Published on Mar. 19, 2025
When it comes to handy kitchen appliances, it doesn’t get much more convenient than the Cuisinart immersion blender. This cordless, handheld blender has a powerful motor that makes quick work of turning solids into purees. Better yet, it’s a fraction of the cost of a full-size blender and is small enough to tuck away in a kitchen drawer or cabinet.
In order to determine whether or not this stick blender is worth your hard earned money, our expert product testers took it for a spin in our Testing Lab to see what it could really do. Here’s everything you need to know before adding this gadget to your kitchen.

Cuisinart Immersion Blender
The Cuisinart immersion blender takes two hours to fully charge and lasts for up to 20 minutes of continuous use.
What is the Cuisinart immersion blender?
The Cuisinart immersion blender is a handheld blender that weighs just 1.3 pounds. It has a sturdy handle with a textured finish and a detachable, metal blending wand. Unlike other models we tested, the Cuisinart immersion blender is cordless. It takes up to two hours to fully charge and has a 20 minute run time. There’s only one speed, but our testers were pleased to discover that the motor on this model is quite powerful.
In addition to the blender itself, this model comes with a whisk attachment, measuring cup, recipe booklet, USB charger and wall plug.
How We Tested It
In order to find the best immersion blenders on the market, our Product Testing Team brought 10 different models into the Testing Lab for closer inspection. The Cuisinart immersion blender was the only cordless model they tested and it did not disappoint.
Vinaigrette Testing
Product testers Annamarie Higley and Dylan Fischer kicked off the testing process by making a vinaigrette with a 1:3 vinegar-to-oil ratio. They blended on high speed, starting at 15 seconds and increasing time from there, to test the unit’s emulsification capabilities. After 15 seconds, the vinaigrette looked really creamy and fully emulsified. It was more than five hours before the dressing re-separated.
Soup Testing
Next, our team moved heated up two cans of Campbell’s Chunky Savory Vegetable soup to roughly 200 degrees. After turning off the heat, they used the Cuisinart immersion blender to process the soup for 90 seconds. After 90 seconds, the soup was very smooth with no grit or chunks. “Funny enough, this continues to perform better than its corded counterpart,” notes Annamarie.
Whipped Cream Testing
For the final test, our testers used the whisk attachment to whip one cup of cream. After 50 seconds, there were stiff peaks and the volume doubled from one cup to two, making it one of the top three immersion blenders for whipped cream.
Overall, our testers were seriously impressed by the Cuisinart immersion blender. That said, there was a bit of a learning curve. Dylan had trouble getting it to start, but Annamarie was able to figure it out without any trouble. “To activate, press down the lock button until the blue lights illuminate, then press the power button,” she explains. “While in use, you can then let your finger off the lock button, while keeping the power button pressed. If the unit shuts off, start this process over again, first pressing the lock button, then the power button.”
And in spite of his initial troubles, Dylan was a big fan, as well. “The cordless Cuisinart EvolutionX provides a level of convenience that you don’t get with the competition. With a battery that takes two hours to fully charge and lasts for up to 20 minutes of continuous use, you’ll be able to quickly utilize this blender whenever needed,” he says.
