Our apologies for the inconvenience. 5 star22%4 star12%3 star11%2 star15%1 star40%I love my Duet, hope it's reliableIdeal for the casual cook|Great Until It Breaksa versatile appliance, although the parts are easy to loseI was excited to get this Cuisinart a month or so ago because I love to cook, but I'm a college student who lives in an apartment. It fit the bill because I don't have tons of space (or money, for that matter) to waste on two appliances.I have done many things with the SmartPower Duet: I've made deliciously smooth shakes (including one with rum for a party - it was a hit), I've made amazing salsa, I've made gazpacho. For some of these, I used the recipe book that comes with the machine. There are a lot of good recipes, for sure, but I found it even more helpful that the recipes give you helpful hints about how to use the appliance the best way - like, which ingredients to add first, instead of just shoving everything in.Just last night I made a pasta salad with about twenty ingredients, most of which had to be chopped or minced or sliced, so I used the food processor with the chopper to pulverize the garlic and other spices into a nice smooth blend (thus avoiding the dreaded clumps of pungent garlic).

Then, I took the spices out and added red and green peppers and other vegetables and chopped them up coarsely, like salsa. costco oster beehive blenderThen I put the slicer attachment on to the food processor and sliced perfectly thin slices of cucumber and red onion. bodum bistro electric handheld immersion stick blenderI added this to some pasta, provolone cheese, pepperoni slices, and some olive oil, and voila, I had a great pasta salad in less than half of the time it would have taken me to prepare all of those veggies by hand.ninja master prep professional qb1004 ebayI certainly haven't had any complaints about the workmanship. cuisinart blender chauffant ssb1e

I love how it feels so sturdy without being bulky - the base is a little wider than most and not flimsy like most other blenders I've used, and the thick, glass blender jar is squat instead of tall and thin, which seems to make blending things a lot easier because the ingredients can easily move around near the blade. oster hand mixer model 2577The keypad controls are enclosed so it's easy to clean up splatters and spills. shimono blender spare partsThe processor bowl doesn't seem to be flimsy to me (perhaps they've fixed the problem others have complained about?). vitamix tnc 5200 prezziIn other words, this thing is great.Update, May 2013: It's been 12 years and I no longer have this item -- I sold (or donated) it when I moved cross-country in 2009.

I still liked it, but I think I'd lost some of the food processor attachments after several moves and felt that this appliance wasn't good enough to merit inclusion in my (super) tiny LA studio apartment kitchen. It's not as strong as a full-powered stand-alone blender, so I've found other tools to get the job done.These days I use a Cuisinart CSB-75BC Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender, Brushed Chrome for blending soups, etc., in addition to a Back To Basics Blender Express for smoothies, and I have an OXO Good Grips V-Blade Mandoline Slicer for slicing fruits & veggies for salads and whatnot. When I move to a larger place I will probably invest in a big blender like the Vitamix 1782 TurboBlend, 2 Speed and a full-sized food processor.
