The Cuisinart Smart Stick CSB-77 has more features than its less expensive sibling, the CSB-76 (*Est. $30) , including a stainless-steel body, chopping attachment and mixing container. Some owners posting to Amazon.com say the CSB-77 is powerful but they wish it had variable speeds, and many complain that it can spray food and make a mess. We found better reviews overall for blenders like the Cuisinart CSB-76 that cost less, and the full-featured DeLonghi DHB723 Hand Blender (*Est. $100) that cost more.
We found the best review of the Cuisinart Smart Stick CSB-77 at Cook's Illustrated, whose editors tested it alongside seven other hand blenders. It failed the pesto-making test but performed well at other tasks, including puréeing broccoli soup. We also read numerous owner-written reviews of the CSB-77 at Amazon.com, Epinions.com and Cooking.com.
