Big Fat Tech Review
All Mixed Up
I got this item a few years ago and it's one of my all time favorite kitchen appliances. The Smart Stick is not just a mixer for drinks although it does that very well. It's a 200 watt blender. I've used it to help get the lumps out of pancake batter, stir flour into hot gravy, and well blend just about anything else. The Smart Stick not only works well it also cleans easily. The bottom half detaches from the motor and is made of stainless steal. You can even put the bottom into the dishwasher, although I've never had to do that. It won't take on the chores of full sized blenders, but for smaller jobs it's a lot easier to use and clean. The unit is also very durable. It doesn't have extra attachments like the HB-154PC, which is the only draw back. Otherwise this is a great item for yourself or as a gift.
