Our Verdict

Cuisinart Smart Stick Cordless Hand Blender

KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is better for most purposes than the Cuisinart Smart Stick Cordless Hand Blender. The KitchenAid is better for processing fibrous ingredients when you're making smoothies, soups, and sauces. It's also much quieter. On the other hand, the Cuisinart blender's cordless design is convenient, especially if you don't have an outlet near your stove.
