This hand blender purees soup and whips up a smoothie as effectively as the plug-in models do, and it can be used at the stove without worrying about the cord getting in the way or being dragged over a hot burner. The unit comes in three pieces: charger handle, motor body, and detachable shaft. The motor has a long running time and a short charging time, and the charger can be kept plugged into the wall so it is always ready for use. This model has an ergonomically designed handle and comes with a whipping attachment, beaker, and storage stand. Your Cuisinart Rechargeable Hand Blender is equipped with nickel cadmium batteries.

The Cuisinart CSB-44N Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender comes with 3 out of 5 stars from customers at Amazon. The Cuisinart Cordless Hand Blender blends well, but many found that the rechargable batteries didn’t hold a charge well. One person who bought the cordless Cuisinart Hand Blender had one for over 3 years - was good for blending. It may all depend on what you decide to blend. Perhaps it’s not up for the crushing ice deal.
