Cuisinart Smart Stick Variable Speed Hand Blender (CSB-179P1)

Only one whitelisted hands-on test of this exact model survived verification: Good Housekeeping (accessed via AOL syndication). It fully pureed a thick vegetable soup in 90 seconds and its processor chopped garlic evenly, but it crushed frozen fruit for smoothies about 30 seconds slower than GH's top picks and struggled with parsley and hummus. GH lists it under 'other immersion blenders we recommend' rather than as a category winner. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Fully pureed a thick vegetable soup in 90 seconds; Processor chopped garlic evenly.

Flagged: Crushed frozen fruit for smoothies about 30 seconds slower than top picks; Struggled to chop parsley and did not puree hummus effectively.
