want a machine that will both blend and process food, there are two versions of the SmartPower Duet. The BFP-703 is the more basic line, though it still will crush ice. The BFP-10CH has a more powerful motor and more pre-programmed functions.

Cuisinart Hand Blenders

The current Cuisinart Smartstick hand blenders are upgrades to the original version released years ago. They have an improved handle and grip design, more attachments and accessories, and an improved construction quality.

The cuisinart quick prep hand blender is meant to function as multi-purpose prep tools, allowing you to easily blend soups, smoothies and salad dressings, chop vegetables, and mix drinks.

Summary

If there is any disadvantage to a Cuisinart blender, it is that some of the models may be slightly overpriced. While not all consumers agree with this criticism, and some are even willing to pay a little more for the Cuisinart name, it is true that there are blenders with similar specs for less money. Whether you want to take a gamble with another brand is your choice.

In addition, some of the models are large and heavy. While this is necessary to make them as powerful as they are, this is not the blender for you if you are looking for something small, lightweight, or easy to move.

Cuisinart has so many choices that there is most likely a model that will work well for you. Their brand name alone is reason enough to buy, but when you see how the Cuisinart blender functions in relation to other, similarly priced models, you will probably find that you want to have one around. Even if you don't blend very often, these blenders will be a solid addition to your kitchen.
