Cuisinart CSB-77 Review For Holiday

I purchased this product mainly for making soups. I hated having to put soup into the blender in bathces to puree it. Not only was this time consuming but I usually made a huge mess in the process. Well this product solved that problem for me. I made a soup the other day and used this product to blend the soup right in the pot! While I was nervous about "only" being able to run the blender continuously for 50 seconds, I learned that 50 seconds is more than enough time for this item to blend a whole pot of soup, in fact it only took about 15-20 seconds.

I have also used the grinder attachment to mince fresh parsley, and have also made a smoothie using the included measuring cup and blender.

Although the manual states that you cannot run this product for more than a certain amount of time (depending on the function), I have learned that this product can accomplish those tasks easily in the time frames given (it took 5 seconds to mince my parsley!).

I cannot comment on the warranty as I have not had a problem with this item, but for the price if it fails I would most likely just buy a new one.

My only complaint would be that the whisk attachment seems very flimsy, but I have not actually used the whisk attachment yet, so I assume that it will work just fine for light tasks such as whisking egg whites. Although based on the feel of it I would not use it for much else.

However, I have a feeling that I am going to continue to find uses for this wonderful little gadget. For the price this item is a great buy. I would like to give it no stars but that's an option on Amazon rating. Bought in May (but only used about 4 times since then as we were away for a long summer). Used to blend tinned tomatoes. Worked fine couple of times then blades in blender, chopper and whisk turned very slowly and seemed to squeal when motor ran. Called up Cuisinart and they sent me a new kit. Same thing happened. So I called again and they sent me chopper lid and whisk attachment (only blender had worked in new kit). Now I've the handstick that works very well (for how long though?), chopper grinder doesn't work at all and neither does whisk. I looked inside the motor shaft and these "stripped teeth" everyone in the one-star category keeps on about are also looking that way in mine (I hadn't looked in the original one I sent back). Unfortunately I hadn't read the bad reviews before I bought it, and it seems that this "teeth stripping" is a continual problem with most of their hand sticks. I've already spent $20 between sending it back the first time and then receiving the new parts....I'd like to ask for a total refund for the now $70+ I've spent on it but I think such a request is futile.

Inspire Electric Wine Opener with Wine Chiller Holiday Sale

It looks good and it works. It blends in with my decor and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. This is a must have for the advid wine drinker. I always had issues opening wine with a standard opener. I either didn't put it in the right spot or I broke the cork inside the bottle. This gadget eliminates all of that. Make sure that you read the directions before using (I didn't). All you have to do is place the gadget over your wine bottle, press the button and leave it there until you hear the cork pop out of the bottle. To remove the cork, press the opposite button and it releases the cork. It's that easy. It even comes with a convenient mechanism to take the foil off the bottle. If I were to mark something off would be that it doesn't appear to be as sturdy as I thought. Even so, it's not a deal breaker for me...it still works.
product down two stars. I was given one of these for Christmas last year, and have used it more times that I will admit to! I tend to drink more red than white, so haven't taken advantage of the Chiller, but it seems to do the trick, and it is attractive enough to have on a table setting. The electric opener is a breeze, and makes opening a wine bottle virtually effortless. It is a great gift for wine lovers - I've already given one as a gift and plan to order too more. Plus, for the money, this product is a real bargain. This would also be a great gift for anyone with arthritis, other hand issues, or just has a hard time using a traditional cork-screw.

We purchased this gift for my mother who is 76 years old. She loves her occasional glass of wine, but often has difficulty removing the cork. She used this item 2 times and there it sits in the box. BTW the "Chiller" is nothing of the sort. We chose not to return it, as there may come a time when we have a gathering and need to open a bottle of wine, and then we can use this product. Not as helpful as we had hoped it would be. It really does not work well on older wines, the corks break and crumble. She can't drink "box wine" or "twist-off cap" wine, she is from Italy and that would be offensive to her. LOL.
