9 best Cuisinart immersion blenders in 2026 (9+ compared)

Cuisinart immersion blenders are made for Cuisinart, an American kitchen brand owned by Conair Corporation of Stamford, Connecticut. Carl Sontheimer founded Cuisinart to sell an adapted French food processor to American home cooks. Conair has run the brand for more than 30 years and added hand blenders, toasters and coffee makers.

The blenders are designed in the US and built by contract factories in China. In Europe, Conair sells the range through its own subsidiaries and partners, and the European line-up is smaller than the American one. You mostly find 2- and 5-speed sticks of 200–400 W, such as the CSB-175.

The main Cuisinart immersion blender series are as follows:

• Two-speed Smart Stick: The CSB-75, CSB-175 and CSB-175RP1 are the basic Smart Stick models with 2 speeds. They cost £30-£40 and run at 200–300 W.
• Five-speed Smart Stick: The CSB-179P1 and CSB300 add 5 speeds and a 3-piece kit. They suit you if you blend small amounts in tall cups.
• Power Blend: The Power Blend 400W brings 400 W, 15,000 rpm and 5 speeds for £40. It is the strongest stick at its price.
• Cordless: The RHB-100 runs on a rechargeable battery at 13,800 rpm. It comes with 2 accessories.
• High power: The CSB-750H runs at 750 W with 3 accessories for £110. It is the pick for thicker purées.
• Compact entry: The CSB-33R is the simplest model with 135 W and 1 accessory at £30.

Cuisinart and KitchenAid immersion blenders share a similar American style, but KitchenAid puts more into build and extras while Cuisinart wins on price. Most Cuisinart sticks run at 200–400 W and cost around £40. KitchenAid models generally sit at a higher price level and come in a wide choice of colours that match its stand mixers.

Both brands like multi-speed controls. Cuisinart offers 2 or 5 speeds. KitchenAid models typically have 5 speeds or a variable dial, and many include a removable pan guard that protects coated pans from the blade.

Accessories differ in quality. KitchenAid often packs 3 interchangeable blades, such as an S-blade, a frother disc and a multipurpose blade, plus a BPA-free jar with lid. Cuisinart kits stay simpler: a beaker with the CSB-75, and a whisk plus chopper with the CSB-179P1.

Pick Cuisinart if you want a light, cheap stick for soups and smoothies. KitchenAid suits you if you value colour-matched design, sturdier metal parts and a wider kit, and accept paying more for them.

Cuisinart immersion blenders commonly cost about £40-£130, while the full market runs from 40 to £150. The cheapest models, such as the CSB-75 at £30, give you 2 speeds and a basic beaker.

Around £40-£50, the Smart Stick and Power Blend models add more power or 5 speeds. The CSB-179P1 brings 3 accessories at £50, which is the sweet spot for most kitchens.

Above £90 you pay for cordless use or extra power. The cordless model costs £90, and the CSB-750H costs £110 for a 750 W motor. At £150, the CSB300 adds mostly finish and a fuller kit.

Before choosing a Cuisinart immersion blender, you should consider the following criteria:

• Motor power: The CSB-750H has 750 W, while the CSB-33R has 135 W. For frozen fruit or raw vegetables, more watts finish the job sooner.
• Number of speeds: The Power Blend 400W has 5 speeds and the CSB-175 has 2. Five steps help with small amounts and tall cups.
• Cord or battery: The RHB-100 is cordless and needs regular charging. Corded models like the CSB-179P1 run as long as the job takes.
• Accessories: The CSB-175RP1 comes with 1 accessory and the RHB-100 with 2. A bigger kit only helps if you will use the chopper or whisk.
• Blade type: The CSB-175 uses a four-point blade, while most other models have two points. More points cut faster in thick mixtures.
