Our Verdict

Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender

KitchenAid KHBBV53

The Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender and the KitchenAid KHBBV53 have different strengths. The KitchenAid is a battery-powered blender that makes a smoother blend with big batches of fibrous ingredients. It has a longer arm that makes it better for blending in deep pots, and it's much quieter when it's running. On the other hand, the Cuisinart is a plug-in blender, so you're not limited by battery life. It's lighter and makes a smoother blend with small batches of ingredients like kale, so you might prefer it for recipes like single-serve smoothies.
