The Cuisinart SmartStick is truly as good as it gets. I've used a number of hand blenders before and none of them compare. I've had those that cost considerably more and some that cost less and the SmartStick puts them all to shame. I've read some complaints about the unit not being entirely stainless steel and that is true. The description is misleading in that regard and should be changed. However, that being said, the main handle is made in a very sturdy manner and the fact that it isn't all stainless is not worth mentioning further. This product is outstanding all the way around. It's very well made, it's powerful, and it does exactly what it was designed to do and more. I like the fact that the blade and protective cover aren't overly large, so the blender will work in almost any glass/plastic mixing cup. As to the complaints about spills, all it takes is getting used to the product, which is a snap. If anyone is having trouble with splashing etc., they're simply not using the SmartStick properly. I've also read the complaints about the SmartStick not having the ability to handle larger size ice cubes. I normally use crushed ice, which solves that problem easily, but even with full sized cubes, it's all in how you use the blender. You'll find that when you start to use the SmartStick, it will be drawn toward the bottom of the "glass", which to me is a good think. I never have a problem with any residue that the SmartStick wasn't able to get to. It's also very easy to lift the blender from the bottom of the "glass" you're using and move it in a up and down motion, allowing for a thorough mix. If you are using regular size ice cubes, the up and down motion will allow you to handle them easily. Should you get any spilling, it will be because you lifted the blade area too high. As to clean up, this thing is a dream. When I finish blending, I unplug the cord while the mixing section is still in the "glass". I then push the convenient button to release the main handle from the mixing stem, remove the stem and clean/dry it in less then a minute. I'm very picky about what I buy and anyone that complains about this product, either is using it improperly, or they're using it for something the product was not designed for. BUY THE PRODUCT. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Six years and still crushing small ice cubes
UPDATE January 2019 One year after this review, the SmartStick has finally stopped working. The grinding I had initially talked about has taken it's toll. The blade no longer catches and will not spin. I'm very happy to say that even though it wasn't made to crush ice cubes, it did the job perfectly for 7 years and 1000+ smoothies. Unfortunately everything wears out. At $4.14/year of very extended use (and abuse), the price is well worth it! Definitely buying another one and hoping for the same lifespan! ORIGINAL REVIEW: After 6 years of heavy usage, it's still working! I was looking for something specifically to make post workout smoothies. The old blender I had was a pain to clean so I went on a search. Amazon was offering this for 29 bucks with the measuring/mixing cup which made it an easy choice. I go to the gym between 3-5 days a week on average. I always have a protein shake/smoothie and use this to blend the ingredients. I always use a cup of small ice cubes along with almond or fat free milk. This unit WILL crush smaller ice cubes and has done so at least 5 times a week for the past six years. My ice cube trays make quarter size cubes which easily fit into the blade area of the blender. Your average ice cube that is 1.5"x1.0" will will not work and most likely damage the blades. Other weekly usages are hummus, homemade mayo, veggie drinks and making whipped cream. Some things I've noticed after a few years: -When the blade is attached to the handle, I have to turn it to get it to lock. Not really a big deal, but it just means that parts are wearing out. -A few of the seams that connect the body are a little loose. See attached pictures. -It's gotten noisy. I can hear some grinding. Probably time to spray some WD-40 down the shaft. The blender is looking pretty good after all these years. I have very little wear on the shaft connector I noticed that the same/updated model is 3-4 times more expensive. $29 when originally purchased vs. $99+ It's definitely worth the current selling price especially if I get the same life span.
