Cuisinart Blender - Smartstick Hand Single-Speed Blender: I don't have a regular blender anymore after having this great stick blender.  I use this immersion blender for smoothies or blended lattes almost every morning.  I use the mini food processor's attachment for chopping chicken for tacos, making pesto, salsa etc.  I also love this stainless look and ease of cleaning.  It's made well too, unlike the Wolfgang Puck immersion blender, it only lasted a year. The possibilities are endless with this thing!
